What does building a Food Traceability app include?
Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.
Discovery & Architecture
Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.
UI/UX Design
Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.
Development & QA
Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.
Launch & Support
User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.
Key features of your Food Traceability app
Supplier & Lot Receiving Log
Log every incoming ingredient with supplier, lot number, quantity, and receiving date. Each lot creates a traceable record that follows the ingredient through your production and distribution process.
Production Batch Tracking
Link input ingredient lots to finished product batches so you know exactly which raw materials went into each production run. This one-up, one-back traceability is the foundation of recall readiness.
Distribution & Customer Shipment Tracking
Record which customers received product from each batch with shipment dates and quantities. In a recall scenario, you identify affected customers within minutes.
Mock Recall & Audit Support
Run mock recalls directly in the app to test your traceability speed and completeness. Generate recall reports that show the full chain from supplier lot to customer delivery.
