Software Solutions who have been talking to GDST about achieving GDST-Capability

Other companies that have pledged to develop GDST-Capable Solutions

Prior to the release of the GDST Capability Test in late June 2022, many companies that provide traceability products and services signed a pledge publicly committing them to develop GDST-capable products. The following is a list of all of those companies, as well as others who have contacted us subsequently. These companies have NOT YET produced software that has passed the Capability Test, but they have either displayed leadership by recognising the value of GDST to traceability in global seafood supply chains in its early days or have contacted us to understand how to achieve GDST capability and plan to make it part of their future.

If your software solution provider is not shown on this list, please encourage them to speak with us. If they are on the list, please let them know that you think GDST capability is important.

Important Disclaimer: The GDST Capability Test is limited in its application. It verifies the ability of a software product or system to enable GDST compliance. However, it does NOT verify:

1. The level of GDST compliance resulting from use of the software, including by the company that developed it. For example, it does NOT verify that a company implementing the software is actually collecting and delivering GDST-compliant information in a transactional environment; or
2. The capability of the software when implemented by any company other than the developer, such as a client of a solution provider (considering that performance of software may vary when installed and operated in specific operational contexts).

The GDST is working towards developing mechanisms and benchmarks to address these other verification needs in the future. However, if your supply chain has 2 or more GDST-Capable verified systems that are linked then you can use the Completeness Tool to check how many KDEs are visible to you through those stages of your supply chain.
