How to Simplify Paperwork for Food Safety Audits

When it’s that time, food safety audits at your farms can be stressful. Food safety managers prepare year-round for the on-site visit from your friends at the USDA, so it’s important to have a system in place for proper documentation. Highland Hub by Highland Ag is hands-down a food safety manager’s best friend when preparing for these audits. 

Highland Hub is a digital compliance, sustainability, and enterprise management suite of software that can help revolutionize your business, whether you’re a grower, shipper, or packer. The Hub offers a suite of software solutions for farms and facilities of any size to comply with FSMA and buyer requirements. With Highland Hub in place, your business can keep moving forward during safety audits. In fact, companies that use Highland Hub can reduce their auditing time by 70%!

Here’s how:

Documentation Organization

Highland Hub can replace the stacks of binders in your office that are full of copies of coffee-stained documentation. Highland easily digitizes information and checklists in a USDA-approved format. The Highland Hub suite of software can help you achieve operational efficiency since everything needed is in one place, organized, and universally formatted. 

Never Miss a Deadline

The intelligent Highland Hub software understands when your next milestones are and can automatically set reminders for weeks or months out so you are never behind. The day-to-day responsibilities can become cumbersome, and completing evaluations and inspections take time, so automatic reminders that leave time for completion are extremely helpful for food safety managers. 

Paperwork Audits Can Happen Off-Site

When we created the Highland Hub, we worked with growers and packers to ensure we were truly making life easier. With Highland Hub, the documentation review part of the audit can happen off-site so your daily operation isn’t interrupted. Food Safety Managers can approve access for the auditor to directly view the hub to review what they need, so you only see them for site audits!
