FoodLogiQ Traceability vs WHIMO

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.

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.

WHIMO captures and shares supply-chain transaction and geolocation data from origin to destination. It is designed for cooperatives, local aggregators, transporters, processors, and exporters, including people working in low-infrastructure contexts. Users can record buying, collecting, selling, and delivery transactions, track traded volumes, document raw materials becoming processed products, and review transaction history. Farm locations can be added by scanning QR codes, recording GPS locations, dropping map pins, or entering geolocation later. WHIMO can display supply chains across direct and indirect suppliers, measure geodata coverage for transactions, and help users request missing location data. Participants can collect traceability information from suppliers, transfer it to customers, view supply-chain diagnostics, and download data for due diligence. The service is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with an option to self-host. The European Forest Institute hosts a ready-to-use version and manages its data under its data policy; companies and institutions can also replicate and adapt the open-access source code for their own system. WHIMO is free and based in Joensuu, Finland.
