ReposiTrak, a provider of solutions for food traceability and regulatory compliance, has announced an expanded strategic partnership with the National Grocers Association (NGA) to deliver new educational resources and tools to independent grocers for traceability compliance management, operational efficiency, and financial improvement. Through this enhanced collaboration, NGA has selected ReposiTrak as its strategic partner for traceability compliance management.
Independent grocers currently face multiple challenges, including inflation, SKU proliferation, labor constraints, and increasingly complex food safety regulations. The expanded partnership aims to address these issues by equipping retailers with practical tools designed to free up working capital, improve cash flow, and reduce compliance risk without requiring additional labor or disrupting store operations.
Randy Fields, Chairman and CEO of ReposiTrak, emphasized the importance of accessible free cash flow for independent grocers, stating, “For independent grocers, access to free cash flow is the difference between standing still and investing in the future.” He added that ReposiTrak has decades of experience helping retailers reduce working capital tied up in inventory, allowing them to reinvest in store upgrades, technology, and growth. Fields expressed enthusiasm for deepening the partnership with NGA to provide independents with the necessary education and resources to compete in the current market.
ReposiTrak’s cloud-based platform is utilized by thousands of retailers, wholesalers, and suppliers to streamline commerce, enhance food safety programs, and automate compliance with evolving regulations, including the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) 204 traceability requirements. The platform’s offerings include food traceability, compliance and risk management, and supply chain solutions.
Greg Ferrara, President and CEO of the National Grocers Association, highlighted NGA’s commitment to providing independent grocers with timely insights and practical tools. He noted that the continued collaboration with ReposiTrak will deliver education and resources that help NGA members comply with regulatory requirements and implement operational strategies supporting long-term performance.
ReposiTrak plans to showcase its technology platform, including its NGA traceability compliance management solution, at booth #2504 during The NGA Show. The event is scheduled for February 2–3 at the MGM Grand Conference Center in Las Vegas.
