Press Release Summary: Traceability Equals Profitability According to Food
Manufacturing SaaS Leader TraceGains

Press Release Body: TraceGains, Inc. (www.tracegains.com) was founded in 1998 with a
100% focus on traceability. The company has a patented delivery system -14 patents
granted and growing -and also is an Issuer of United States Department of
Agriculture Process Verification Program (PVP) Label.

In the past nine years, hundreds of companies have used food traceability solutions
from TraceGains to not only reduce their recall risk but also boost their profits.

Two, peer-reviewed, university studies have shown that patented traceability
technology from TraceGains enhances supply chain visibility and boosts customer
profits by 3% to 5% of revenue with a return on investment greater than 300%. These
results were found in a wide range of industry segments including livestock, citrus,
potatoes, fruits, vegetables and many more. Indeed, any consumer product good can
receive similar benefits.

With proven solutions and hundreds of implementations, return on investment (ROI)
and profitability enhancement has been independently confirmed in university
studies. Companies' bottom lines are positively affected through the following
results:
. Improved operational efficiency by identifying profit leakages.
. Enhanced product consistency by pinpointing causes of variation.
. Increasing market share by assuring trading partners they are protected with
actionable data.



By providing real-time bi-directional supply chain transparency and traceability,
TraceGains reduces risks to the corporation and its executives, who may become
personally liable in case of a recall. Positively Assured Traceability provides the
following essential capabilities:
. Continuous attribute visibility for each incoming ingredient received.
. Identity preservation across commingling, batching, blending, transformation, and
re-work.
. Continuous comparison between on-floor activities, business rules, and compliancy
requirements.

However, TraceGains not only adds the missing capabilities to protect food
companies, its officers and executives, and consumers, but goes beyond to turn data
into actionable business intelligence from the floor to the board room.


By using Web Services to interconnect with all leading ERP, SCM, and MES systems,
Positively Assured Traceability can deliver compliance with internal business rules,
assurance of pedigree claims, enhanced profitability, and increased operational
excellence. From the grower, aggregator, manufacturer and processor, to distribution
and logistics, and finally the retailer, only TraceGains provides bi-directional
unit-level (item, carton, pallet, etc.) traceability while boosting profitability
and cost-effectively improving operational excellence.
