The TraceGains community just hit a major milestone: 100,000 supplier locations worldwide are now connected through our leading supplier management platform and networked ecosystem. That’s 100,000 manufacturing facilities, co-packers, and ingredient suppliers helping brands bring safe, compliant, and high-quality products to market faster.

This moment isn’t just about a number. It’s a powerful reminder of why modern supplier management is essential—supply chain success doesn’t happen in silos. In working with half of the top 100 global food & beverage manufacturers, we’ve learned one principle is absolutely key: collaboration is the engine of a smarter, faster supply chain. And the TraceGains Network is proof that when companies work together, everyone moves forward.

The future of supplier management

Every new supplier location in the TraceGains Network means one less data silo and one more opportunity for faster onboarding, cleaner documentation, and real-time insights. As the world’s largest business ecosystem for the CPG supply chain, we’re uniquely positioned to help brands and their suppliers operate with greater agility, efficiency, and trust.

Reaching 100,000 supplier locations validates what we’ve believed all along: the future of supply chain management is connected, collaborative, and intelligent. Instead of manually managing documentation and endlessly chasing data, teams can tap into a shared network where information flows securely and seamlessly.

What’s inside the network: A look at supplier document trends

TraceGains Gather® centralizes this flow of information, giving brands and suppliers a single hub to share, manage, and validate critical compliance documents.

As of today, Gather hosts 10 million live documents on the platform, an unprecedented volume of real-time data fueling smarter decisions.

Some of the most commonly exchanged documents reflect the evolving regulatory landscape and rising consumer demands:

• Allergen-related documents continue to top the charts, as manufacturers navigate increasingly complex formulations and labeling requirements in a global market where even minor errors can lead to major recalls or reputational damage.

• Kosher certifications are another frequently shared document type, underscoring the growing demand for products that align with religious, cultural, and dietary needs. The surge in these documents reflects both consumer interest in transparency and brand efforts to broaden their market appeal.

• Other frequently requested documents include certificates of analysis (COAs), nutrition fact panels, and third-party audits; all of which are central to building trust and speeding time to market.

These trends offer a clear signal: brands need faster access to verified supplier data than ever before. At the same time, suppliers need a way to manage that demand without drowning in email chains and spreadsheets.

The power of a networked ecosystem

What sets TraceGains apart is not just the volume of data, it’s how that data moves. Our AI-powered platform automates document intake, extracts critical information, and flags discrepancies in real-time so both brands and suppliers can spend less time on paperwork and more time innovating.

And thanks to TraceGains’ patented PostOnce® technology, suppliers upload a document just once and share it instantly with all customers. This speeds operations, cuts errors, and builds stronger partnerships across the network.
