Combined PLM and Live Traceability Solution Helps Retailers Comply with Regulations, Reduce Recall Costs, and Boost Consumer Trust
Trace One, a premier SaaS leader in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and compliance software tailored to the food & beverage, cosmetics & personal care, and chemical industries, and Connecting Food, a pioneer in real-time natural resources supply chain traceability, today announced a strategic partnership designed to deliver unparalleled transparency from farm to shelf.
This integrated solution unifies detailed product development data with real-time traceability, enabling retailers and manufacturers to confidently meet compliance requirements, reduce risk, and strengthen consumer trust.

Meeting New Regulatory Demands
New regulations like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and expanded ESG reporting standards require companies to provide precise, verifiable data on ingredient origins, land use, and social impacts. Traditional fragmented data management is insufficient.
By combining Trace One’s comprehensive PLM system, which manages product specifications and supplier data, with Connecting Food’s real-time tracking of agricultural practices and logistics, businesses now have:
• A unified digital record from product concept through retail shelf
• Rapid, precise recalls that minimize disruption and costs
• Instant proof of compliance for deforestation-free sourcing, animal welfare standards, and social responsibility
• Improved supplier collaboration with shared data visibility
• Automation that frees quality, CSR, and procurement teams for strategic activities
