Today, you’re able to display your TraceApproved™ badge in your Gather® profile to signal to potential customers that you’re ready to comply with FSMA 204 regulations. 

In the near future, you’ll be able to connect your data from Gather to your Trace Exchange account, saving you the time and duplicate effort needed to enter your location and product information into multiple platforms. 

You can share your shipping KDEs with an unlimited number of customers. 

If some of your customers are not part of the Trace Exchange network, we have a variety of options for sharing KDEs outside of the solution platform.
