"We went from a warning letter to a perfect score in 90 days. The auditor closed the binder, looked up, and said he'd never seen documentation this clean."

Zero-Observation Results
Which of these is keeping you
up at 3 a.m.?
Every one of these is a 483 observation waiting to happen. We've seen each of them — and cleaned them up — more times than we can count.
Supplier COAs Piling Up Unreviewed
Your approved supplier list has 47 vendors. You've verified certificates of analysis for 12 of them. The other 35 are in a shared drive folder last opened in October. FDA's first question on a 483 is always about supplier verification.
Corrective Actions on Sticky Notes
Your last internal audit found 9 non-conformances. Three got fixed, four got sticky-noted, two were emailed to someone who no longer works there. When a third-party auditor asks for your CAPA log, you'll be searching three inboxes and a whiteboard.
Your PCQI Left Six Months Ago
The Preventive Controls Qualified Individual who built your food safety plan is at a competitor now. Nobody has been re-trained. The plan hasn't been reanalyzed. FSMA §117 requires annual reanalysis — and FDA knows exactly how to spot a plan that's been orphaned.
Six Retailer Audit Schemes, Zero Alignment
Whole Foods wants GFSI. Costco wants SQF. Your regional chain runs their own proprietary checklist. You're maintaining six separate sets of documentation for the same physical facility — and when they overlap, nobody's sure which version is current.
Every problem named.
Every solution documented.
We don't do general consulting. Each engagement maps directly to a named compliance gap — and we don't close the file until the gap is closed.
Problem: Scattered supplier documentation
Supplier Verification Program
Before
COAs in 4 different folders, 3 email threads, and one person's desktop
After
Centralized approved supplier database, automated COA tracking, and a verification workflow your QA team can maintain in under 2 hours per week.
Problem: CAPA logs that don't hold up
Corrective Action Management System
Before
Non-conformances tracked in a spreadsheet nobody updates, or not tracked at all
After
Structured CAPA workflow with root cause analysis templates, effectiveness checks, and a paper trail that satisfies any third-party auditor on day one.
Problem: Orphaned food safety plans
PCQI-Led Food Safety Plan Rebuild
Before
A food safety plan written two years ago by someone who's gone, never reanalyzed, with hazard analyses that don't match current production lines
After
Updated, FSMA-compliant food safety plan with current hazard analysis, validated preventive controls, and an internal PCQI trained to maintain it independently.
Problem: Multi-scheme audit chaos
Unified Compliance Architecture
Before
Six retailer audit checklists maintained separately, with no master document control system
After
A single integrated QMS that maps to SQF, BRCGS, FSSC 22000, and retailer-specific requirements simultaneously — one update propagates everywhere.
From gap to certified
in 90 days.
Every engagement follows the same proven arc. The timeline is aggressive because compliance gaps don't wait for your schedule.
Gap Assessment
We walk your floor with ATP swabs and thermal loggers. We read every page of your HACCP binder — even the parts that haven't been updated since the Obama administration. You get a prioritized gap report within 5 business days.
Documentation Overhaul
We rebuild your food safety plan, supplier verification program, and CAPA system from the ground up — or we audit and revise what you have. Every document is formatted to the exact standard you're targeting.
Training & Verification
Your team learns to operate the system without us. We run mock internal audits, train your designated PCQI, and verify that monitoring records are being completed correctly at every control point.
Audit Readiness & Day-Of Support
We conduct a final pre-audit review, sit with you during the opening meeting, and are on-call for the entire audit day. When the auditor flips your logbook closed and nods — that's the moment we've been building toward.
Every engagement begins with a no-cost gap assessment call.
Your gap assessment
starts here.
Three questions. Two minutes. A clear picture of where you stand before your next audit.
Free Pre-Audit Readiness Checklist
47 line items across supplier verification, CAPA, sanitation, and documentation control. The same checklist our auditors use on day one of every engagement.
Certifications We Work With
"We had our first Whole Foods PO and needed SQF Level 2 in 60 days. AuditFlow made it happen. The auditor had zero observations."
