Who it is for

  • Food manufacturers preparing for SQF audits

    Built around SQF and HACCP, with Edition 10 templates, audit packets and lot traceability; the founder runs an SQF-certified plant on it.

  • Co-packers

    Keeps each customer's SOPs, audits and records separate inside one platform.

  • Multi-unit restaurant and QSR operators

    Store checklists, incident reports on bad deliveries and a daily rollup across units, mapped to the FDA Food Code.

  • Multi-site food businesses centralising compliance

    A Multi-Facility package adds cross-site dashboards and a dedicated consultant for 2 to 10 sites.

What it does

  • HACCP plans and monitoring

    Living HACCP plans, allergens, food defense and critical control point monitoring.

  • Quality and corrective actions

    CAPAs, complaints and training records that close with evidence.

  • Sanitation and maintenance

    Scheduled digital checklists on tablets with photos, and preventive-maintenance work orders per asset.

  • Environmental monitoring and pest control

    Swab sampling plans by zone, out-of-spec flags that can open a corrective action, and a floor-plan map of pest devices and monitoring sites.

  • Document control

    One signed, current version of each document with electronic signatures.

  • Supply chain and traceability

    Supplier management and lot tracing from receiving to shipment, with one-click recall listed in every package.

  • Production and inventory records

    Batch records on an append-only ledger, with FSMA 204 traceability.

  • Label compliance

    FDA label generation from a recipe and checks for drift from the approved label.

  • Audit packets and Audit Day Mode

    Retailer audit packets and an audit-day view, plus internal audits whose findings open corrective actions.

  • AI compliance assistant

    Drafts SOPs, CAPAs and hazard analysis revisions, cites the SQF element and records each AI action; the vendor says human sign-off is required for lot release and hazard classification.

  • Restaurant and QSR checklists

    Opening, closing and mid-shift time and temperature checks with PIN sign-in, incident reports for bad deliveries and a multi-unit daily rollup.

  • Consulting and training

    SQF certification and audit-prep consulting and IHA-accredited HACCP training, sold alongside the software.
