FoodLogiQ Traceability vs Trace-X

FoodLogiQ Traceability helps food companies capture and share Critical Tracking Event (CTE) data across their organization and supply chain partners. It supports FSMA 204 traceability recordkeeping and lets teams follow products forward and backward at the batch-lot level. The Investigations interface shows product movement on timelines and maps and helps identify gaps in CTE data. Users can create a withdrawal from an investigation and export investigation events in an FSMA 204 Electronic Sortable Spreadsheet ZIP containing related event, location, and product information. Trustwell describes the product as aligned with GS1 standards for organizing product, location, and event data to share with supply chain partners. Mobile access supports reporting, reviewing, and acting on supply chain data. APIs and connected workflows can support integrations with ERP, MES, supplier, and operational systems. Listed audit capabilities include role-based permissions, audit trails, time-stamped activity, historical data visibility, and change tracking. Trustwell identifies restaurants, grocers and retailers, food manufacturers, and food distributors as audiences. Platforms include Android, iOS, web, and API. Pricing is on request; prospective customers can request a personalized demo.

Trace-X is an open-source system for tracking parts and their relationships along a supply chain. It can ingest data about serialized parts, batches and child components. Users can search and filter manufactured parts represented by BoM AsBuilt and planned parts represented by BoM AsPlanned. Part details include Asset Administration Shell descriptions and models for serial parts, batches, just-in-sequence processes, planned and built bills of material, and usage. A parts tree shows component relationships, while supplier-network and supply-chain views let users inspect connections. Quality workflows support investigations exchanged between a company and supplier, plus alerts sent by a company to customers. The project aims to support standardized, interoperable and data-sovereign traceability exchange within Catena-X, with access defined for participating companies and people. Its browser frontend is an Angular application served statically through NGINX. REST endpoints are documented with the OpenAPI Specification, and the project provides a Swagger UI path. The installation guide documents deploying the application with a Helm chart. In the local umbrella setup, sending and receiving quality notifications is out of scope because that requires another Trace-X instance.
