QTRACA

QTRACA’s cloud-based food safety and inventory software empowers food manufacturers to handle quality assurance, traceability, and food safety from one platform.

Its approach, embodied in its mission statement, ‘don’t just buy a part of the system, get the complete picture with QTRACA,’ enables manufacturers to handle the daily tasks of the compliance process and inventory management under one umbrella to better manage safety, quality, and risk management operations.

The platform easily integrates into the specialized processes manufacturers have in place. They can simply bring their own device (BYOD), connect all business process data, from production to market distribution, and leave the rest to QTRACA.

Production records, maintenance records, GMP checklists, and internal audits can all be digitalized for real-time tracking and reviewing. Manufacturers no longer have to circle a thousand documents to analyze an issue. With a quick scan, they can get all the data on the problem at their fingertip, paving the way for preemptively solving problems and improving efficiency.

QTRACA inventory module allows for full traceability of products from supplier ingredients to finished goods. It quickly identifies the production batches that have consumed specific supplier ingredients and also traces their distribution. It facilitates manufacturers to effectively manage recipes by substituting required ingredients for the batch, specifying ingredients with allergens, and recognizing when new ingredients are entering a production batch.

What makes QTRACA’s platform stand out is it allows manufacturers to check the temperature of the goods by integrating data from IoT sensors into the cloud platform. They can also set up recording intervals to keep track of the temperature and get notified by email or SMS when limits are exceeded.

Managing customer complaints can be hectic, but QTRACA has made this facet hassle-free with its integrated complaints module. Manufacturers can evaluate complaints anytime, anywhere, identify non-conformance, and mitigate them via corrective and preventative actions.

Increasing staff training in food safety and operating procedures is becoming paramount, and QTRACA’s training module thrives in this regard. It enables manufacturers to conduct training quizzes and review the scores against individual questions. This helps link the staff with the standard operating procedures and makes them job-ready.

“Simplicity is at the heart of our offering, which makes our solution easy for use, even for small and medium-sized businesses,” says Mike Cook, founder of QTRACA.

According to Cook, implementing new technology is always challenging for many food manufacturing companies, but QTRACA has successfully paved the way for small and big manufacturing companies to digitalize their business data.

A case in point is how QTRACA helped a manufacturing company roll out a smooth digital transformation. The client, who once relied on only a paper-based system for tracking manufacturing data—leading to errors—now has complete traceability of its inventory and production batches, thanks to QTRACA. They can manage production and ensure safety all at once.

This is but one of the success stories demonstrating how simple and affordable it can be to switch to a paperless environment today, and QTRACA is determined to script more down the line.

In a time when a strong food safety culture is a paramount feature of a successful food brand, QTRACA is delivering on its promise of never skipping an eye on non-conformity in the food safety and quality assurance process.
