Traceo

Traceo brings food-safety records and operational checks into one system for restaurants, bakeries, caterers, and other food businesses. It suits teams that need both manual records and sensor-linked temperature monitoring, with a free tier for trying the workflow at one establishment. Its range is useful, but the free plan’s monthly record cap and the business’s responsibility for its own HACCP procedures are important constraints.

Overview

Traceo combines goods receiving, traceability, temperature records, cleaning plans, labeling, and record exports. Bringing these recurring tasks together can make a single record system practical for teams that would otherwise handle them separately. It supports record keeping and configured workflows; it does not guarantee HACCP compliance, so each business must ensure its own procedures and requirements are met.

Traceo’s stated safeguards include HTTPS/TLS, encryption at rest, JWT authentication, role-based access controls, and regular backups. Its privacy policy names Cloudflare for hosting and Scaleway for storage, says personal data is not sold, and describes processor obligations under GDPR. These are useful protections for a system handling operational records, though they do not replace a business’s own data-protection assessment.

Key features

Receiving and traceability

Delivery checks can capture supplier details, temperatures, product condition, documents, photos, and the delivery decision. This gives teams a way to keep the evidence and outcome of a goods check together. For traceability, label photos prompt product, batch, and date fields, but staff must review and correct them before saving; the photo workflow assists data entry rather than removing the need to verify it.

Temperature and cleaning records

Teams can enter temperature readings manually or connect sensors that send readings and configurable alerts. That makes Traceo relevant both to businesses logging checks by hand and to those that want sensor readings in the same system. Cleaning plans can assign tasks by zone, include instructions and products, and retain timestamped completions with photos, giving managers a record of both assigned work and its completion.

Labels and reporting

Quick Print prepares labels from an existing product or traceability record and sends configured fields to a thermal printer. Reusing saved records can reduce repeated entry, while the workflow depends on a configured thermal printer. Record exports and inspection-ready reports support review and documentation, but they should not be confused with a guarantee that a business meets every applicable requirement.

Pricing

Traceo uses a freemium model. Traceo Free costs nothing and covers one establishment with up to 50 HACCP records per month. That is a useful entry point for a small operation or an initial evaluation, but the establishment and record caps make it a limited fit for larger teams or heavier monthly use. There is no free trial.

Traceo Plus has custom pricing, billed per establishment. It includes unlimited HACCP records, whole-team access, inspection-ready reports, and remote training and support. It is the more suitable plan for businesses that need uncapped records and staff access, though the per-establishment billing means multi-site buyers should account for each location.

The Traceo temperature pack also has custom pricing. It is a standalone temperature-monitoring option with a gateway, connectivity, app and web access, and additional sensors available. It fits businesses focused on sensor monitoring rather than the full record-keeping package. Traceo says it responds to quote requests within 24 hours; remote training and support are included in paid quotes.

Platforms

Traceo is available on Android, iOS, and the web. It supports offline mobile access, multi-location support, digital checklists, temperature logs, and inspections and audits. That combination is useful for teams working across sites or recording checks away from a desk.

Who it's for

Traceo is a good match for food-service teams that want receiving checks, traceability, cleaning tasks, temperature monitoring, and labels in one system. The free plan can suit a single establishment with modest record volume; teams needing more than 50 records a month or whole-team access should consider Traceo Plus. Businesses that need a software guarantee of HACCP compliance should look elsewhere, since Traceo leaves procedures and requirements to each operator.

Pros and cons

• Broad workflow coverage: receiving, traceability, temperature records, cleaning, labels, and exports sit within one product.
• Manual and connected temperature capture: teams can choose manual readings, sensors, or both, with configurable alerts for sensor readings.
• Free entry plan: one establishment can use the service at no cost, though the 50-record monthly cap limits sustained use.
• Review required for photo-based traceability: extracted product, batch, and date fields need correction or approval before saving.
• Compliance remains the operator’s responsibility: Traceo does not guarantee HACCP compliance, so its records do not substitute for sound procedures.
• Paid prices are custom: buyers must request a quote to compare the Plus and temperature-pack costs.

Alternatives

For a wider restaurant food-safety software comparison, consider these alternatives:

• BipOrder HACCP is worth considering if you want a freemium option with a free trial; it supports Android, iOS, web, and API access.
• SafePlate is another freemium choice with a free trial and a free plan for one facility that includes HACCP checklists, temperature logs, inspection tracking, and mobile access. Choose it if those are the core needs and web access is sufficient.
• Ideagen Safefood 360° is a paid alternative with Android, iOS, web, desktop, Linux, and API support; pricing is custom through a demo request.
• Alert65 is a paid option with Android, iOS, and web access and pricing by contact.

Verdict

Choose Traceo if your food business wants one system for HACCP records, delivery checks, sensor readings, cleaning tasks, and labels, with a free plan for a small single-site start. Its broad workflows and mix of manual and sensor-based temperature logging are the strongest reasons to use it. Look elsewhere if you need a software guarantee of HACCP compliance or require a published paid price before requesting a quote.
