What you don't pay for

The industry convention is to price traceability as a platform license with layered implementation and per-entity fees. TraceReady is not that. You don't pay:

• No platform license fee. You keep the tools you already own.
• No per-seat user fees. Your whole team joins working sessions.
• No per-SKU or per-lot charges. FTL scope is covered under the tier.
• No per-supplier onboarding fees. Outreach is included.
• No separate implementation project after onboarding. The 60 days is the work.
• No annual recertification fee. Audit-defense access continues on the monthly subscription.

Why not a flat SaaS price?

Traceability remediation is not a software problem. The expensive work is operational: mapping your FTL scope, reconciling lot codes across systems, running supplier outreach, rewriting SOPs, and running a mock recall end-to-end. A single flat price would either undercharge operators with real complexity or overcharge operators with narrow scope.

The tier ranges above reflect the realistic spread based on FTL scope, facility count, and supplier count. After a 30-minute gap review call we can place your engagement into a tier with a fixed number, not a continued range.

Pricing FAQ

Pricing questions

• How much does TraceReady cost? +

  Typical first-year engagement is about $22,000 all-in. Onboarding is $5,000–$10,000 one-time (scoped to the number of FTL products, facilities, and suppliers involved). The ongoing program subscription runs $1,500–$3,500 per month and includes your compliance lead, weekly working sessions, supplier outreach management, SOP updates, and audit-defense support. We don't charge per-seat, per-SKU, or per-lot, and there's no separate implementation fee after onboarding.

• What's the 60-day program scope? +

  The standard 60-day scope covers: (1) Gap diagnostic across your full FTL product list, all in-scope CTEs, and your current supplier base; (2) Remediation of the highest-severity findings (lot linkage, missing KDEs, machine-readable export, stale SOPs, mock-recall execution); (3) Supplier outreach for your top 20 FTL suppliers under the 30-day activation playbook; (4) Audit-defense binder (SOPs, data-flow diagrams, mock-recall results, retailer-scorecard responses). Out of scope by default: custom ERP API builds, 3rd-party software procurement, onsite audits, and bespoke legal review. All available as scoped add-ons.

• Do you integrate with my ERP / WMS? +

  We work alongside SAP, NetSuite, Oracle, Blue Yonder, Produce Pro, Famous, and most other food-industry ERPs and WMSes via flat-file and CSV handoffs during the 60-day program. For MVP customers, we are not pitching API-level integration. Direct real-time API connectors are on our roadmap but are almost never the blocker to compliance. The data you need already exists in your systems; the problem is extraction, linkage, and machine-readable export, which we solve with structured reports and lightweight middleware inside the 60 days.

• How long until I can show a retailer I'm compliant? +

  For most customers the timeline is 45–60 days from kickoff to responding to a retailer scorecard with real data and documented SOPs. Customers entering with critical gaps (fragmented data across five systems, stale or missing SOPs, or zero supplier KDE flow) sometimes need 90 days, and we tell you that honestly during the gap-diagnostic week. We structure week 7–8 around the artifacts retailers ask for (24-hour sortable export, mock-recall result, CTE map), so by day 60 you're handing back concrete evidence, not promises.

• Doesn't ReposiTrak solve this if Kroger mandates it? +

  No. This is the single most common misconception. ReposiTrak is a data-exchange and supplier-document layer that Kroger mandates for onboarded suppliers. It passes data between parties; it does not generate the KDEs and CTEs that FSMA 204 requires on your side. Most brands and distributors using ReposiTrak still fail their own internal KDE capture (lot linkage, receiving CTE, transformation CTE, shipping CTE) because that data has to originate from their ERP, WMS, or production system, not from ReposiTrak. Having a ReposiTrak seat and being FSMA 204 compliant are two different problems, and we routinely find customers who have paid for the first assuming it solved the second.
