SafetyChain

Food Quality Management, Elevated

Comments: SafetyChain has allowed our company to elevate our in-house quality systems. We can focus our attention on continuous improvement and growing the business rather than reviewing paper records and manually transcribing data for statistical purposes.

Pros:

The easy-to-use software is well designed and allowed our company to transition from paper-driven process to electronic document and record management. The software is configurable to operational needs and is intuitive for users at all organizational levels.

Cons:

I haven't had any notable issues with the software or support to date. Any questions or concerns have been handled quickly and fully.

Safety Chain was our missing link

Comments: We have been able to start keeping track of issues we did not necessarily realize we had. We can now accurately track waste from production, and eliminate the guesswork that comes along with paper records. We have been able to allocate more time to issues that need attention.

Pros:

The back end system was very easy to learn. Working with our project manager and support team, I was able to build all of our forms and get our team ready for training in just a few weeks. I was able to create the forms nearly identical to the paper forms we were already using.

Cons:

The task scheduler was a little tricky and frustrating at first. Once I became comfortable with it, I was able to schedule sanitation, maintenance, and GMP checks for the rest of the year. Now our team has them available fresh every day.

Alternatives Considered: Intertek Alchemy and Safefood 360°

Reasons for Switching to SafetyChain: I felt that SafetyChain offered a more in depth platform, and hit on more points of our record keeping procedures.

As per my experience with SafetyChain, it meets all our requirements in quality assurance side.
