Körber, a global technology firm specializing in supply chain and manufacturing solutions, has introduced STEPLogic Tracker — a purpose-built software platform designed to assist food companies in meeting the recordkeeping and retrieval requirements mandated by the FDA's Food Traceability Rule under FSMA Section 204.
Körber's STEPLogic Tracker addresses the operational challenge of managing critical traceability data by providing a structured, app-based system that captures and organizes information related to receiving, transformation, and shipping processes. The solution specifically focuses on lot-level tracking and the documentation of Critical Tracking Events and Key Data Elements.
The STEPLogic Tracker platform is intended for mid-sized food manufacturers that may currently rely on spreadsheets, paper logs, or disconnected systems. Körber's innovation supports the 24-hour recall response timeline established by the FDA. The solution is part of the company's broader STEPLogic suite.
