Seamless Traceability.

Flawless Audits.

Each Time. Every Time.

Within food manufacturing, ensuring that your traceability matches the expectations of auditors, is a major challenge. For food factories that are still reliant on paperwork to keep compliant, the pressure is on to move up to digital QA and bi-directional traceability.

With increasing levels of pressure on food manufacturers to provide flawless audit information within set timeframes, digital traceability reporting is proven to deliver audit traces in seconds, not hours.

The simplest way to be audit ready, for both customer and regulators, is to develop on demand reporting.

With audit management software and dynamic reporting, we’ve built in traceability compliance. More than that, through backwards and forwards traceability, you will have proof to demonstrate that each carcass, raw material type or ingredient used, can be matched to the finished products at the end of the processing line.

Industry-leading shop-floor data capture and reporting, incorporating precise forward and backward traceability:

  • Provides seamless traceability across all areas of the food factory;

  • Digitally tracks and accounts for every raw material and product – from intake, batch, stock, value-added production, packing, through to distribution;

  • Delivers full traceability and mass balance reporting in seconds, or whenever the auditor calls.

  • Supports consignment mixing, throughout all process and packing phases.

''Thanks to the traceability that the system provides, using the featured trace ID and batch code on the finished product label, auditing traces take seconds to complete.''

Develop and Deploy Digital QA Procedures

From simple checks, tests and inspections, to complex procedures, empower your quality management teams to design, test and deploy their own digital food factory procedures.

With our user-friendly application, it’s easy to create quality procedures, forms and workflows that will:

  • Capture photographs, voice recordings, temperature, weight checks and much more.

  • Set mandatory and optional questions, then select the data input methods that best suit your food factory.

  • Define tolerances for each QA question.

  • Automatically raise non-conformances whenever results fall outside of tolerances, such as temperatures and weights ranges, or conditions.

  • Using our own laboratory sampling application, capture batch samples and log lab test results.

  • Trigger external actions to generate SQL procedures. For example, in the case of glass being discovered, automatically hold stock until a full check can be conducted.

  • Whenever changes are applied to procedures and inspection checklists, ensure archive is maintained for audit control.
