Food Safety Software for Growers, Suppliers, and Processors

Many companies across the supply chain want to demonstrate their reputation for food safety but lack the tools and real-time data to proactively manage it. Paper logs and simple spreadsheets can’t provide the same level of data accessibility and trend analysis as digital solutions. When you have the right documents at your fingertips and can access them from a digital device, you can respond more effectively to food safety events.

Gain the real-time visibility you need with food safety management software.

iFoodDS has developed Food Safety Manager for the Field to serve the needs of growers and FSQA Manager for Facilities to serve the needs of suppliers and processors. These digital solutions help your employees log data right from the field or facility. Securely store vital records, including corrective actions and test results, on our cloud-based platforms.

“We had a paper-based food safety program in place, but as the Food Safety Representative for J&J, I wasn’t assured until I got my boots on the ground at all our different locations and really understood what was taking place. That prompted me to start looking at an electronic system to manage our food safety program, which led us to iFoodDS. That next step [in food safety] is definitely going electronic. We were ahead of the curve when we did this [implemented the iFoodDS Food Safety solution], but we have definitely seen benefits from going electronic when it comes to record keeping, auditing processes, and truly managing our food safety program.”
