What's changed

Same trusted platform.
Bigger, bolder, better.

Let's be clear about one thing first if you're an existing Food Trace customer, nothing you rely on has gone anywhere. The compliance workflows, the audit trails, the supplier approval processes you've built into your operations they're all still there.

But this isn't just a lick of paint. The relaunch marks a step change in what Food Trace can do. We've expanded the platform, sharpened the modules, and rebuilt the experience from the ground up so that managing your supply chain is faster, clearer, and more powerful than it's ever been.

The platform

What's new in
Food Trace

This relaunch isn't just cosmetic. Every module has been reviewed, refined, and in several cases significantly expanded. Here's what's inside the platform today.

Supplier Approval

Structured, auditable onboarding with all documentation in one place. No more chasing paperwork across email.

Recipe & Specification Management

Version-controlled, traceable, and accessible to everyone from development kitchen to production floor.

Nutritional Calculation

Accurate nutritional data calculated automatically as your recipes evolve ready for labelling and compliance.

NPD

Bring new products to market faster. Structured, collaborative, and fully connected to your supplier data.

CSR Reporting

Capture, track, and communicate your supply chain sustainability credentials with confidence.

Supplier Audit App

Mobile-first, offline-capable field auditing that feeds directly back into your central platform.

Specification Management

A single source of truth for every product specification across your entire supplier base.

The Context

Why now?

The UK food industry is under more pressure than ever. Tighter regulations. Higher consumer expectations. Supply chain complexity that only seems to grow.

Brands that get caught out whether on allergens, traceability, or supplier standards don't get second chances. The food businesses we work with can't afford to operate on spreadsheets, disconnected systems, or hope.

The new Food Trace is our commitment to building a platform that matches the scale of that challenge. Built in Paisley, Scotland, by a team that has spent years embedded in the UK food industry we know the regulations, the pressures, and the day-to-day realities of running a food business at scale.

"Brands like Selfridges, Fortnum & Mason and Itsu operate at a level of scrutiny most software simply wasn't built for. That's exactly what Food Trace is built for."
