Food Ready

FoodReady offers software for food safety, quality management, inventory and traceability, delivered alongside consulting services staffed by food safety specialists. The platform centers on a HACCP/PCP plan builder with a drag-and-drop process flow designer and a selectable hazard database, supported by more than 80 HACCP/PCP templates. Additional modules cover operational checklists (drawn from a library covering facility opening and closing, inspection, sanitation and quality procedures or built custom), a batch and inventory database for production runs, bills of materials, purchase orders, receiving and shipping traceability and inventory costs, lot traceability and recall management, automated collection and storage of supplier documentation, and real-time monitoring and verification of critical control points and other operational parameters such as moisture.

A mobile app is used to record daily operational checklists, receiving inventory, production runs, corrective actions and Bluetooth temperature logs, and to track critical control points. The consulting side of the business writes and implements HACCP and food safety plans, reviews real-time records and daily logs for compliance, and helps establish policies, programs, procedures and traceability documentation. Named consulting practices include HACCP, FDA and SQF consulting, oriented toward preparing clients for GFSI, BRC, SQF and retail audits as well as state, USDA and FDA inspections.

Business model

FoodReady sells software subscriptions, including an enterprise tier described by one customer as spanning multiple modules, combined with paid food safety and operations consulting engagements such as HACCP/PCP plan writing, records management review and audit preparation.

Traction

The site states that over a thousand companies use FoodReady software, that clients saved up to 70% of manual effort by moving to digital documentation, and that successful audits led to clients winning significant retail contracts. Customer quotes cite reduced product expenses and avoided hiring of document-monitoring staff.
