Piggly Wiggly Alabama Distributing Co. joins ReposiTrak Traceability Network

ReposiTrak, the leader in retail supply chain, compliance, and traceability solutions, today announced that Piggly Wiggly Alabama Distributing Company has joined the ReposiTrak Traceability Network® to support traceability across all food categories. Piggly Wiggly Alabama Distributing Company is a cooperative serving independent grocers across the Southeast, providing buying power, distribution, product selection, retail services and operational support to help its retailers compete and grow.

The company selected ReposiTrak to support traceability beyond products included on the FDA Food Traceability List, reflecting a broader view that traceability is becoming both a compliance requirement and a competitive advantage. By taking an all-food approach, Piggly Wiggly Alabama Distributing Company is positioning its retailers for stronger supply chain visibility, faster recall response and greater confidence in the products moving through their network.

“Independent grocers need modern traceability capabilities that do not slow down operations or add unnecessary complexity,” said Randy Fields, chairman and CEO of ReposiTrak. “ReposiTrak’s Touchless Traceability gives wholesalers like Piggly Wiggly Alabama Distributing Company a practical way to deliver lot code-level traceability across food categories without requiring case scanning at receiving, put away, picking or store shipment.”

ReposiTrak’s Touchless Traceability captures supplier-provided traceability data, validates it, detects and corrects many common data errors, and links it to existing distribution center and retail operating data to create required traceability records. The ReposiTrak Traceability Network helps retailers, wholesalers, distributors and suppliers exchange and manage the Key Data Elements required under FSMA 204 while also supporting broader goals such as recall readiness, supplier accountability, data quality and consumer protection.

“Our decision to partner with ReposiTrak utilizing Touchless Traceability across all food categories was driven by both compliance readiness and customer value,” said Tod Seiling, Chief Merchandising Officer of Piggly Wiggly Alabama Distributing Company. “Independent retailers need practical solutions that strengthen transparency and recall readiness without slowing down their operations, and we believe this approach positions both Piggly Wiggly and our retailers for the future.”
