How does a product recall work?

Enter or scan any code (batch, pallet, delivery note, complaint). The software shows the source materials, the batches produced, the customers delivered and the quantities still in stock, then generates the recall file.

How does it handle downgraded products and by-products?

A batch (or part of it) can be destroyed with a signed report, or downgraded for unbranded sale, animal feed or bedding: a linked batch is created and the intended use is printed on the delivery note. By-products (bran, husks, shells…) are put into stock as traceable batches.

How much does TraceFlow Chain cost?

Download and the trial version are free. Paid plans: Startup PME, Pro Cloud, Enterprise, monthly or yearly, by card or Mobile Money (WAEMU zone). Current prices at https://traceflowchain.traceflowlabs.com/en/pricing.
