AssurX Food Safety Quality Management Software System (QMS): Enabling Compliance in a Stringent Regulatory Landscape
The food and beverage (F&B) industry is one of the world’s largest marketplaces. Challenges in the sector include always-changing consumer demands, food safety, supply chain efficiency, and increasing regulations. As a result, end-to-end traceability has become a pivotal challenge in the industry.
The FDA and consumers expect F&B companies to be fully transparent and provide fast, accurate and substantive proof that foods products are safe and represented correctly. Therefore, paper-based processes and legacy quality systems are simply outmoded in such a fast-paced market.
The AssurX food safety and quality management system is a robust solution for a rigorous regulatory landscape. AssurX helps manage traceability with QMS software that utilizes integrated workflows and intelligent data to measure, manage and improve quality while accelerating compliance.
AssurX’s enterprise quality management system (EQMS) for the food industry addresses some of the most stringent regulations and quality standards today, including:
which requires implementing a food safety plan using Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles
“We use AssurX to log quality incidents related to vendors, co-packers, plants and distributors. We’re also logging issues related to health, safety and environmental incidents at our plants.”
AssurX Food and Beverage Quality Management System:
Harmonizing Quality and Compliance in one Platform
Stricter regulations such as the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) have placed a greater emphasis on controlling quality at every stage of the manufacturing and distribution process using risk management principles. This is a significant upheaval in an industry that has traditionally focused on immediate needs as opposed to risk-based process improvement.

Business Benefits of Using the AssurX Quality Management System (QMS)
The food and beverage supply chain faces a wide array of risks, from packaging errors to exposure to contaminants. The AssurX quality management platform provides a compliance framework for mitigating risks and tools for ensuring continuous quality improvement.
You’ll realize the following benefits:
All quality processes are connected in the AssurX quality management platform. Coordination with business units, management, teams, and suppliers within the system creates a organization-wide approach to achieving quality.
Create a structured process for supplier quality management to respond to any disruptions quickly. AssurX provides the ability to visualize supplier performance metrics, respond to issues faster, and perform supplier audits when necessary. Integrate with document management and training management to further enforce your compliance guidelines.
Maintaining proactive vigilance inevitably reduces your compliance costs. Processes are controlled and flexible to implement risk-based approach to quality, which can identity, track, and often prevent quality issues that could potentially endanger the public and lead to recalls. Automated complaint management can escalate serious issues and trigger CAPAs and investigation, eliminating process gaps that often result in increased costs to control.
