SafetyChain Software Offers New Whitepaper 'GFSI Programs - Don't Hesitate to Automate' [Health & Beauty Close - Up](Health & Beauty Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SafetyChain Software said that it has published a new whitepaper: GFSI Programs - Don't Hesitate to Automate: Leveraging Technology to Manage a Robust GFSI Program and Be Audit-Ready On Demand. In its release, SafetyChain said that the paper is offered as a complimentary download to interested food safety and quality professionals who's food and beverage companies are certified in, or planning to become certified in, a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) scheme, such as SQF, BRC, FSSC 22000, IFS, PRIMUS GFS, Global Gap, CANADA Gap and other recognized, benchmarked schemes. Barbara Levin, SafetyChain Software SVP and Co-Founder, and author of the paper, said, "GFSI has become the absolute global standard for ensuring food safety along the supply chain. In fact, a recent study by IFSQN showed that 65 percent of food companies are already certified in a GFSI scheme, while 25 percent are in the process of becoming certified and 5 percent need to start the process." Continues Levin, "But for already resource-strained food safety and quality departments, managing GFSI programs can present challenges. Additionally, many of the schemes are looking toward unannounced audits -- this has already been announced by SQF -- which is a necessary move to ensure food safety, but can add to what many FSQA folks refer to as 'audit fatigue.' Leveraging food safety technology innovations can help companies automate a very robust GFSI program, be audit ready all the time and not drain FSQA resources." Levin added, "If you're already GFSI certified -- this paper will provide insight on how to automate, streamline & improve your program. And if you're in or considering the certification process, you'll learn how technology can help you deploy and manage a robust program from Day 1."
