Real-Time Recall Management

The Recall + Response real-time SaaS solution for recall and stock withdrawal management empowers food companies both large and small to execute faster, more targeted recall management across their supply chain. The system launches automated communications including phone, email, and text notifications that are developed using prebuilt templates in the platform. By preparing and documenting the recall plan in advance, companies can ensure speed of delivery and consistency of notifications to their supply chain partners when a recall happens. Once the recall or stock withdrawal is launched, companies then monitor the platform’s dashboard to track the responses gathered and actions taken during a recall or stock withdrawal.

Multi-Facility ATP Reporting and Analysis

NeoNet is a cloud-based software platform that enables corporate food safety directors to achieve new levels of access, insight, and control of the effectiveness of the sanitation programs at each of their facilities. With the NeoNet system, each facility does routine ATP testing and transfers the results to their local computer networks. The data is then automatically synced to the customer’s universal NeoNet system. Food safety directors have immediate access to their facilities’ sanitation test results—no matter where in the world their facilities may be. Neogen Corp., 800-234-5333, www.neogen.com.
