Food Safety Audits in Global Supply Chain
Certification bodies auditing in global supply chains face a unique set of pressures: clients that require multi-standard audits, scheme owners that update requirements, and operations that span dozens of facilities worldwide. Without a flexible and scalable system, keeping up with these demands can overwhelm even experienced CBs.
Adapting quickly to new standards and scopes
For food safety CBs, a big challenge is keeping pace as standards evolve and scopes expand. Versions change, new clauses appear, and scheme owners expand scopes. Each change requires CBs to adjust quickly without slowing down their clients.
The Intact Platform provides the flexibility to map standards into a unified framework. This means CBs can onboard new or revised requirements rapidly, whether that’s implementing FSSC 22000 v6, adapting to IFS Food v8, or responding to new program demands. Instead of lengthy custom development, CBs can configure, scale, and move forward while keeping their focus on delivering reliable results.
Managing multi-standard and multi-site audits at scale
CBs in food safety rarely work with a single standard or site. They may need BRCGS, IFS Food, and GLOBALG.A.P. certifications applied across dozens of facilities, often in different regions. Traditionally, this meant duplicated work, inconsistent records, and mounting auditor frustration.
The Intact Platform simplifies this by enabling CBs to manage multi-standard and multi-site audits within a unified system. This eliminates redundancies, ensures consistent results, and provides a global view of audit performance. For auditors, it reduces administrative effort and frees them to focus on assessing compliance. For CBs, it means fewer errors, faster turnaround times, and the ability to scale their services confidently across global supply chains.
Scaling audits without losing focus
As food companies expand, CBs often face sudden increases in certification demand, covering new sites, expanded scopes, or entry into new markets. That means handling more audits under tighter timelines while still delivering consistent, credible results worldwide.
The Intact Platform was built to support this kind of growth. Centralized processes and mobile/offline capabilities allow CBs to increase audit volumes without increasing administrative burden. Whether scaling to serve new clients or expanding with existing ones, CBs can grow capacity while keeping the focus where it belongs: on the quality of the audits themselves.
Why flexibility and scalability matter
Flexibility and scalability form the foundation of credible food safety audits in global supply chains. With the right system in place, CBs can adapt to constant scheme changes, manage complex multi-standard audits, and expand their reach without creating bottlenecks.
The Intact Platform solves these challenges by giving CBs a system built for change and growth. It allows them to adapt quickly when standards evolve, manage complex global audits consistently, and expand capacity without adding complexity. With this foundation, certification bodies can deliver reliable food safety audits across global supply chains to ensure consistency, credibility, and trust no matter where their clients operate.
