SOFTWARE FOR SMES WITH SUPERMARKET AMBITIONS
by Amanda Hatton Marketing manager, Stevens Traceability
Traceability in the food sector means to ‘trace’ or ‘keep track’ of food in the supply chain.
More specifically in food manufacturing, traceability enables food producers to trace all steps a food has taken, from its raw ingredients through to the finished product ready for despatch and consumption.
If food is recalled or withdrawn for safety reasons, having a traceability system in place helps to quickly identify the affected food and reduce risks for consumers.
It’s for this reason that supermarkets want to know what traceability system a food producer has in place and is included in their framework when applying to supply goods.

Small food producers may not have a formal traceability process in place, or they may use a paper- based system that consists of hand-written records.
Whilst this is ok, sometimes issues such as human error,
missing paperwork, and inconsistencies impact the effectiveness of the records.
By using traceability software, records become electronic and easily accessible and if there are any issues, they can be identified quickly and traced precisely at every stage of production.
This can impress supermarket decision-makers, as well as make audits a lot easier for food producers, with data and reports being available at the click of a button.
Stevens Traceability Systems provides traceability software to small and large food producers enabling them to easily evidence product traceability from end to end, demonstrate due diligence, and provide peace of mind for both consumers and supermarkets.
With food safety being of extreme importance to consumers, retailers, and manufacturers alike, having a robust traceability system in place is paramount.

The software or technology that you implement also needs to be written for the purpose it’s planned to be used for.
We often find that approximately 60 per cent of software is used by organisations for an activity that’s not its primary purpose, which limits its useful and hinders overall efficiency and productivity.
But whatever the function, the software and the organisation must be secure in its approach and ensure that it’s passed all the relevant certifications for use.
When working with clients, we operate a straightforward process. Review what’s in place, move the correct data to the right place, and ensure it’s secure.
Our experts use our proven approach and patented technology to help increase operational efficiency while establishing the appropriate controls.
However, the best software any company can have is the software that sits in the minds of the humans who work within any organisation – it’s called mindset.
By building this mindset through digitalarmour™, our training and adoption service designed to limit the risk of human error, employees will help secure an organisation from any mishaps.
The type of critical thinking is essential for workforces that are more mobile, more remote, and more diverse than ever before.
So, in short, make sure you start by educating the mindset of the employees and then let the employees help define the software needed to power and secure your business or organisation.
