BRISTOL, PA — Sojo Industries recently unveiled Sojo Shield™, a pioneering dock-to-dock software platform designed to enhance tracking and tracing capabilities from production to retail. This blockchain-based, multi-device application is set to revolutionize how companies address quality and compliance issues in real-time, utilizing cutting-edge geo-location tracking technology.
The introduction of Sojo Shield™ comes at a crucial juncture, as the food and beverage industry prepares to meet the stringent requirements of the FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Food Traceability Rule. By January 2026, organizations will be mandated to maintain detailed records of key data elements related to critical tracking events and must be capable of providing these insights within 24 hours upon request by the FDA. This rule aims to bolster the traceability of food products, thereby enhancing the rapid response to foodborne illnesses or allergy-related emergencies.
Sojo Shield™ offers a solution that not only meets these regulatory demands but also streamlines the entire data collection and analytical process. By leveraging geo-location technology, the platform provides a real-time view of product movements from warehouse to retailer, facilitated through digital scans of QR codes generated by Sojo Shield™. This enables customers to swiftly identify and address potential issues, thereby minimizing the risk of widespread delays and ensuring consumer safety.
Barak Bar-Cohen, Founder and CEO of Sojo Industries, emphasized the urgency of adopting modern tracking technologies, “Each year, consumers face risks from foodborne diseases, manufacturing errors, and labeling mishaps that can lead to serious health consequences. Many of these incidents could have been prevented with contemporary solutions to everyday supply-chain challenges. Sojo Shield™ represents our commitment to enabling brands to preemptively tackle these escalations while adhering to the new FDA compliance guidelines.”
One of the standout features of Sojo Shield™ is its use of blockchain technology, which serves as a secure and transparent ledger for all transactions. This not only enhances the integrity of physical data but also provides an immutable record of all critical reports associated with the movement of food and beverage products. This level of transparency and security is unprecedented in the industry and positions Sojo Shield™ as a vital tool for brands looking to safeguard their supply chains against contamination and compliance risks.
By harnessing the power of blockchain and geo-location technologies, Sojo Industries is setting a new standard for supply chain management, offering brands a robust platform to ensure the integrity and safety of their products from dock to dock.
