TE-FOOD partners with Honeywell to offer a full range of traceability tools for supply chains

Since 2016, TE-FOOD is leading the blockchain based end-to-end traceability industry by innovative software solutions to digitize and automatize supply chain processes. It tracks and traces products from the primary producer to the retail shelves in multiple countries, for goverments, retailers, and food producers.

TE-FOOD and Honeywell partnered in Vietnam to work out a set of hardware and software tools to make it easier to onboard supply chain companies.

Traceability projects are much more complex than providing a blockchain based platform to load data for decentralized verification and storage. Physical identifiers need to be applied on the products on multiple levels (item, box, pallet, container, etc.), the system needs to be inclusive to allow various methods of data capture, the collected data about critical tracking events needs to be cleaned, synchronized and processed, and the retail products need to have machine readable identifiers (usually in the form of 2D barcodes) to enable consumers to scan them in order to access verified traceability data.

Most of the traceability service providers just focus on some elements, but this leaves food companies in a situation, where they need to contact various vendors for different components of the project, when they don’t necessarily have the technical knowledge to make proper decisions.

The partners’ goal is to make these decisions easier for the food companies by offering the necessary hardware and software tools from just one vendor, ensuring that the elements are compatible, and the outcome is what the customer envisioned.

TE-FOOD is the world’s largest publicly accessible, farm-to-table food traceability solution. Started in 2016, it serves 6000+ business customers, and handles 400,000 business transactions each day.
