Traceability Assurance: Proven trust, digital records that stand up to scrutiny
Traceability has become a fundamental requirement in modern livestock production. Markets, regulators, and supply chain stakeholders increasingly expect farmers to maintain accurate records of animal movements, treatments, births, and historical events. Yet many producers still rely on paper logs and spreadsheets, making it difficult to produce audit-ready data when required.
Kraal’s Livestock Management Platform helps farmers overcome these challenges by digitising and structuring all operational records in a centralised, cloud-based system. Although Kraal is not a traceability system by itself, it plays a vital role in enabling traceability by ensuring that all required data is captured accurately, time-stamped, and stored securely.
Structured Data That Supports National Traceability Systems
Kraal records critical livestock information including treatments, events, sales, purchases, movements, and more, in a format designed to align with national traceability frameworks such as LITS.
This means farmers can maintain a complete history of each animal’s lifecycle, ensuring they always have clean, organised, audit-ready data. When the farmer is registered with RMIS, Kraal will soon be able to submit all required data directly to RMIS, removing the need for duplicate systems or manual reporting. For farmers who are not yet registered, the data is still preserved and can be sent to RMIS whenever needed.
This makes Kraal a powerful enabler of compliance, without replacing the official traceability system.
Strengthening Operational Transparency
Accurate, time-stamped digital records ensure that farmers can meet buyer expectations and regulatory audits with ease. Every treatment, movement, and event becomes part of a verifiable history, reducing disputes and strengthening market confidence.
With all records stored securely in the cloud, farmers can retrieve documentation instantly during inspections or sales negotiations. This transparency supports:
- Biosecurity protocols
- Compliance audits
- Livestock movement verification
- Consumer trust in supply chains
Kraal ensures that the information needed to prove compliance is always accessible, accurate, and complete.
Why Traceability Enablement Matters
Traceability is no longer just an administrative requirement—it is a competitive advantage. Farmers who can demonstrate reliable documentation gain easier access to formal markets, export opportunities, and supply chain partnerships.
By integrating structured record-keeping with future-ready compatibility for RMIS submissions, Kraal empowers farmers to run more transparent, trustworthy, and compliant operations. It reduces paperwork, enhances credibility, and helps build stronger, more resilient businesses.
Digital Records That Build Long-Term Confidence
Kraal gives farmers the digital foundation they need for traceability success. While not a standalone traceability system, Kraal enables compliance by capturing and structuring the essential data that national systems rely on. The result is a modern, efficient approach to record-keeping that supports both regulatory requirements and market expectations.
