Your name is on every product, whoever makes it.

Own brand or branded, the risk sits with you. Across thousands of lines and suppliers, it only takes one gap to reach the shelf.

Foods Connected connects supplier approval, specifications and compliance across your whole range, so you see risk before it reaches the shelf.

69%

of food businesses say their data is stuck in silos, according to Foods Connected research.

35%

Control across the whole shelf, provable on demand.

  1. Suppliers approved faster

    Onboarding and certificate renewals run on one network where your suppliers keep their own records.

  2. Own-brand specifications right first time

    One specification sits behind every own-brand label, under revision control and linked to supplier data.

  3. Risk visible across the shelf

    Your board sees where risk sits by category, supplier and facility, highest first.

  4. Evidence ready on demand

    Give auditors, regulators and customers current evidence from one place.
