ReposiTrak, a food safety solution provider backed by international food
safety consultants Leavitt Partners and retail technology experts Park
City Group (NYSE MKT: PCYG) today announced the successful initiation of
the “on-boarding” process for the suppliers of the third member of ROFDA
(Retailer Owned Food Distributors & Associates), the largest cooperative
of independent food wholesalers in the U.S. The ReposiTrak system, which
includes Document Management and Track & Trace, is now available to
ROFDA’s hundreds of retail locations in the northeast U.S.
“The continued adoption of the ReposiTrak food safety tracking and
tracing platform by a third ROFDA wholesaler continues to enforce that
food wholesalers today recognize the need for increased visibility to
business relationships and the ability to track and trace products and
their ingredients in the supply chain,” said Rich McKeown, President of
ReposiTrak.
Powered by Park City Group’s technology, ReposiTrak helps manage
regulatory, financial and brand risk associated with issues of food
safety in the global food supply chain. ReposiTrak enables grocery
warehouses, supermarkets, packaged goods manufacturers, food processing
facilities, drug stores and drug manufacturers, as well as logistics
partners, to track and trace products and components throughout the
food, drug and dietary supplement supply chains. In addition, the
technology addresses the market need of receiving, storing, sharing, and
maintaining regulatory documentation all in one convenient location.
ReposiTrak reduces risk in the supply chain by identifying backward
chaining sources and forward chaining recipients of products in near
real time.
Glendale, Alabama –based ROFDA is a cooperative established in 1962 to
promote and support the retailer-owned distribution segment of the food
industry. ROFDA members represent 20% of the supermarket industry and
nearly 50,000 suppliers.
About Retailer Owned Food Distributors & Associates (ROFDA)
In 1962, a few cooperative food distributors from around the southeast
formed an organization known as the, “Southeastern Food Cooperative
Association,” (SFCA). Over the years, growth from outside the southeast
occurred as cooperatives recognized the numerous advantages of
participating in a cooperative only environment. Due to the new
geographic locations of its members and the changing demands of the
retailer owned segment of the food industry, the name, Southeastern Food
Cooperative Association, did not appropriately identify its members. So
in 1988, a name change of the association was approved by its Board of
Directors, and thus the new name, Retailer Owned Food Distributors &
Associates (ROFDA), emerged. The mission of ROFDA is to promote and
support the retailer-owned distribution segment of the food industry
with value added programs and services, all in furtherance of servicing
independent retail grocers located throughout America.
