Lawson Software has introduced Lawson M3 Trace Engine 3.0 in the U.S. market. The application is designed to help companies in the food & beverage industries improve product quality, and prevent and manage potential food safety and quality risks.
The application is expected to specifically help companies strengthen and simplify the process of tracking ingredients and finished products through complex global supply chains. In addition to automating both internal and global track and trace processes, the new Lawson Trace Engine solution helps quality and food safety managers continually improve business processes, the company said. Lawson Trace Engine also simplifies compliance with current U.S. and European Union food safety regulations while providing tools to adjust to future requirements.
Says Vicki Griffith, marketing director of food and beverage at Lawson Software, "Managing risk in today's high-stakes food safety environment requires more than just an ability to track and trace ingredients worldwide. Our trace solution helps companies gain a competitive advantage by delivering greater visibility into business processes so they can resolve quality issues before products reach consumers."
