FSMA 204 Traceability Readiness: Why Software Isn't Enough

As the food industry prepares for FSMA 204 , I’m hearing a common question from leaders across the supply chain: “If we invest in the right technology, are we ready?” Technology is essential, but it is not the full answer.

But purchasing a new platform does not create a working traceability program on its own.
