SafetyChain is the leading product safety software solution developed to keep food, beverage, and CPG manufacturers in compliance with regulatory requirements and technical standards. Replace paper processes with digital forms and balance complex regulatory and commercial requirements to be audit-ready, 24-7.

FSMA

The 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) brought major changes to food safety laws in the U.S. The sweeping reform has placed enormous pressure on F&B companies to implement and maintain food safety programs that comply with rapidly changing regulations.

With features like program compliance dashboards, a suite of supplier-focused tools including tasks, notifications, and risk assessments, and real-time risk monitoring, SafetyChain simplifies compliance with FSMA’s core components. Food safety managers can easily navigate our cloud-based system to manage a robust food safety plan that includes hazard analysis, preventive controls, monitoring, corrective actions, and more.

SQF

As a GFSI-recognized scheme, the Safe Quality Food (SQF) Institute’s certification is a robust food safety program. Recognized by brands across the world, it’s the most popular scheme in North America. SQF is also the only scheme that integrates a quality component, which can be paired with any other GFSI-recognized program.

SQF is available to the entire supply chain, including manufacturers, primary production plants, manufacturers of food packaging, storage and distribution, and food retailers. SafetyChain helps all of these organizations maintain their SQF certification with:

HACCP

Identifying, analyzing, and controlling biological, chemical, and physical hazards require full, ongoing visibility into every level of your plant’s operations — plus a meticulous overview of your supplier programs. While the basic principles of HACCP may be the same across the food industry, each plant takes its own unique approach.

SafetyChain’s superior software architecture is highly configurable to ensure a flawless fit with your facility’s processes, equipment, and routine. Facility audits, user-friendly supplier portals, and scorecarding, and other intuitive features make food safety risk mitigation and enterprise-wide traceability simpler and more effective than ever.

GFSI

Maintaining certification to a GFSI-benchmarked standard is critical to satisfying customer requirements and promoting plant-wide safety. Each code has extensive requirements, and consistent compliance demands rigorous attention to detail.

Compliance Manager from SafetyChain allows you to automate your GFSI compliance efforts with an integrated library of program codes that link to your mobile forms, enabling real-time reporting, record sign off, and automated revision logs. Managers become better equipped to prepare for and undergo audits with the on-demand audit feature. All of the data needed for an inspection is conveniently accessible through a single repository.

Whether you’re SQF, BRCGS, or FSSC22000 certified, our platform takes the complexity out of compliance with the ability to capture data directly from the plant floor and deliver it to your fingertips. The system also supports additional GFSI schemes, including Global Gap, IFS, PrimusGFS, GSE, and IFS.

ISO Standards

ISO certification helps manufacturing companies make consistent, safe products and manage processes efficiently while minimizing failures.

There are several families of ISO standards, including quality management standards, health and safety standards, and standards exclusively for food safety. No matter which apply to your company, SafetyChain can help you manage your ISO program.

Plant management software will help you meet the demands of ISO compliance. For instance, ISO 10377:2013, Consumer product safety — Guidelines for suppliers emphasizes traceability to minimize supply chain risks. The standard calls for a strong document retention program – a challenge for paper-based systems, and is available with the Quality Manager solution.

Beyond traceability, the system will simplify tasks related to ISO compliance. Mobile forms and automated data capture ensure all of your program data is uploaded so it can be accessed, analyzed, and shared. The most common ISO standards used in plant management are:
