Traceability network provider ReposiTrak and food retail technology solutions provider Upshop have announced a global partnership to integrate their technology platforms, creating an end-to-end traceability solution by connecting traceability data from the supply chain through retail.

Ahead of the January 2026 compliance date for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Traceability Final Rule, the partnership connects ReposiTrak’s network of thousands of suppliers and their traceability shipment data with Upshop’s network of more than 450 retailers and their retail stores.

In addition to enabling traceability, the partnership will also unlock margin and growth opportunities in stores by connecting supply chain data with store data to optimize inventory, labor, and customer experience management automation. This improved visibility of supply chain data can be used to optimize operations, reduce shrink and waste, and increase sales.
