On February 6, 2023, one of the leading innovators of cold and supply chain management solutions, DeltaTrack, was awarded a patent for the Method of Managing Information for the Supply Chain of a Perishable Commodity by the US Patent and Trademark Office. DeltaTrack's FlashTrack® Global Chain of Custody (CoC) information management system was introduced in November 2022, which pertains directly to the patent.
FlashTrak® CoC expands the capabilities of DeltaTrak's FlashTrak® platform to provide detailed supply chain traceability. This helps stakeholders find all the parties involved in an order, track shipment information, predict product quality, and ensure they follow government rules. The process from the growing environment to consumers of perishable goods is critical to reducing waste, preventing spoilage, and ensuring product safety. However, due to siloed and antiquated systems, there is a lack of centralized visibility into the entire lifecycle of a perishable good.
FlashTrak® CoC is a cloud-based platform that acts as a central repository for the entire organization's data. It was designed to use information gathered via (EDI) Electronic Data Interchange and (API) Application Programming Interface. The platform is built on the Dapicon ecosystem, which houses data contributions from sellers, buyers, marine traffic companies, third-party logistics enterprises, real-time temperature tracker providers, and government agencies. In addition, FlashTrak® CoC collects contributions from association partners to provide consistent visibility into the supply chain and yield complete transparency. The platform offers actionable data enabling users to identify all suppliers related to the shipment associated with any order.
FlashTrack® CoC users enjoy the benefit of end-to-end product traceability using industry-standard GS1 standards, can track international shipment using identifiers, locate loads of land, air, and water, helps in managing and maintaining regulatory compliance documents and additionally automate the collection of international shipping documents and digital claim services. In addition, FlashTrack® continuously monitors the status of the products in transit and addresses sustainability.
