Step 3 Traceability data visualization and anomaly detection

Problem

As the MFDS strengthens AI enforcement, food traceability requirements have become stricter, requiring franchise headquarters (20–200 locations) to manage records across the entire ingredient lifecycle — receiving, storage, preparation, and sales — but per-location handwritten records and POS data remain fragmented. When a food poisoning incident occurs, tracing the source ingredient takes an average of 3–7 days, during which all franchise locations are affected, resulting in daily revenue losses in the tens of thousands of dollars.

Solution

Integrates franchise POS systems, ingredient ordering systems, and refrigeration/freezer temperature sensor data to track ingredient-level traceability in real-time. AI automatically detects anomaly patterns such as temperature deviations and expiration date violations, sending alerts, and provides a dashboard for tracing source ingredients within minutes when a food poisoning incident occurs.

Target: Food safety management teams and QA team leads at Food Service franchise headquarters with 20–200 locations

Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription $74/headquarters (up to 50 locations), additional $1.50/month per location. Anomaly detection alert Premium add-on $37/month
