A Final Mile Data Link is designed for organizations at the “Final Mile” of the supply chain, such as Food Retailers (grocery stores or convenience stores) and Restaurants. A Final Mile Data Link enables you to receive shipping KDEs from your suppliers and create receiving events to be in compliance with FSMA 204. It will also enable you to generate electronic sortable spreadsheets.
