Traceo

Traceo is a food-safety workflow and record-keeping app for restaurants, bakeries, caterers, and other food businesses. It is best for teams that want delivery checks, traceability, cleaning, labels, and temperature records in one system. Its free tier is a useful starting point for one small establishment, but the 50-record monthly ceiling makes paid plans the practical route for higher-volume teams.

Overview

Traceo combines several recurring HACCP tasks, from receiving goods to exporting records. That breadth can help a team keep its daily checks in one workflow rather than splitting them across separate tools. It supports configured record keeping, not guaranteed compliance; each business remains responsible for its own procedures and requirements.

Its privacy policy describes HTTPS/TLS, encryption at rest, JWT authentication, role-based access controls, and regular backups. Traceo names Cloudflare for hosting and Scaleway for storage, says personal data is not sold, and describes processor obligations under GDPR. These are relevant safeguards for a system holding operational records, though businesses still need to assess their own data-handling needs.

Key features

Delivery and traceability

Delivery checks can record suppliers, temperatures, product condition, documents, photos, and the delivery decision. For traceability, the app proposes product, batch, and date fields from label photos. Staff review and correct those fields before saving, which keeps a person in the loop but does not remove the need to verify the extracted data.

Temperature, cleaning, and labels

Teams can use connected sensors for temperature readings and configurable alerts, or enter readings manually. That combination suits businesses that want monitoring alongside routine manual checks; the temperature pack is a standalone option with a gateway, connectivity, app and web access, and additional sensors available.

Cleaning plans can assign tasks by zone, include instructions and products, and retain timestamped completion records with photos. Quick Print creates labels from existing product or traceability records and sends configured fields to a thermal printer. These workflows make Traceo more than a temperature log, though the usefulness of the system still depends on configuring it around the business’s own procedures.

Pricing

Traceo is freemium, with no free trial. The free plan, Traceo Free, costs nothing and covers one establishment with up to 50 HACCP records per month. That cap makes it suitable for a small operation evaluating a shared record system, but not a natural fit for teams whose routine checks regularly exceed the allowance.

Traceo Plus has custom pricing, billed per establishment. It provides unlimited HACCP records, whole-team access, inspection-ready reports, and remote training and support. This is the relevant option for businesses that outgrow the free record limit or need support bringing a team onto the system; pricing per establishment means readers should confirm the quote for their location count.

The Traceo temperature pack also has custom pricing. It is for standalone temperature monitoring and includes a gateway, connectivity, and app/web access, with additional sensors available. It is a narrower choice than Traceo Plus for businesses seeking temperature monitoring without the broader unlimited-record package.

Platforms

Traceo is available on Android, iOS, and the web. It supports offline mobile access, which can help staff record checks when connectivity is unavailable. Multi-location support is available, although the free plan is limited to one establishment.

Who it's for

Traceo fits food-service teams that want to centralize receiving, traceability, temperatures, cleaning tasks, and label creation, especially when both manual readings and connected sensors matter. Bakeries and caterers are among the intended users, as are restaurants and other food businesses. A business with more than one location or a high volume of monthly HACCP records should look beyond the free tier and assess the per-establishment paid quote.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Delivery checks capture supplier, product-condition, temperature, document, photo, and decision records in one workflow.
• Pro: Sensor alerts and manual temperature entry support both connected monitoring and staff-recorded readings.
• Pro: Cleaning completion evidence and labels can be tied to defined tasks and existing product or traceability records.
• Con: The free plan stops at 50 HACCP records a month, limiting its usefulness for busier establishments.
• Con: Paid plans use custom pricing, so teams cannot compare their total cost without requesting a quote.
• Con: Photo-derived traceability fields require staff review and correction before saving.
• Con: Traceo does not guarantee HACCP compliance, leaving each business accountable for its own procedures and requirements.

Verdict

Choose Traceo if your food business wants delivery checks, traceability, temperature records, cleaning, and labels in a shared system, with a free one-establishment tier for modest record volumes. Its breadth and mix of sensor and manual monitoring are the strongest reasons to choose it. Look elsewhere if the 50-record free cap is too restrictive or you need a published paid price before committing.
