The Problem

What food labs struggle with

Food and beverage labs face growing regulatory pressure, complex supply chains, and zero tolerance for safety failures — all while being asked to do more with less.

⚠️

Allergen Mismanagement

Tracking allergens manually across hundreds of raw materials, recipes and production lines creates gaps that can lead to costly recalls and serious consumer harm.

📦

Supplier QC Gaps

Without a system to manage supplier CoAs, incoming test results and approved vendor lists, substandard ingredients can enter production undetected.

🕐

Slow Batch Release

Manual test result collation and paper-based sign-off processes delay batch release, increase hold times and create bottlenecks that affect production planning.

📋

Audit Preparation Burden

BRC, SQF and retailer audits require comprehensive documentation that takes weeks to compile when records are spread across spreadsheets, emails and filing cabinets.

🧫

Micro Lab Coordination

Coordinating microbiological testing — with its incubation times, read schedules and action limits — across multiple products and sites is error-prone without a dedicated system.

📊

No Trend Visibility

Without real-time dashboards, quality managers can't see patterns in supplier failures, CCP deviations, or product non-conformances until they become serious problems.

How A1 LIMS Helps

From farm gate to finished product

A1 LIMS covers the complete food and beverage quality workflow — raw material intake, in-process checks, finished product testing and batch release — in one connected system.

🌾

Raw Material & Supplier Management

Manage approved vendor lists, supplier CoAs, and incoming test results in one place. Automatic hold/release decisions based on specification limits you define.

⚠️

Allergen Tracking

Track allergens from raw material through to finished product. Cross-contamination risk flags, cleaning validation records, and allergen declaration support built in.

🏭

In-Process & CCP Management

Record and monitor critical control points in real time. Automatic alerts when CCP limits are approached or breached, with full corrective action workflows.

🧫

Microbiology Lab Management

Manage incubation schedules, read times, and action limits for microbiological tests. Automatic scheduling and reminders ensure no reads are missed across high-volume labs.

📅

Shelf-Life & Stability Studies

Design and execute shelf-life protocols with automatic time-point scheduling. Track sensory, physical and microbiological parameters over time with trend analysis.

📄

Automated CoA & Batch Release

Generate certificates of analysis and nutritional declarations automatically from test results. Batch release sign-off in one click — with full audit trail and electronic signature.

Customer Story

Heard from the quality team

"Our BRC audit went from a week of frantic preparation to a single afternoon. Everything the auditor asked for was in A1 LIMS — supplier CoAs, allergen records, CCP logs, micro results. We achieved Grade A for the first time. The system paid for itself on day one of the audit."
