Platform Features
Everything your food business needs for traceability
From ingredient intake to customer delivery — TraceLayer covers the full supply chain with simple QR-based tracking that works on any phone, with zero apps to install.
QR Infrastructure
Opaque QR tokens. All meaning server-side.
Every QR code is an 8-character opaque token — it carries no data itself. All meaning (what product it is, who owns it, what state it's in) is resolved server-side when scanned. This means you can re-purpose QR codes, change product details, and maintain full control without reprinting labels.
- Bulk generate 100s of QR codes in seconds
- Download as PNG or SVG for any label size
- Re-assign QR codes without reprinting
- Public and private product pages per QR
- Scan event logged with timestamp + user
Ingredient & Batch Traceability
Know exactly what went into every batch.
Scan ingredient QR codes directly into production batches as you use them. TraceLayer automatically records which supplier lots, quantities, and expiry dates contributed to each batch — giving you the data you need for food safety audits, recalls, and customer transparency.
- Scan ingredients into batches in real time
- Record lot number, supplier, vendor, and expiry
- Link HubDoc expense IDs to batches
- Mark batches complete and export traceability reports
- Full ingredient history per finished product
Photo Documentation
Photo evidence at every step.
Capture photos directly from your phone camera when registering ingredients, products, or conditions. Multiple photos per item, stored securely and linked to the traceability record. Ideal for documenting delivery condition, batch appearance, or packaging.
- Camera-first upload on mobile devices
- Multiple photos per item or batch
- Tap to view fullscreen lightbox
- Swipe between photos in gallery
- Stored permanently against the audit record
Audit & Compliance
Every event recorded. Nothing lost.
TraceLayer maintains an append-only event log for every QR code, entity, and batch in your system. Who scanned it, when, what state it was in, what changed — all of it is recorded permanently and can be filtered, exported, and reviewed for FSA inspections, BRC audits, or SALSA assessments.
- Append-only event log (cannot be deleted)
- User attribution on every action
- State transition history per entity
- Filter events by type, user, date range
- Export-ready for BRC, SALSA, FSA audits
Customer Transparency
Give customers the story behind their product.
When a customer scans a QR on your product, they see a beautiful product page tailored to them — ingredients, provenance, batch date, allergen information, and any campaign promotions you've set up. Build trust and differentiate your brand through radical transparency.
- Role-based views (anonymous, customer, staff, admin)
- Configurable visibility per field
- Allergen and provenance display
- Campaign promotions on scan (discounts, messages)
- Branded product story pages
Multi-User & Multi-Tenant
Built for teams. Ready to scale.
TraceLayer is multi-tenant from the ground up. Every piece of data is isolated per business, every user has a defined role, and access is enforced server-side. Add staff, configure roles, and manage everything from the admin dashboard.
- Roles: admin, staff, customer, anonymous
- Full data isolation per tenant
- Staff scanning without full admin access
- Per-tenant branding and QR domains
- Invite-only staff access via secure sign-in
