Hygiena’s sampling plan module enhances efficiency and traceability in food safety management

Hygiena^® a leader in food safety and quality control solutions, is proud to announce the launch of its latest innovation within the SureTrend^® platform: the Sampling Plan Module. Designed to address key challenges faced by food safety professionals, the new module offers a streamlined, efficient approach to sampling management that enhances traceability, simplifies data management and improves collaboration.

Traditional sampling processes are often plagued by inefficiencies and challenges, including manual data entry, fragmented communication and difficulties in maintaining regulatory compliance. The new Sampling Plan Module was developed to tackle these issues directly, ensuring a smoother, more reliable approach to sampling management.

"We understand the difficulties food safety teams face when managing complex sampling plans across different product lines and facilities," said Mark Carter, Sr. Global Software Product Manager at Hygiena.

Key features of the sampling plan module

Efficient Sampling Plan Creation and Management: Customizable templates allow users to quickly set up sampling plans, with automated scheduling and notifications to ensure timely execution. Real-time updates enable teams to adapt swiftly to changing requirements.

Enhanced Traceability and Compliance: The module offers centralized tracking and documentation of sampling activities, complete with unique sample IDs and timestamp records, simplifying audit preparations and ensuring compliance.

Seamless Collaboration: Automatic notifications and alerts keep stakeholders informed, while easy sharing of sampling plans and results ensures effective coordination with external labs and team members.

Data-Driven Insights for Continuous Improvement: The module's analytical capabilities convert raw sampling data into actionable insights, helping teams identify areas for optimization and track key performance metrics.

For companies without the resources to implement a full-scale Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), the Sampling Plan Module provides a light version of LIMS functionality, offering efficient data management without the complexity and cost. The module acts as a unified platform, consolidating information and automating workflows to streamline the sampling process.
