Hazard analysis · CCPs · Verification · Corrective action
HACCP software for UK food manufacturers.
Record CCP checks against your limits, with out-of-limit results surfaced for a person to act on.
Critical Limits Enforced, Not Suggested
A reading outside the critical limit blocks the next step, opens the deviation and notifies the responsible person in the same action.
Monitoring captured at the point and time of check
Tablet or kiosk entry with operator identity, timestamp and equipment reference.
Verification, Validation and Review Evidenced
Scheduled verification activities, calibration of monitoring devices, and change-triggered re-validation of the plan all carry records and signatures.
What goes wrong today3 common problems
The Plan and the Practice Drift Apart
The HACCP study says one thing; the line does another. The gap only surfaces at audit or after a complaint.
CCP checks get signed in batches
Ten checks signed at the end of a shift is not monitoring — and auditors can spot it from the timestamps.
Verification and annual review are a scramble
Evidence that the plan was verified, reviewed and re-validated after change is scattered across emails and minutes.

Critical Limits Enforced, Not Suggested
A reading outside the critical limit blocks the next step, opens the deviation and notifies the responsible person in the same action.
Monitoring captured at the point and time of check
Tablet or kiosk entry with operator identity, timestamp and equipment reference. Missed checks escalate live.
Verification, Validation and Review Evidenced
Scheduled verification activities, calibration of monitoring devices, and change-triggered re-validation of the plan all carry records and signatures.
Corrective Action with Root Cause
Product disposition, root cause, action, owner, due date and effectiveness check — the chain the auditor follows.

Common questions4 answers
- What is HACCP software?
- Software that holds the hazard analysis and HACCP plan, enforces critical limits at each CCP as the process runs, records monitoring with attributable timestamps, and manages deviations, corrective actions, verification and plan review.
- Does V5 stop production when a CCP fails?
- It blocks the next step for the affected batch and opens a deviation with the lot, equipment, operator and reading attached. Product disposition is a controlled decision with a signature, not a verbal call.
- How does it support the due-diligence defence?
- Every monitoring record is attributable, time-stamped and tamper-evident, with the calibration status of the measuring device linked — which is what a due-diligence argument rests on.
- Can we import our existing HACCP plan?
- Yes. Existing hazard analyses, CCP tables and critical limits are configured into V5 during implementation; the plan is versioned from that point with change control.
