How it works

From source records to a validated payload.

1

Bring your records

Enter one event at a time or import supplier shipping data from a CSV file.

Complete and validate

Map fields, add missing details, and correct values that do not meet the expected format.

3

Review and submit

Inspect the resulting JSON payload before sending it with your own sandbox API key.

Important to know

An independent aid—not a compliance guarantee.

Trace Assistant supports the preparation of traceability records, but using these tools does not make a business FSMA 204 compliant. You are responsible for reviewing your records and determining whether they meet customer, regulatory, and other applicable requirements.
