Your food safety program, on one system.

Every module in Beacon is food-specific: HACCP plans, CCP monitoring, allergen management, sanitation scheduling, lot traceability, environmental monitoring. A generic quality system makes you configure, customize, and compromise to fit food manufacturing. Beacon was designed and tested inside a working SQF plant, so it already works the way a food safety program works. You are not bending a tool to your program; the program is what it was built for.

Yes. Many facilities start where the pain is worst, usually document control or HACCP, with AI-customized compliance templates to start from instead of blank pages, then add traceability, CAPA, and environmental monitoring as the program matures. Because every module writes to the same record, adding one later does not mean re-entering data or stitching systems together. The program grows on one source of truth.

Each facility gets its own HACCP plans, documents, monitoring schedules, and permissions, while corporate sees a roll-up across every site. You can standardize SOPs from the top and still allow site-specific variation. Role-based access means a line lead, a QA manager, and a corporate director each see exactly what belongs to them, and nothing that does not.

It starts with a discovery call to understand your facility, your products, and your audit calendar. From there you take one of two paths. Digitize moves your existing program onto the platform in four to eight weeks. Build creates a new program with you in eight to twelve weeks. Both end with a Beacon instance you can run an audit from. SystemPath pairs the software with consulting so the program is set up correctly from day one.

That is the most common starting point, and it is what the Digitize path is for. We migrate your documents and records onto the platform, map your existing SOPs and schedules to the matching modules, and train your team on the workflows they will actually run. Nothing about your program has to be reinvented to move; what works on paper keeps working, minus the paper.

Pricing is a custom proposal sized to your operation: how many facilities, which modules, and whether consulting or training ride along. The discovery call scopes it, and you get the numbers in writing before you commit to anything. We would rather quote your actual operation than publish a tier grid that fits nobody.

The transformation, shipping, and receiving Critical Tracking Events, an EPCIS 2.0 JSON-LD export, and the FDA Sortable Spreadsheet are built in, and a transformation event is emitted automatically when a production run completes. Enforcement is set for July 20, 2028, but whether FDA's date moves or a retailer asks earlier, your records are captured correctly from the first lot. A recall trace runs forward and backward in seconds, from your desk.

SQFI expects Edition 10 audits to begin January 2, 2027. Edition 10 makes food safety culture, change management, environmental monitoring trend review, core-clause scoring, and cybersecurity within the food defense plan explicit. Beacon's templates and workflows carry the culture, change, and monitoring requirements, and its readiness insights weigh the core clauses the way Edition 10 does. For the cybersecurity requirement, the consulting team scopes the assessment with you and the documentation lives alongside your food defense plan. If you are certified today but not ready for Edition 10, this is the gap the platform and the consulting team close together.
