2019 was an eventful year for food safety, a dynamic year for SafetyChain, and a year of growth for our valued customers.

Albertsons is transforming operations by using modern Cloud-based QMS software, SafetyChain. In this article, we'll share with you why Albertsons decided to eliminate their paper-intensive processes and turn files and forms into real business intelligence that supports compliance efforts, 24/7 audit-readiness, transparency, and drives continuous improvement.

Real-time data empowers food manufacturers and processors to make smarter, faster decisions. Through food quality management systems, food and beverage companies gain visibility into all of their operations for a comprehensive overview of what’s going on at any given minute. This makes it easier to spot and respond to red flags before they become major issues, uncover and address performance issues, and reduce costs with the help of automation.

SafetyChain Software, the leading provider of food quality management software, is pleased to announce the launch of its new website in coordination with completely new corporate branding and product packages.

We are delighted to share the news that SafetyChain customer Sokol and Company has been awarded SQFI Practitioner of the Year by the Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI).

SafetyChain is a proud sponsor of Food Safety Matters, a podcast for food safety professionals hosted by Food Safety Magazine. Each episode features a conversation with a food safety professional sharing their experiences and insights of the important job of safeguarding the world’s food supply.
