Ensuring Closed Loop Compliance to Safety, Quality and Audit Standards in the Food & Beverage Industry

FDA and the USDA mandates such as HACCP procedures and ISO 22000 based food safety management systems are the basis for many quality and compliance programs in the food and beverage industry. Record levels of complaints and the growing realization that efficient safety, quality and compliance management can positively benefit business are driving Food safety, quality and audit management to the top of many organizations' agenda. Failing to deal effectively with the safety and quality standards proves detrimental not only from a regulatory standpoint but also in terms of avoidable litigation and tarnished brand image.

To stay as a preferred brand, companies need a solution which integrates their food safety initiatives through adequate audits and triggers corrective action in case of any customer complaints - a process of automatic mapping of deviations and violations back to a specific list of food safety issues.
