Compliant, Connected Portals for Food & Beverage Companies on NetSuite
With FSMA 204 enforcement approaching, food and beverage companies need digital traceability across their supply chain. Spherical BRM connects brokers, distributors, and suppliers through branded portals with lot-tracked ordering and compliance documentation — all backed by NetSuite.
The challenges you face
FSMA 204 compliance deadline approaching
The FDA's Food Traceability Final Rule requires Key Data Elements (KDEs) and Critical Tracking Events (CTEs) for high-risk foods. Distribution centers must store traceability data accessible to the FDA within 24 hours.
Lot tracking and traceability gaps
Many suppliers label at the pallet level and practice lot mixing within single pallets — lacking the granularity needed for regulatory compliance and rapid recall response.
Supply chain data fragmentation
Multiple raw material suppliers across different regions using paper-based or outdated systems make unifying traceability data daunting. Every additional link in the supply chain adds confusion.
Partner relationship complexity
Food and beverage companies manage complex webs of brokers, distributors, co-packers, and retail buyers — each needing different access levels, pricing, and compliance documentation.
