About Wholechain

Wholechain is a supply chain traceability platform that makes product journeys transparent, helping responsible businesses meet regulatory, customer, and sustainability expectations. Built on global data standards such as GS1 and GDST, Wholechain supports complex, multi-commodity supply chains across food, agriculture, and consumer goods industries. The platform enables interoperable, event-based, and lot-level traceability across suppliers, processors, distributors, logistics providers, retailers, foodservice operators, and certification bodies worldwide.

Wholechain helps organizations capture, share, and validate critical supply chain data across sourcing, transformation, shipping, receiving, and production events. By creating a connected digital chain of custody, businesses can improve food safety, strengthen recall readiness, verify sourcing claims, meet ESG and sustainability goals, and comply with evolving regulatory frameworks such as FDA FSMA 204 and international traceability requirements. The platform is designed for enterprise scalability and integration, supporting APIs, EDI workflows, ERP integrations, and interoperability with external traceability and certification ecosystems. Wholechain works closely with industry groups, standards organizations, seafood and agriculture partners, retailers, and global suppliers to simplify traceability adoption without requiring all participants to use the same internal systems.

In addition to regulatory compliance, Wholechain enables businesses to build trust and operational visibility throughout their supply networks. Customers use the platform to manage traceability programs, verify certified products, monitor supply chain integrity, support responsible sourcing initiatives, and provide transparent product histories to downstream buyers and consumers.
