Egy Wherefour alternatíva
Európában készült, európai gyártók számára.

Wherefour is a capable, food-focused traceability platform, genuinely closer in concept to what Keystone does than either MRPeasy or a general ERP. The honest differences are geography, compliance framing and pricing model. Wherefour is a US-first product, FSMA-oriented (FDA), hosted in US data centres, priced in USD, and its retailer templates target Whole Foods / US grocery. For UK and Irish food producers, that translates to a product that solves 80% of your needs but requires custom configuration for FSAI, BRCGS §3.9, SFPA, EU food safety regulations evidence, and the specific retailer formats you actually ship into (Tesco, SuperValu, Musgrave, M&S, Aldi, Lidl). Keystone is EU-hosted (AWS Ireland), GDPR-native, priced in EUR, and built with a working Irish creamery as founding partner.

AWS Ireland (eu-west-1, Dublin), data never leaves the EU
FSAI + SFPA + BRCGS aligned out of the box
Ír és brit kiskereskedői sablonok: Tesco, SuperValu, Musgrave, M&S, Aldi, Lidl, Ocado
GDPR-alapú (adatvédelmi tisztviselő kijelölve, DPIA-kész, az érintetti hozzáférés eszközei beépítve)

A földrajzi elhelyezkedés kérdése

Miért számít ma többet az „EU-ban üzemeltetett, GDPR-alapú” megoldás.

For a UK or Irish food producer supplying UK/EU retailers, data residency and GDPR handling are increasingly on retailer audit checklists, not just legal to-dos. A US-hosted platform creates paperwork you don't need: Standard Contractual Clauses, Data Transfer Impact Assessments, a legal-review conversation every time you sign a new retailer. Keystone runs entirely in AWS Ireland (Dublin), operates under Irish law, has a named Data Protection Lead, and has zero data-transfer surface. That's not a marketing bullet, it's a friction-remover in the retailer onboarding conversation.

Megfelelőségi keretezésbeli különbségek

FSMA vs FSAI / BRCGS.

A Wherefour elsősorban FSMA-központú

The traceability model, audit log structure and reporting are shaped around FDA's Food Safety Modernization Act. Excellent for US producers, a slight-but-real translation cost for EU/UK producers.

A Keystone elsősorban FSAI + BRCGS‑központú

Everything from the audit log format to the mass-balance test to the mock-recall drill is designed against BRCGS traceability standards, §3.11, §4.7 and §5.4, and against Ireland's FSAI + SFPA inspection playbook.

Kiskereskedői sablonok

A Wherefour amerikai kiskereskedői sablonokat kínál (Whole Foods, KeHE, UNFI). A Keystone brit/ír kiskereskedői sablonokat kínál (Tesco Ireland, Tesco UK, SuperValu, Musgrave, M&S, Aldi, Lidl, Ocado, Dunnes).

Nyelv és árképzés

A Wherefour az árakat USD-ben tünteti fel ($/user/mo); a brit/ír vásárló viszont EUR/GBP-ben gondolkodik. A Keystone ára fix €790/month, az árazási oldalon közzétéve.

Mikor a Wherefour a megfelelő választás

Ha elsősorban az USA piacára értékesít.

If your customer base is majority US, Whole Foods, KeHE, UNFI, US foodservice, Wherefour has the retailer templates, the FDA-framing and the domestic support team you'll benefit from. This alternative is specifically for producers whose customer list is dominated by UK and Irish retailers: Tesco, SuperValu, Musgrave, M&S, Aldi, Lidl, Ocado, Dunnes, Centra, SPAR. If that describes you, an EU-hosted product with UK/Irish retailer templates and BRCGS §3.9-aligned audit-log design is going to fit better and be cheaper.
