Traceability Software That Connects Every Product, Process & Supply Chain Event
TransGenie's traceability software connects products, batches, suppliers, inventory, and shipments in one platform. So, you can trace every step from source to customer with the data your team needs to act with confidence.
Your Data is Everywhere. Traceability Shouldn't Be.
Supplier details may be available in spreadsheets or emails. Batch and lot records may live in production systems, while shipment data sits with logistics. Your ERP, MES, and QMS each hold part of the picture.
When you need to trace a product, investigate a recall, or answer an audit request, your team can end up searching across the systems and joining records by hand.
TransGenie's Traceability software connects the relevant data points and helps you build a clear product history across your supply chain without changing how every team already works.
1. Supplier records live in too many places
Supplier details can be spread across emails, spreadsheets, and different systems. This makes it harder to find the right information when you need it.
2. Batch data can lose its production context
Batch and lot records may not be linked to the materials and production steps behind them. This makes the full product history harder to follow.
3. Your systems capture pieces, not the journey
ERP, MES, QMS, and logistics systems each hold different details. Without the right links, teams cannot quickly see the complete product journey.
4. Recalls should not start with a data hunt
When you need to trace a lot or product, searching through files and systems takes a long time. Your team needs a simpler way to find the records that matter.
What is Traceability Software?
Traceability software links key product and supply chain records. It helps the teams see where a product came from, what happened to it, and where it went.
1. Where did it come from?
Follow a product or batch back to its source, materials, suppliers, & earlier records.
2. What happened along the way?
Follow a product through the processes & stages it passes through within your operation.
3. Where did it go?
Follow a finished product, lot, or batch through its next stages, including shipments, destinations, & customers.
One Connected View of Every Product Journey
TransGenie brings core supply chain events into one connected traceability system. Thus, giving your team the visibility of supply chain visibility software with the traceability depth your operations require. From suppliers and incoming materials to production, batches, inventory, shipments, and customers, each step can be linked to the next.
Instead of searching separate records, your team can start with a product, lot, batch, supplier, or shipment and trace the related records across the chain in one connected view.
1. Know where materials come from
TransGenie's traceability system links suppliers, source details, materials, and incoming lots to the products and batches they become part of.
2. Follow what happens during production
Our traceability software connects materials with production steps, processes, batches, and finished products to keep the product history together.
3. Track products as they move
With this software, you can follow lots and products through inventory locations and movements as they move between stages of your operation.
4. See where products are sent
Link finished products and lots to shipments, locations, and customers so their journey can be followed through distribution with the traceability software.

One Traceability Record, Four Markets
Businesses selling across markets often face different traceability rules. TransGenie's software keeps your core traceability data connected and helps you organize the records needed for each market.
1. FSMA 204 / 21 CFR Part 1 Subpart S
For covered foods, TransGenie helps capture and connect CTEs, KDEs, lot information, and electronic traceability records for regulatory requests.
2. EUDR / Digital Product Passport
Keep sourcing and product information connected for applicable requirements. Our traceability platform supports the data needed across relevant EU traceability workflows.
3. SFCR PART 5
For applicable food businesses, connect supplier, product, lot, and customer records. TransGenie's traceability software helps organize the information needed for one-up, one-back traceability.
4. FSSAI & REGIONAL
For food businesses operating across markets, our traceability management system helps organize supplier, lot, production, and distribution records alongside applicable local requirements.
| REQUIREMENT | UNITED STATES | EUROPEAN UNION | CANADA | INDIA & GLOBAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Framework | FSMA 204 | EUDR / ESPR-DPP* | SFCR Part 5 | FSSAI & regional requirements |
| Traceability focus | CTEs & KDEs | Origin & product data | One-up, one-back | Food & supply chain records |
| Key records | CTE, KDE & lot data | Origin, sourcing & product data | Supplier, customer & lot data | Supplier, lot & production data |
| Data retention | 2 years** | Depends on requirement | Varies by record** | Depends on requirement |
| Response | Electronic records | Digital records | Accessible records | Organized digital records |
| TransGenie role | CTE & KDE records | Connected product data | Linked traceability records | Centralized traceability data |
FSMA 204: What the 2028 date means
The FSMA 204 traceability requirements remain in place for covered foods, including maintaining Key Data Elements (KDEs) linked to Critical Tracking Events (CTEs). Congress has directed FDA not to enforce the rule before July 20, 2028. The date delays enforcement; it does not remove the underlying recordkeeping requirements.
For businesses, the extra time is an opportunity to prepare their data, processes, and traceability systems before enforcement begins.
Built Around Recognized Traceability Standards
TransGenie helps connect product and supply chain data using widely used identifiers, event data standards, and traceability frameworks. This gives your teams a consistent way to capture, connect, and use traceability records.
GTIN, GLN & SSCC
Identify products, locations, and logistics units across your supply chain.
Supply Chain Event Data
Connect events that show what happened, when, where, and why across the product journey.
Food-Chain Traceability
Organize traceability information across food and feed supply chains.
Chain of Custody
Support chain-of-custody information across sourcing, processing, and product movement.
Traceability Software That Works Both Ways
Good traceability software should let your team start with the record they have and move through what is connected to it. TransGenie links products, lots, batches, suppliers, production, shipments, and customers for both backward and forward tracing.
| START WITH | TRACE BACK | TRACE FORWARD |
|---|---|---|
| Product | Materials & suppliers | Lots & shipments |
| Lot or batch | Source & production | Products & customers |
| Supplier | Source records | Related products |
| Shipment | Product & lot | Destination & customer |
| Production event | Materials & inputs | Finished products |
| Recall investigation | Root source | Affected locations |
Why this matters in practice:
Traceability needs differ across products and processes. A food producer may need lot-level records, while a manufacturer may need unit, batch, or production-run detail. The right level depends on how your operation works.
TransGenie lets you define the traceability level for each product or process, from individual units and lots to batches, production runs, and locations. We ensure our supply chain traceability software keeps those records linked, so your team can work with the level of detail your operation actually needs.

Explore Solution →What Should Traceability Software Deliver?
A traceability platform should do more than store records. It should connect the data your operation creates, make relationships easy to follow, and give your team usable records when an investigation, recall, or audit requires them.
| WHAT TO CHECK | TRANSGENIE TRACEABILITY SOFTWARE | ERP | MES | QMS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lot & batch relationships | Native | Partial | Native | Rarely |
| Supplier data | Native | Partial | No | Partial |
| Forward & backward tracing | Native | Partial | Partial | Partial |
| Record retrieval | Native | Partial | Partial | Native |
| Data exchange | Native | Partial | Partial | No |
| Recall investigation | Native | No | Partial | Native |
| Existing systems | Connects | Core system | Core system | Core system |
The practical test. If your team still has to combine spreadsheets, emails, ERP records, production data, and shipment documents to answer a traceability question, the system is not giving you the connected view you need.
The right platform should fit around the systems and processes you already use. TransGenie connects relevant traceability data without requiring your ERP, MES, or QMS to become the traceability system itself.
One distinction matters: traceability software is not simply another place to store supply chain data. Its value comes from the relationships between records - showing what happened, what was affected, and what connects back to the source.
