How EthicalHub works
on your production floor.

Your production compliance command centre — shift PRP checks, goods-in verification, supplier COA tracking, NCR/CAPA, and audit-ready evidence packs. Built for HACCP/GMP, with optional SQF, FSSC 22000, and BRCGS paths.

Who is this for

Built for plants.
And the people who audit them.

Whether you run production or manage compliance across manufacturing clients — EthicalHub has a dedicated workflow for food manufacturing.

I run a food manufacturing plant

QA managers, production leads, and technical teams. Log shift checks on the floor, verify every lot at goods-in, track supplier COAs, close NCRs, and walk into every audit with a complete evidence pack.

I'm a QA consultant for manufacturers

Build the HACCP programme, invite the plant, review compliance from your dashboard, sign off CAPAs remotely, and generate dated audit reports — all from one login, free for consultants.

The manufacturing flow

From goods-in to audit-ready
in under 15 minutes.

Here's exactly how EthicalHub works for food manufacturers — step by step.

1
Setup
Configure your facility and supply chain

Create your plant profile, select your certification path (HACCP, SQF, FSSC 22000, or BRCGS), and add approved raw-material suppliers. Upload COAs, HACCP certificates, and allergen declarations — EthicalHub configures your compliance requirements automatically.

2
Daily operations
Floor staff log shift PRP checks

Cold-chain verification, sanitation checks, equipment inspections — logged on any device in under 30 seconds. Every check is timestamped, named, and tied to your 18 prerequisite programmes. Missed checks and overdue periodic reviews surface automatically.

Goods-in control
Every raw-material lot verified before production use

Supplier, product, PO/delivery note, batch/lot number, storage type, temperature, and COA verification — logged at receiving. Rejected lots feed straight into monitoring and NCR if needed. High-volume plants can bulk-upload via CSV.

QA monitoring
One pane of glass for everything that needs attention

PRP non-conformances, temperature warnings, incoming rejections, open NCRs, supplier cert expiry, and your Production Audit Readiness score — all in one monitoring view. QA sees what's overdue before it becomes an audit finding.

NCR / CAPA
Non-conformances captured, investigated, and closed

When a PRP check fails, a lot is rejected at goods-in, or a deviation pattern is detected — EthicalHub logs it immediately. Investigate root cause, assign CAPA, set a deadline, and close with a timestamped audit trail. Monthly manager sign-off captures attestation with score at sign-off.

Manufacturing features

Every production tool included.
No add-ons, no extras.

HACCP PRPs & Daily Checks
All 18 prerequisite programmes under FSANZ 3.2.1 — scheduled, logged on the floor, reviewed, and documented. Replaces clipboards with timestamped digital records.
Shift board logging — cold-chain, sanitation, equipment checks logged in under 30 seconds on any device.
Periodic review scheduling — alerts when a PRP review is due. Record completion and corrections in-platform.
Log here, monitor in CCP tab — floor staff log in PRPs; QA reviews deviations in CCP & Monitoring. No double entry.
Incoming Goods Verification
Every raw-material receipt logged with supplier, batch/lot, storage type, temperature, and COA verification — before any lot enters production.
Lot-level traceability — batch/lot numbers captured at receiving for forward and backward traceability.
Automatic breach detection — chilled goods above 5°C or frozen above −15°C trigger NCR workflow immediately.
Bulk CSV upload — high-volume receiving plants can import receipts in batch.
Supplier COA & Compliance
Approved supplier register with COAs, HACCP certificates, allergen declarations, and insurance — version-controlled and monitored for expiry.
COA verification at goods-in — every lot checked against current supplier documentation before acceptance.
Version history — always know which certificate was current at the time of a specific receipt.
Expiry alerts at 60, 30, and 7 days — escalating notifications before certificates lapse.
CCP & Monitoring Dashboard
QA review layer — one pane of glass for PRP non-conformances, temperature warnings, incoming rejections, and open NCRs. The review screen; logging always happens in PRPs.
Unified alert view — see everything that needs QA attention without checking multiple systems.
Deviation pattern detection — recurring issues flagged before they become audit findings.
Production compliance snapshot — CCP status and certification rollup visible from the home dashboard.
Non-Conformance Register (NCR/CAPA)
Full NCR lifecycle — log, investigate root cause, assign CAPA, track close-out, and maintain a timestamped audit trail for certifier review.
Auto-created from breaches — PRP failures, goods-in rejections, and deviation alerts feed directly into NCR.
CAPA assignment & deadlines — assign to QA or production staff with due dates and escalation.
Monthly manager sign-off — attestation that certs, goods-in, training, and NCRs were reviewed, with score captured at sign-off.
HACCP Audit Pack & Readiness Score
Production Audit Readiness score across 6 manufacturing domains — incoming goods, suppliers, PRPs, training, NCRs, and governance. One-click export when you're audit-ready.
6-domain scoring — live score updated every time a check is logged, cert uploaded, or NCR closed.
Scheme workflows — SQF, FSSC 22000, and BRCGS clause progress with evidence notes (GFSI tiers).
One-click audit pack — PRPs, incoming goods, training, NCRs, policies — complete export in 60 seconds.

Questions

Common manufacturing questions
answered directly.

Yes — floor staff log all shift checks (including CCP-related checks) in PRPs & Daily Checks. The CCP & Monitoring tab is the QA review screen where deviations, alerts, and open NCRs are monitored. Log in PRPs; review in CCP. No double entry.
All manufacturing plans include Codex HACCP/GMP compliance. GFSI-SQF adds SQF scheme workflows with clause-level evidence. FSSC 22000 and BRCGS tiers add formal calibration registers and scheme-specific audit paths. Start with Basic HACCP and grow into GFSI certification as your plant certifies.
No. EthicalHub is compliance-first for manufacturing — it works alongside your existing suppliers, ERP, and procurement systems. Add your approved suppliers, upload their COAs and certificates, and log goods-in as materials arrive. Nothing about your production or ordering process needs to change.
Most single-site plants are fully configured in under 15 minutes — facility profile, supplier register, and first PRP checks. Multi-site operations typically take 30–60 minutes. Book a walkthrough and we'll set everything up together on a 20-minute call.
Every incoming goods log captures batch/lot numbers linked to supplier and receipt date. Search incoming goods by lot or supplier today. Full forward/backward recall simulation is on the roadmap — lot-level data is already captured at goods-in.
Yes. All production data is hosted on Australian servers (Supabase Sydney region). Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never share your data with third parties or advertisers.

Ready when the certifier arrives.
Not after.

Start free. Most manufacturing plants are audit-ready within 15 minutes of setup.
