Also called "locations," facilities are the points at which events occur for a product or ingredient. A Facility can be a farm, manufacturing plant, distribution center, warehouse, store, or any other place in which a product is grown, processed, transported from, delivered to, held in storage or placed on the shelf.
Facility information is integral to the "track and trace" features in ReposiTrak. It's used to track movement between your facilities and those of your suppliers and retailers. In the event of a recall or investigation, facilities are the points at which analysis will likely begin. When performing research in ReposiTrak, many options provide Facility details in both text and map formats.
ReposiTrak's Compliance Management tools use facilities for storing Facility-specific documents, such as Facility inspections for your plants and warehouses. They also work to organize product-specific facilities associated with certain products and product types. For example, seafood processing facilities may require documentation not applicable to bakery or dairy products.
