Brief description

Easy Tracing is the Intesa on demand solution, accessible from the Internet in the Web mode and charged in "pay for use" mode, allows the food processing industry operators to reduce the activation times, the initial investments and the management costs to a minimum; it can be easily integrated with the commercial logistics and computer systems of operators in the food processing industry, being a natural stimulus on the systems and the previously activated EDI standards for the exchange of electronic documents.

The main advantages of the solution are:

  • Response time: in the case of crisis, real time availability of the tracing data
  • Ease of use
  • Flexibility: efficient responses to different operators, from large-scale retail trade to the retailer
  • Independence from the systems of the individual operators; the solution can be accessed on line or in the un-attended mode
  • Ease of system integration with the application platforms of the user companies
  • Multi-language, for international operators
  • Security and confidentiality for accessing 'sensitive' data.

Details about the solution

Easy Tracing manages two types of data:

  • Traceability data (for the handling of food crises): clear identification data of a lot and its transition from one producer to another, such as lot, supplier, article, quantity, production date, expiry date
  • Lot/Product qualification data to support the consumer's quality and safety requests (treatments, OGM free, cultivation methods, gauge, origin, breed...)

The main functions of the solution are:

  • support of the various document types in the standard formats (Edifact, Euritmo, XML...)
  • conversion from proprietary formats to standard formats and vice versa
  • transmission and reception of tracing data in the selected format
  • complete operator directories
  • manual entering and maintenance of the traceability data through the Internet for operators that do not have adequate computer systems
  • handling of the characteristics of the different food processing industries
  • Life Cycle consultation of the lots of a product
  • consistency check of the loading and unloading data of the individual lots
  • data filing for the time period required by the regulations
  • certification of compliance with the regulations and any specifications or controls between operators
  • activation and support of the emergency procedures in the case of a health warning· integration with the control systems and investigations by the qualified health authorities.
