ReposiTrak Announces Second Patent-Pending Within Its Enterprise Platform for Touchless Traceability™ Technology

Key Terms

key data element (kde) technical

A key data element (KDE) is a single, clearly defined piece of information that is essential for a business process or regulatory requirement — for example an account number, lot identifier, patient ID, or transaction amount. Think of it as a vital ingredient in a recipe: if it's wrong or missing, the final result (reports, compliance filings, or trading decisions) can be spoiled. Investors care because accurate KDEs drive reliable financial reporting, regulatory compliance and operational decisions; poor KDEs can lead to misstated results, fines, or bad investment choices.

traceability lot codes (tlcs) technical

Traceability lot codes (TLCs) are unique identifiers assigned to specific production batches that let companies, regulators and suppliers follow where each batch was made, stored and shipped—like a visible history tied to a package’s barcode. Investors care because reliable batch tracking speeds and narrows recalls, limits legal and financial exposure, demonstrates operational control and compliance, and helps preserve brand trust and revenue when problems arise.

warehouse management systems (wms) technical

Software that organizes and controls how goods are received, stored, tracked, picked and shipped inside a warehouse, acting like a warehouse’s brain and traffic controller. Investors care because a well-run system cuts labor and error costs, speeds delivery, and lets a company handle more volume without proportionally higher expenses—similar to upgrading from paper maps to GPS for a delivery fleet, which can improve profit margins and support growth.

Breakthrough technology solves the bottleneck and cost problem of distribution center traceability

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ReposiTrak (NYSE: TRAK), the world’s largest food traceability and regulatory compliance network, today announced that its Touchless Traceability™ solution is patent pending. The innovation is a core capability of the ReposiTrak Enterprise Platform, enabling automated, end-to-end food traceability without manual case scanning or modifications to existing warehouse management systems (WMS).

Touchless Traceability™ addresses a central challenge of FSMA 204 compliance: generating complete, accurate Key Data Element (KDE) records across complex supply chains without adding labor or operational friction. The system ingests supplier shipment data containing required KDEs, including Traceability Lot Codes (TLCs), and correlates that information with operational data from distribution centers, including receiving, movement, and outbound shipment activity.

Using this approach, Touchless Traceability™ automatically reconstructs traceability chains across supplier shipping, DC receiving, DC shipping, and store receiving. Complete KDE records are generated and stored in a secure, searchable environment within the ReposiTrak Enterprise Platform, enabling FSMA 204 compliance without additional labor, scanning, or WMS upgrades.

“Touchless Traceability represents a fundamental shift in how traceability can be achieved,” said Randy Fields, Chairman and CEO of ReposiTrak. “By embedding automated traceability directly into our enterprise platform, we’re eliminating the operational burden that has historically made compliance expensive and difficult—while delivering the scale and reliability the industry needs.”

As part of the ReposiTrak Enterprise Platform, Touchless Traceability™ operates alongside the company’s broader suite of regulatory compliance, document management, master data, audit, and supply chain solutions, providing a single system of record for traceability and related compliance requirements.
