supplier entering your supply chain.
Every supplier approval decision is made inside Food Trace. Approve, reject or request further documentation with a single action. All decisions are timestamped, attributed to the reviewer and permanently retained — giving you a complete, searchable supplier approval history that satisfies BRCGS, retailer and FSA audit requirements without any manual filing.
