TraceGains supplier management platform expands to 100,000 global supplier locations

TraceGains, the leading provider of compliance, quality, and innovation solutions for the food and beverage (F&B) industry, today announced TraceGains Gather® has grown to 100,000 supplier locations worldwide. This milestone underscores the scale and power of the TraceGains Network, which connects brands, co-packers, and ingredient suppliers to accelerate time to market, strengthen compliance, and drive supply chain resilience.

Working with half of the top 100 global F&B manufacturers, TraceGains has built the industry’s most comprehensive source-to-shelf ecosystem. Today, 100,000 supplier facilities rely on the TraceGains platform to collaborate more effectively, share critical compliance documentation, and bring safer, more innovative products to consumers faster.

“This achievement demonstrates the strength of the TraceGains community, and validates our vision of a connected, collaborative supply chain,” said Gary Iles, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Business Development, TraceGains. “Every new supplier location means one less data silo, and one more opportunity for faster onboarding, cleaner documentation, and real-time insights. By centralizing and streamlining supplier management, we’re helping brands and their partners unlock agility, efficiency, and trust at scale.”

TraceGains Gather® now hosts more than 10 million live documents, including allergen declarations, certificates of analysis, nutrition fact panels, kosher certifications, and third-party audits. This unprecedented volume of real-time, verified data allow brands to proactively manage regulatory changes, reduce risk, and accelerate product launches.

Lewis Rogers-Duffield, Lead Supplier Quality Manager, Europe, with Baker & Baker - one of Europe's leading suppliers of bakery products - explained how with 12 manufacturing sites across Europe, the company uses a wide range of raw materials and packaging and maintains a significant database of approved suppliers. “But a couple of years ago, we got talking about what we could do to streamline things to work smarter, to futureproof our supplier approval processes, and mostly – and thankfully - to retire the very old Excel database that takes about ten minutes to start because it has just so much historic data on there,” he said.

“We wanted to create a consistent approach to approvals where we could be presented with the good and the bad and be able to make an informed risk based decision. We also wanted to provide our local teams with a self-service solution,” said Lewis. “We wanted to be able to empower our teams to feel confident in demonstrating supplier approval to customers and auditors without relying on too much support from my team who might not always be available.

“We also wanted to find a solution that was a one stop shop for supplier management, a place where we can keep our procedures, our approvals, audits, and horizon scanning all under one roof, rather than going between different systems and databases to access the information. And we wanted to manage supplier audit corrective actions in a way that reduces backwards and forwards emails and deadline chasing.”

Now more than 12 months through its implementation process with TraceGains, Lewis said: “We are really happy to say that we have managed to achieve each and every one of these goals through our integration of TraceGains into our day-to-day ways of working.”

Powered by AI and TraceGains’ patented PostOnce technology, suppliers can upload a document once and instantly share it with multiple customers, eliminating duplicative effort and ensuring consistency across the network. This automation not only saves time and reduces errors, but also strengthens the relationship between buyer and supplier.
