Buyer proof
Excel works until auditors request batch-linked spray logs, buyers want QR journeys, or a mock recall must finish in 30 minutes. Then disconnected files, version conflicts, and manual reconciliation become export risk.

Questions buyers ask before choosing software
These answers match the language prospects use in Google, ChatGPT, and internal procurement research.
Can we keep Excel for finance and use FarmTrace for traceability?
Yes. Many farms keep accounting in Excel or ERP while using FarmTrace for operational traceability, compliance evidence, and buyer-facing QR records.
What breaks first in spreadsheet traceability?
PHI enforcement, packhouse-to-export reconciliation, and mock recall speed are the most common failure points.
Is FarmTrace harder to adopt than Excel?
Field teams often find mobile harvest and spray entry faster than paper-to-Excel transcription, especially during peak harvest.
