HACCP that stays alive between audits.

A template gives you a starting point. HACCP software gives you a living system. A template is a static document that goes stale the moment you save it. In Beacon, your hazard analysis, CCP monitoring, corrective actions, and verification all link together, so when a process step changes, the plan document re-syncs and every linked record the change touches is flagged for review. You get version history, an audit trail, and compliance evidence, not a Word file everyone is afraid to touch.

No, and you should be skeptical of any tool that says it can. Beacon's AI reads your process steps and suggests biological, chemical, and physical hazards from your product category, then drafts a plan to start from. But every CCP determination, every critical limit, and every corrective action procedure is your team's to review and approve. The AI suggests; your HACCP team decides. Each suggestion leaves an evidence record so you can see what the AI proposed and why.

Each line gets its own monitoring schedule with digital forms on tablets and mobile devices, and the system enforces the schedule regardless of which line is running. A real-time dashboard shows monitoring status across every CCP and every line at a glance. When an out-of-range value is recorded, the right people are alerted immediately, not three days later when someone keys in a paper clipboard.

The system alerts designated personnel by in-app notification, email, or SMS, and opens a deviation record on the spot. That record does not close without the cause, the corrective action taken, and the preventive measure documented, and when your team records the product disposition, the affected lots go on hold. The deviation links directly to the CCP, the monitoring record, and any corrective action your team opens against it. The record does not close without verification.

Beacon tracks reassessment schedules and triggers a review workflow when one comes due. During reassessment, the system shows the current plan alongside the process changes, deviations, and corrective actions since the last review, so your team has full context. Every reassessment decision is documented with its justification, which is the audit trail that shows your plan is actively maintained, not just signed off once a year.

Both. The plan structure carries Codex-style HACCP for FDA-regulated foods, HARPC preventive controls under 21 CFR 117, USDA FSIS HACCP for meat and poultry, and juice and seafood HACCP under 21 CFR 120 and 123. Your hazard analysis and monitoring work the same way; the templates and record formats follow the scheme you answer to. If you run restaurants or food service rather than a plant, the restaurant platform is built for that day instead.

Yes. That is the Digitize path: we move your current plan onto the platform, structure the hazard analysis and CCPs into the living system, link the monitoring and verification schedules, and train your team. The content of your plan survives; what changes is that it stops being a static file and starts being enforced.

Yes. Beacon's HACCP templates and workflows already reflect the Edition 10 requirements, including updated food safety plan templates, verification record formats, and management review workflows. SQFI expects Edition 10 audits to begin January 2, 2027, so you can plan now and ship in time. For more, explore our SQF compliance software or our food safety features.
