Trusted by food businesses across manufacturing, retail & foodservice
Whether you run one line or a dozen sites, you own the specification, the supplier and the audit trail behind every product that leaves the facility.
An audit that slips can put certification and retailer listings at risk. A late or non-compliant supplier can cost you a launch window. A wrong spec or label can mean a recall. And with every site working from its own paperwork, you only find out when it is already costing you.
One live record across every site and head office: audit evidence ready when it is asked for, supplier status and expiries in view, and one current spec behind every label, with AI pointing to what needs attention first.

No. Foods Connected complements your ERP rather than replacing it. The platform is integration-agnostic, with a proven integration to SAP, so specs, supplier and site data connect to the systems you already run.
Head office manages specifications and supplier records centrally, and each site completes its own checks and actions against them. Results roll up into one view across all sites, so nobody is working from a local copy.
Yes. Checks are designed to be completed on the line, in the moment, rather than back at a desk, and our team helps each site set them up around how the line already runs.
It depends on how many sites and product lines you have and how much existing data you bring across. Our team agrees a rollout plan with you, so you know what happens at each site and when.
Food manufacturers use PLM and compliance software to manage each product, its suppliers and its sites together instead of in separate spreadsheets and systems. Foods Connected provides one shared record for all three, which head office and every site work from.
Audit preparation is mostly about finding evidence. Foods Connected keeps evidence together as it is created, follows each finding to close-out and produces an audit pack when you need it. It is designed around the schemes your sites are audited against, including BRCGS, SALSA, IFS, SQF, FSSC 22000, GFSI, FSMA 204 and retailer codes of practice.
Most commercial risk comes from things that slip unseen: an audit that is not ready, a supplier whose certificate has lapsed, a spec that differs between sites. Foods Connected keeps evidence, supplier status and specifications in one record, flags gaps early and shows head office where risk sits by site, so problems are caught before they affect certification, retailer listings or deliveries.
Concepts, briefs and stage-gates are managed alongside the specification, and recipes, costing and labels are built from the same data. A supplier or ingredient change reaches every team without a spreadsheet chase, so launches are less likely to stall on out-of-date information and you can work to retailer listing windows.
Yes. Teams complete checks where the work happens, and anything missed or failed becomes an action automatically. Because records are made as checks are done, there is far less to pull together before an audit.
Built-in reports show specifications, checks, certificates and audit status by site, with overdue actions and gaps flagged early, so head office sees one live view across every facility. Facility production reports, including profit and loss by site and department, are also available, and you can build your own dashboards in Microsoft Power BI.
