ftrace Integration

Easy, standardized exchange of origin data

In the German food industry, ftrace is an established standard for exchanging origin data. Directly integrated into your ERP system, it enables standardized data exchange with business partners and suppliers while minimizing the number of interfaces required.

Standardized data exchange

Secure connection to osapiens ftrace

Reliable traceability

Exchange of origin data with business partners and suppliers

Reduced technical effort

Fewer interfaces and separate data exchange processes

Transparency across the supply chain

Integrating ftrace complements traceability data in the CSB-System with additional origin information. Data is exchanged automatically with osapiens ftrace using standard interfaces.

When goods receipts are recorded, suppliers and items are uniquely matched using the address, lot number, and GTIN. Based on this, the CSB-System retrieves the available origin data and transfers it to the ERP workflows for downstream processing.

Meet requirements. Ensure quality.

Origin data directly in the ERP system

The CSB-System makes the retrieved origin data available throughout your ERP system, allowing you to use and process relevant information directly within operational workflows.

Check compliance with requirements

The origin data provided by the system can be used to check compliance with regional origin, certification, and other quality requirements. These include organic and QS certificates as well as sustainability labels such as MSC and ASC.

Identify deviations early

Suppliers can be notified automatically if defined requirements are not met. As origin data is already available in the shipping notice, deviations can be identified and addressed before the goods physically arrive. Suppliers can correct or complete the data as needed and resubmit it.

Share documents reliably

Origin data can be printed on labels, delivery notes, invoices, and other documents. Information can also be transmitted directly to business partners electronically, for example, via EANCOM DESADV or food retailers’ origin portals, such as Aldi ATC.

Frequently asked questions about ftrace integration

Data is transmitted via web services (upstream and downstream).

The integration supports uploading origin data for fish, red meat, and poultry and product data for finished products, as well as sending events to notify customers.

The system also provides origin data and data quality messages. Origin data is supplied product-independently, and differentiated automatically and product-specifically during import. Data quality messages indicate missing or critical elements within the event chain.

For meat products, data on birth, rearing, slaughter, cutting, and processing can be transferred. For fish products, information on fisheries, fishing methods, aquaculture, and catch and harvest periods is available.

In addition, certificates such as organic, Global G.A.P., and QS certificates, address details of the companies involved – including place of rearing and aquaculture farm data – and information on additional processing steps can be transferred for all products.

Reporting includes transaction overviews and data quality evaluations, with checks on data completeness, date intervals, and the number of organizations involved.
