CAQ.Net HACCP-Software is a modular quality management solution designed to implement the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) concept. It assists companies in the food production, packaging, and processing sectors to identify, evaluate, control, and document chemical, biological, physical, and human hazards that could cause consumer illness or injury. The software leverages a dynamic knowledge base and an interactive HACCP decision tree to streamline hazard analysis and control measures. It integrates monitoring, documentation, and training management to ensure compliance with food safety regulations and improve operational efficiency.

Key Features

Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis Supports initial HACCP risk analysis by identifying chemical, biological, physical, and human hazards using a dynamic knowledge base with a hazard catalogue.

• Access to previously identified hazards from similar products/processes
• Integration with supplier management, complaint processing, and employee training data
• Simplifies tracing hazard origins (raw materials, personnel, production steps)

Interactive HACCP Decision Tree Guides users through a Codex Alimentarius-based decision tree with five questions per product/process step to identify critical control points (CCPs).

• Structured hazard assessment
• Facilitates compliance with HACCP principles

Measures Specification and Monitoring Enables specification, documentation, and monitoring of control measures with access to historical data and company knowledge.

• Definition of critical control limits
• Implementation of inspection and safety measures
• Monitoring of regular controls like pH measurements, metal detector inspections, and final product checks

Documentation and Compliance Ensures secure, consistent documentation of analyses, measures, and responsibilities with electronic document management.

• Version management and change traceability
• Electronic signatures compliant with FDA regulations
• Access and rights management for data security

Training Management and Skills Matrix Supports planning, managing, documenting, and evaluating employee training related to HACCP and food hygiene regulations.

• E-learning creation and qualification database
• Tracks employee training needs and schedules
• Central management of training materials and records

Efficiency and Paperless Workflow Improves HACCP process efficiency by approximately 30% and significantly reduces paper usage through digital workflows and controls.

Integration with Risk Management Includes Risk.Net software for holistic risk management, supporting ISO 22000-compliant HACCP and other risk analysis methods like FMEA and risk matrices.
