SafetyChain Software’s Mobile Food Safety and Quality App Eliminates Paper and Reporting Lag Time from FSQA Processes While Photo-Documenting Corrective/Preventive Actions
SafetyChain Software, leaders in Food Safety Chain Management Systems (FSCMS) that Automate, Streamline & Improve Food Safety and Quality Assurance (FSQA)™, helps eliminate manual FSQA data entry “at the source” with SafetyChain Mobile – a true mobile FSQA application that operates on smart phones and tablets. SafetyChain Mobile provides functionality across SafetyChain’s dedicated platform for automating food safety and quality along the entire supply chain – including solutions for Supplier Compliance/Vendor Approval Programs; Food Safety & Quality Management, including HACCP / HARPC and Customer Specification Management; and Regulatory / GFSI Program Management and Audit On-Demand.
Capture Food Safety and Quality Data Where it Originates – Including the Field, Plant Floor, Receiving Dock, Distribution Center and Store Shelves
Commented Barbara Levin, SafetyChain SVP and co-founder, “Waiting for food safety and quality data to be manually entered and then submitted for review causes lag time, stalls corrective actions and increases the volume of rework or rejections. SafetyChain Mobile helps companies capture food safety and quality data at the point where it originates. Through realtime analysis, food safety and quality managers get the FSQA data they need at the earliest possible point for timely generation and documentation of CAPAs – speeding product throughput and creating bottom-line ROI.”
Levin continued, “SafetyChain Mobile was designed from the ground up to be a true mobile food safety application – bringing the ease of the apps we use every day in our daily lives – such as mobile banking or shopping apps – to food safety and quality teams. Because food safety and quality folks aren’t sitting at their desks all day – they’re in the field, on the plant floor, visiting suppliers or customers, for example – this tool allows them to leverage the advantages of FSQA automation from anywhere, at anytime.”
