Who needs TRACKSOFT?
Small to medium sized food manufacturers that need to comply with food traceability regulations and/or anyone who produces or grows food products that are shipped to European Union.

What is traceability?
ISO (International Organization for Standardization), which develops voluntary international standards for products and services, defines traceability as the "ability to trace the history, application, or location of that which is under consideration."

Using TRACKSOFT, traceability lets you identify:

• All the stages involved in the fabrication of a product
• The origin of the ingredients and components
• The ingredient and raw material suppliers
• The places where the products and ingredients are warehoused
• The equipment used in the production or manipulation of the products
• The production, distribution and sales batch numbers
• If there is a problem with products or ingredients you can identify the exact products affected and who they were shipped to

What are the main areas of traceability in food production/manufacturing?
TRACKSOFT provides a full traceability solution. The four main modules in TRACKSOFT are:

• Receiving - Identify raw materials as they enter inventory
• Production - Manage internal production
• Shipping - Track all shipments in granular detail
• Reporting - Ensure the traceability of all finished products and materials/components

Can I assign different privileges to different users in TRACKSOFT?
Yes - you can create user accounts that have different roles, for example: users (who have limited ability to make changes) and administrators (who can change anything within the system).

Does TRACKSOFT support multiple users? TRACKSOFT can be configured to share its database among multiple users. To ensure maximum performance TEKLYNX recommends you limit the number of users to 25. There is also a multi-database edition available that can use several separate databases to track activities for separate facilities or companies. 

Are there mobile application options available with TRACKSOFT?
TRACKSOFT has a mobile application module that is designed to handle inventory and receiving activities. If you want to perform additional functions on your PDAs or mobile devices, the option exists to add mobile applications powered by IDEAM that can be customized to assist with additional functions. Applications powered by IDEAM can communicate directly with TRACKSOFT.
