Complete batch traceability is not an option in the food industry — it is a legal requirement. EU Regulation 178/2002 obliges every food establishment to provide complete documentation from raw materials to end customers. And yet many medium-sized companies are still struggling with Excel lists, manual processes and media breaks — until the next audit.

Our new white paper shows how a modern ERP system makes batch tracing routine: fast, legally compliant and fully automated. You will learn which weak points are typical in practice, how fabular starts as an end-to-end platform — and what this means in practice for your audit preparation, recall management and certification capacity.

‍

This is what you can expect in the white paper:

• ✅ What EU VO 178/2002, IFS Food & BRC really require of you
• ✅ The 5 most common weak points in batch tracing in SMEs
• ✅ How ERP systems reduce recall management from hours to minutes
• ✅ FIFO/FEFO logic and best before date control as a lever against food waste
• ✅ ROI analysis: What digital traceability really brings
• ✅ Checklist: Is your company audit-proof today?
