SafetyChain is a digital plant management platform for food and beverage manufacturers, used in more than 2,500 facilities. It replaces paper logs, spreadsheets and disconnected point tools with one connected system for your food safety programs, in-process quality, regulatory and customer compliance, production monitoring, SPC and supplier compliance. Your QA and production teams work from the same data, so you catch deviations on the line instead of in next week's review.

Food and beverage manufacturers, from single-plant producers to multi-site enterprises. Customers include meat and poultry, dairy, baking, produce, bottling, coffee and tea, confectionery, CPG, packaging, and co-manufacturing operations.  With SafetyChain LiveOps, farms, growers and breeders use it too. Your FSQA team is usually the first to use it. Production, plant management, maintenance and corporate leadership join on the same platform.

SafetyChain is built for food and beverage plants, with SQF, BRCGS, FSSC 22000, HACCP and FSMA programs supported. Paper and spreadsheets record what happened. SafetyChain flags a failed check the moment you enter it and launches the corrective action from the same record. A generic QMS covers documents and CAPAs but not your plant floor. SafetyChain connects your quality checks to production data such as weights, temperatures and line status, so one system covers both.

SafetyChain is software as a service, typically sold as an annual subscription per facility. Pricing depends on the modules you choose, so you can start with one area or one plant, then add modules and sites on the same platform as you grow.

There's no user-based pricing, so you never pay more to add users. You also don't pay extra for imported documents (SOPs, process documents or program documents), data storage, mobile devices, reporting and visualization, or ongoing support.

Customers can reach 5x ROI. Lincoln Premium Poultry cut yield loss from 24% to 6%, saving $230,000 a month in lost revenue. Death Wish Coffee cut waste from 500 to 120 bag prints a day, a 76% drop.

Yes. SQF, BRCGS, FSSC 22000 and other GFSI-benchmarked auditors, along with FDA and USDA inspectors, accept electronic records when they're complete, secure and easy to retrieve. SafetyChain digitizes the programs auditors review, including pre-op and master sanitation, GMP, HACCP monitoring, facility audits, receiving inspections and CAPA. Every record is timestamped, signed and searchable, so you can pull up any check, corrective action or document in seconds instead of flipping through binders.

At Joyce Farms, QA Manager Jennifer Hamby reported: "The auditor said this was the smoothest and easiest audit he has ever conducted."

SafetyChain supports 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. It runs as a closed system with role-based permissions, unique user credentials, authorization controls and electronic signatures linked to each record.

Every record submission and change gets a permanent, system-generated timestamp. When someone edits a record, SafetyChain keeps the before and after values, so you can show an auditor the full history of any record.

Part 11 compliance also depends on your own procedures and validation. Our team configures the system with you during implementation and shares the practices that keep you compliant.

SafetyChain verifies a record when it's captured, not at the end of a shift. The task scheduler automates, manages and tracks the time-based controls your CCP data entry depends on. You can require entries in a set format and stage-gate them so your process happens in the right sequence. Any reading outside a critical limit is flagged immediately and can start a corrective action on the spot.

Critical checks can require a second sign-off, or a witness who verifies with their own PIN, which locks the record to that person. Every entry ties to an individual user, and any later change is permanently logged with the before and after values.

With the SafetyChain Module for Ignition™, temperatures and weights can come straight from your equipment, so nobody has to type them in.

Every check, sign-off and corrective action is stored digitally against its record. You can filter and export audit evidence by program, date or line in minutes. Your team still runs the programs, and SafetyChain keeps the evidence together as they go, so audit week doesn't mean rebuilding it. You can also give an auditor a custom view that shows only the data you choose to share. At Joyce Farms, audit prep used to take days. The case study reports SafetyChain reduced that prep time by 100%. See how SafetyChain keeps you audit-ready.

FSMA 204 requires manufacturers handling foods on the FDA's Food Traceability List to keep traceability records and hand them to the FDA within 24 hours of a request. The compliance date is July 20, 2028. SafetyChain helps from the supplier side. Customers using SafetyChain Supplier Compliance with the Quality and Operations modules, or LiveOps on the farm, can trace product from their own operation to the customer they deliver to.

When a check fails or a reading goes out of range, SafetyChain alerts the right supervisor immediately, so nothing waits for end-of-shift review. Automated tasks, notifications and workflows route the alert to the right person.

From the failed record, you can launch a CAPA with a single +CAPA button. The CAPA stays linked to that record and moves through your own configurable steps for tasks, approvals and closure, so you have a complete chain of evidence for your auditors.

Very. Your operators get a simplified view of SafetyChain's Enhanced Operational SPC Charts: sample averages against spec limits, fewer secondary visuals and a plot window that shows just recent data. Your supervisors, quality staff and continuous improvement team see the full SPC chart. Both views use the same underlying data, so nobody on the floor gets an overwhelming chart.

All of them. Your operators use the SafetyChain app on iOS or Android tablets and smartphones, or on Windows workstations, laptops and rugged mobile devices. You can mix devices to fit each area of your plant, so you can keep using the hardware you already have.

Yes. The mobile app has offline data capture built in, so your operators can keep collecting data where Wi-Fi is weak or missing. The data syncs automatically when the device reconnects.

Yes. Your suppliers upload certificates and documents through a secure, self-service portal, and SafetyChain tracks expiration dates, approvals and requirements for each supplier and item. Scorecards and risk assessments show you which suppliers are falling out of compliance before it becomes an audit finding. Learn more about SafetyChain's Supplier Compliance.

Yes. SafetyChain AI is part of the platform's Decision Intelligence capabilities. It surfaces your quality, production and supplier data so your team can make faster decisions.

SafetyChain connects to the systems you already run:

Yes. Each user picks their own language: English, Spanish (US), Spanish (Spain), French, German or Chinese. Menus, buttons and navigation switch to that language, on the plant floor and at the desk.

The forms, checks and instructions your team writes appear in the language you wrote them in. You can write them in more than one language so every operator can follow them.

SafetyChain completed a SOC 2 Type 2 audit, conducted by Sensiba LLP, covering May through October 2025 (read the announcement). The platform runs on Microsoft Azure with encrypted data, role-based permissions and private cloud tenancy, so your data is never co-mingled with another customer's. A DevOps team monitors the platform around the clock, and built-in redundancy covers hardware failures. You can request the SOC 2 report through the SafetyChain Trust Center.

You own your data. You can export records at any time through standard reports, the Record Data Extract API and the Power BI Connector, and send them to your own data warehouse or BI tool.

Most single-facility customers go live in 8 to 12 weeks. Rollout is phased and starts with your highest-value areas, so forms and processes go live as you build them instead of in one cutover at the end. If you run more than one site, each plant gets forms built for how it runs.

Onboarding starts with an onsite kickoff, backed by a project manager and an implementation team. There's a one-time setup fee based on the number of facilities and the package you choose. Death Wish Coffee built its forms in a few weeks and went completely paperless within a month.

Very little. Forms, workflows and reports are no-code, so your quality and operations teams configure them without developers, and SafetyChain's implementation team handles setup. IT typically joins for device rollout, single sign-on and any ERP, WMS or SCADA integrations.

Yes. Support is included in your subscription. Live support runs Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 7 PM CT.
