Platform & Benefits
How Traceability Can Work for You
At Trace Register, we understand that traceability is more than a requirement: it’s an investment to solve problems, improve efficiency, and build trust. Our next-generation platform, ORIGIN, helps seafood businesses like yours reduce costs, strengthen supply chains, and achieve a potential return on investment (ROI) of 10X or more.
Some benefits, like labor cost savings, are easy to measure. Others—like preventing supply chain failures or boosting sales through higher customer satisfaction—may be harder to quantify but have even more impact.
Full-Chain Traceability (FCT)
Seafood data is often unstructured, unreliable, and located in numerous silos. ORIGIN uses “Link. Analyze. Act.” to bring all your data and documents into one unified, easy-to-use system.
- Access all data and documents in one place, anytime, anywhere
- Master data reduces manual data entry by 80%+
- Link data to provide context and clarify meaning
- Continuous analysis enables users to provide high-quality data
- Use data to meet compliance, sustainability, and business goals
Interoperability
Sharing data between traceability platforms can be slow, costly, and error-prone. As the proven foundation for ORIGIN, TR5 is GDST capable (Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability) and offers a flexible API—making interoperability faster, more reliable, and ready for the global seafood supply chain.
- Share complete traceability data across systems—from producer to consumer
- Streamline supply chain operation with standardized data formats and protocols
- Eliminate manual re-keying and portal fatigue

System Integrations
Your ERP and warehouse management systems hold valuable data—ORIGIN helps you put it to work. With simple flat-file uploads (CSV, Excel) that link files by item and lot codes, data can come from ERP, your other IT systems, or an API.
