osapiens ftrace
Build a continuous chain of custody across suppliers, processors, packers and logistics partners. Follow every lot from harvest, catch, or farm right to the consumer scan, and share verified data with exactly the audiences who need it.
When one missing event breaks the chain
A recall hits. An authority asks you for origin data. A retailer wants proof for one specific lot. You need an instant answer, but the evidence sits across suppliers, processors, packers and logistics providers, in different systems and formats. With every split, merge or transformation making the chain harder to reconstruct.
osapiens ftrace turns those individual events into one queryable chain of custody. Partners capture each step once; the solution links parent and child lots in real time, validates and enriches the data, flags gaps and controls what retailers, authorities and consumers can see.
From scattered events to one continuous chain of custody
Capture every event
Bring in harvest, catch, slaughter, transformation, shipping and receiving events from every tier. Connect suppliers, processors, packers and logistics partners via REST, JSON, EPCIS XML or XLSX, alongside ERP and master-data feeds, partner portals and the osapiens Data Network.
Link every lot as it moves
Lots are split, merged, transformed and repacked. The chaining worker links parent and child lots as events arrive, so aggregation and disaggregation become part of the chain automatically. The result is one continuous, queryable event history from source to scan.
Enrich and close the gaps
Smart workflows validate incoming events, normalize data and check whether required information is complete. Missing or inconsistent evidence is flagged before it creates a break in the chain. Certificates, vessel and gear disclosures or plot-level origin data from photos and PDFs all become part of the traceability record instead of remaining trapped in documents.
Query exactly what you need
Start with a lot and retrieve the full chain or limit the query to origin only. Filter by date and depth to investigate one specific question without working through the entire supply chain. Explore traceability data in the portal or make chain queries available to other systems through the API.
Disclose to the right audience
Share verified data by product and by permission. Give retailers the operational data they need, authorities access through B2A flows and consumers selected information through a B2C QR code. One chain powers every disclosure without exposing the entire chain to everyone.
Frequently asked questions
Lot-level traceability connects every movement and transformation of a specific product lot into one continuous history. Instead of knowing only which direct supplier delivered a product, you can follow the chain across harvest, catch or farming, processing, packing, transport and receipt.
Every partner contributes events as products move or change. The osapiens ftrace captures these events at lot level and links related parent and child lots as they arrive. This creates one queryable chain of custody across different companies, systems and supply chain tiers.
The platform records aggregation and disaggregation relationships between lots. When products are combined, separated, transformed or repacked, the resulting child lots remain linked to their parent lots. This preserves traceability even across complex processing steps.
EPCIS is a standard for capturing and exchanging supply chain events. By structuring traceability data as EPCIS 1.2 events, osapiens helps different partners and systems exchange information in a consistent format instead of building a separate data model for every connection.
osapiens ftrace can ingest traceability events from suppliers, processors, packers and logistics partners through REST, JSON, EPCIS XML and XLSX. ERP and master-data feeds, partner portals and the osapiens Data Network can also contribute data to the same chain.
Catch certificates, vessel and gear disclosures and other origin evidence can be added directly to the relevant traceability chain. Smart flows help process and verify information from structured data as well as photos and PDFs, while missing information is flagged for follow-up.
Yes. You can retrieve the full event chain or narrow a query to specific information such as product origin. Queries can also be limited by date and depth and accessed through the portal or API.
Yes. Permissions determine exactly which information is shared with each audience. Retailers can access business-relevant traceability data, authorities can receive required information through B2A flows and consumers can see selected origin and product information through a B2C QR code.
No. The solution is designed for food supply chains across categories, including fish and seafood, meat, dairy, fruit and vegetables, grains and multi-ingredient products. The same event-based approach connects origin, movement and transformation data at lot level.
osapiens ftrace is supply chain traceability software that enables batch based traceability from farm to table and from catch to plate. It allows businesses to collect, manage, and share traceability data across the supply chain on one centralized platform. It connects origin data, processing steps, shipping events, and batch related data into a single digital traceability chain. This makes it possible to track products across the supply chain and provide business partners, consumers and authorities with relevant information.
