Trace Central
Trace Central provides end-to-end traceability for manufacturers tracking materials, processes, batches, shipments, suppliers, and customers.
What Trace Central is
Trace Central provides end-to-end traceability for manufacturers tracking materials, processes, batches, shipments, suppliers, and customers. It connects ERP, MES, QC, IoT, and partner-system data into a live graph of materials and product flows. Teams can investigate issues upstream and downstream, view multi-tier supplier inputs, and follow customer deliveries. Quality-control, composition, and environmental data add context for root-cause and risk analysis. AI monitors for quality drift, contamination risks, and supplier issues, then predicts downstream customer impact. The product supports recall and what-if impact analysis and can build batch- and lot-level traceability from ERP, MES, and QC data. TruMetric says it adds AI and data orchestration to an existing technology stack without requiring replacement. Displayed integrations include Databricks, IBM, Google Cloud, Azure, AWS, SAP, Snowflake, and Oracle. Pricing is available on request.
Good
