Full traceability in the Food Safety industry has been obscured by problems like a lack of uniform identification standards, differing government regulations, limitations of proprietary software systems, and the overall complexity of the food supply. Afilias Discovery Services (ADS) finally provides an answer to these challenges.

ADS is based on an open, standards‐based software protocol that can be implemented along with any Software as a Service (SaaS) traceability or inventory tracking system. Our open standards approach means that ADS is the only fully interoperable solution able to touch any participant in your supply chain.

ADS is also identifier agnostic and customizable for any supply chain to hold any type or combination of identifiers.  ADS is uniquely suited to collectively manage and track food items like ingredients that move through the supply chain and become new consumable items.

ADS allows users to provide secure, selective visibility to each member of the supply chain enabling them to control access to each piece of data that is stored and shared.

True end‐to‐end visibility is vital, especially in urgent cases like food recalls.  ADS finally provides a traceability system that is compatible with all IT systems and business applications and allows all supply chain participants to derive the benefits of having the full life‐cycle of an item in a common referral service.
