Be audit-ready and recall-ready — on Odoo.
The FDA Food Traceability Rule compliance date is July 20, 2028 — but the suppliers, labels and systems that make traceability work take months to align, and your retailers and distributors are already asking for it. Get ahead now and turn compliance into a competitive edge.
More time isn't less work. It's a head start you can use — or lose.
The deadline moved. The requirement didn't.
Compliance is now due July 20, 2028 — but FSMA 204 is permanent. The extension is time to get it right, not a reason to wait.
1 hour to answer the FDA.
On request, you must produce a sortable electronic spreadsheet of your traceability records (CTEs & KDEs) within 1 hour. Paper and scattered sheets don't scale to that.
Supply-chain alignment takes months.
Traceability only works end-to-end. Getting lot data flowing from every supplier, through your operation, to your customers is a multi-month effort — starting in 2028 is starting late.
Recalls & lost contracts are the real risk.
Without lot-level traceability, one contaminated ingredient means a broad, costly recall — and retailers are already dropping suppliers who can't share traceability data.
Traceability that's built in, not bolted on.
ACLN implements Odoo so FSMA 204 readiness becomes a byproduct of how you already run the business — purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, POS and sales in one system.
01Lot & batch tracking, end-to-end
Every incoming ingredient and outgoing product carries a lot/batch number automatically, from receiving to shipment — no separate logbook.
02CTEs & KDEs captured automatically
Critical Tracking Events — receiving, transformation, shipping — and their Key Data Elements are recorded as your team works, not re-keyed later.
03FEFO for perishables
First-Expired-First-Out picking for short-shelf-life, date-sensitive goods — cuts waste and keeps the freshest stock moving first.
04One-click sortable export
Produce the FDA-requestable, sortable electronic spreadsheet of CTE/KDE data in minutes — answering a 1-hour request without the fire drill.
05Single source of truth
POS, inventory and manufacturing share one database — so any finished lot links straight back to the exact supplier lots it was made from.

Onshore quality. Nearshore team.
The seniority and standards of a US consultancy — senior, Odoo-certified talent — working your hours, at nearshore rates. Official Odoo partner since 2017, ACLN delivers complete Odoo solutions (core + BI, RPA and AI) and stays to operate them with you. The partner that stays.
Online when you are
Uruguay runs about 1–2 hours ahead of US Eastern. Real-time collaboration across the full workday — not a team you brief at night and hear back from tomorrow.
US-grade Odoo talent
Senior, Odoo-certified consultants and engineers — the seniority and standards you'd expect from a US firm, structured to deliver more value per dollar.
You'll actually understand each other
Clear English, Western business norms and the same way of working — fewer misread requirements, fewer surprises, and easy on-site visits when you want them.
High value, not a gamble
Significantly lower rates than US consultancies — without the time-zone gap, handoff lag or quality lottery of far-shore outsourcing.
