HACCP Control Point Features

Are you looking for a simple solution to organize your HACCP program and documentation? Have your manual paper based systems become unmanageable, time consuming and expensive?

HACCP Control Point offers an easy to use web based software solution like no other currently offered in the food safety industry. HACCP Control Point has been designed by food industry experts specifically to address the needs of companies that are required to manage their HACCP program and maintain their HACCP certification.

HACCP System Plans

• Prerequisites
• Procedures
• Deviations
• Verifications

Your HACCP Plans are entered into the HACCP Control Point system along with all Prerequisites, Procedures, Deviations and Verifications. Once your HACCP Plan information is entered into the system, workers will be prompted automatically to fill out required forms or enter required information at the appropriate time in accordance to your HACCP Plans.

HACCP System Data Capturing

• Electronic Forms
• Checklists
• Logs
• Files

The forms that you are currently using can be used within HACCP Control Point after being converted to the proper format. Microsoft Word forms can very easily be converted and loaded into Control Point. Your workers will be able to use the same forms they currently use which helps to lessen the learning curve and build on HACCP system training received.

Workers will be automatically informed when forms need to be completed according to your HACCP system plans. For example, if a HACCP Plan procedure calls for an External Building Inspection Checklist form to be filled out weekly by a maintenance worker the form will show up in the maintenance workers' Tasks List every week. Forms are filled out online within the workers' web browser and saved in the HACCP Control Point database. When forms are saved, Critical Control Point deviations are recorded and subsequent procedures are launched according to your HACCP System Plans. All completed forms in the system are logged and searchable. All forms can be reviewed online by auditors in a remote location if required.

Any electronic file can be uploaded to the system and associated with a form as an attachment to provide additional information. In a case where a contaminant is found a digital photograph can be uploaded along with an electronic form to more clearly document conditions.

Recalls

• Complaints
• Investigations
• Lot Recalls
• Actions

Complaints are tracked within the system along with Investigations. Investigation outcomes may involve performing Action items and potentially initiate a product Recall.

Multiple Recall action items, or tasks, can be entered and assigned to workers. The individual responsible for the resolution of the Recall is provided an overall view of the Recall that allows them to see at a glance the status of all associated products, lots, outstanding tasks, customer communication and reconciliations.

Mock Recalls can also be performed in the system to allow workders to practice recall procedures. Mock Recalls can be graded and the information shared with auditors.
