The FDA may have officially pushed the FSMA 204 enforcement deadline to July 2028, but if you ship fresh produce to major retailers, that extension is an illusion.
Retail giants like Walmart and Kroger are not waiting for the government; they have already established their own strict traceability deadlines. Today, if a truckload of leafy greens, melons, or fresh-cut fruit arrives at a major retail distribution center without the required Key Data Elements (KDEs) electronically attached, it isn’t just a compliance failure. It could be a rejected load, a disrupted relationship, and a threat to your bottom line.
This creates a major operational challenge. If your Transportation Management System operates in a silo, separated from your sales system and warehouse platforms, achieving the required level of traceability becomes a manual bottleneck. You cannot trace what your systems cannot share.
At ALC Logistics, we know that compliance cannot disrupt your capacity. Because AlchemyTMS was born in the highly demanding, time-sensitive fresh produce and cold-chain industry, it is engineered to handle volatile supply chains with precision. We do not force rigid, out-of-the-box software on our customers; each AlchemyTMS solution is unique and built around your specific business rules.
There is no need for a massive internal IT project to overhaul your warehouse software, AlchemyTMS acts as a powerful integration engine. We map the critical FSMA data flowing from your vendors directly into your existing architecture.
We offer deep integration options, including API, EDI, XML, Flat file, SFTP, and Database connectors. This allows our platform to connect seamlessly with your ERP/sales systems, third-party databases, and WMS/Inventory Management Systems.
Enterprise-Grade Customization
Because every AlchemyTMS environment is unique, our development ceiling extends far beyond standard data mapping. For our largest enterprise clients, we actively build and integrate highly specialized operational tools—including custom driver mobile apps, automated guard-shack check-ins, and “soft-stop” exception logic for inbound compliance. We have the architecture to build exactly what your supply chain requires.
The result is intelligent data flow: AlchemyTMS ensures that the necessary compliance data arrives before the freight ever hits the receiving dock. By connecting this data to your existing tech stack, we empower your warehouse systems to execute their own compliance protocols—without paralyzing your inbound operations.
We are bringing these deep integration capabilities to the IFPA Global Produce & Floral Show. Whether you need specialized enterprise development or simply a modular TMS that connects your supply chain data for FSMA traceability, stop by Booth 3733 in Orlando to see how we do it without forcing you to rip and replace your current software.
