In short
Agenbord Trace is a proposed ERP for distributors and producers who must know where every lot came from and went: food distribution, food and beverage manufacturing, building supply, 3PLs, commissaries and craft beverage. It is a concept shown with illustrative designs, delivered today as a custom build that reuses the inventory and procurement modules of our production ERP engine.
Distribution software is often old, quote-only and slow to implement, while the rules around it are getting stricter. The FDA's Food Traceability Rule (FSMA 204) and retailer supplier requirements mean distributors need lot-level records they can produce quickly.
Agenbord Trace is our proposed answer: order capture from the channels customers already use, inventory by lot, location and weight, and traceability records created as a by-product of receiving, production and shipping rather than a separate data-entry job.
It is a concept. We show it with illustrative designs and build it for clients as a custom project on our ERP engine. If you are evaluating distribution software now, the edition pages explain what a build would include and how it compares with the established vendors.

Phased
Agenbord Trace: common questions.
Is Agenbord Trace a product I can buy today?
Not as a ready-made product. It is a concept shown with illustrative designs and delivered as a custom build on our ERP engine. If several clients in one industry commission it, that edition becomes a product.
Will it make us FSMA 204 compliant?
No software makes you compliant on its own. Trace is designed to record the key data elements the rule describes and produce the required spreadsheet quickly; your food safety plan and procedures still matter. This isn't legal advice.
Can it work alongside our current accounting system?
Yes. Most builds keep the general ledger in QuickBooks, Sage or NetSuite and sync invoices, bills and inventory value to it.
