Press Release Summary: Traceability Need Not be an Expense Says TraceGains

Press Release Body: In the past nine years, hundreds of companies have used food traceability solutions from TraceGains to not only reduce their recall risk but also boost their profits.

Two, peer-reviewed, university studies have shown that patented traceability technology from TraceGains enhances supply chain visibility and boosts customer profits by 3% to 5% of revenue with a return on investment greater than 300%. These results were found in a wide range of industry segments including livestock, citrus, potatoes, fruits, vegetables and many more. Indeed, any consumer product good can receive similar benefits.

With proven solutions and hundreds of implementations, return on investment (ROI) and profitability enhancement has been independently confirmed in university studies. Companies\' bottom lines are positively affected through the following results:
. Improved operational efficiency by identifying profit leakages.
