SafetyChain Software, the leading innovator of food safety & quality assurance (FSQA) management solutions, announces its acquisition of Vigilistics, Inc., a leading provider of quality, profitability and sustainability solutions for food & beverage manufacturers.
Vigilistics’ manufacturing solutions are an ideal complement to SafetyChain’s food safety & quality management solutions. While each company’s focus has been on different aspects of the food & beverage industry’s operations, both companies’ solutions help companies increase operational visibility and optimize performance.
Companies throughout the food supply chain leverage SafetyChain’s solutions to more effectively manage food safety, quality and supplier compliance. As a result, SafetyChain customers are able to mitigate risks, reduce costs and continuously improve their FSQA operations. Vigilistics drives quality, profitability and sustainability for Food & Beverage manufacturers by providing affordable solutions for monitoring, analyzing and reporting process operations.
The Vigilistics acquisition will add three key capabilities to the SafetyChain solution suite:
- Equipment data integration – patented technology for capturing data from PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) will allow customers to have equipment data integrated into the SafetyChain system.
- Data visualization – expertise and solutions for robust data visualization will give greater insight and analysis of large volumes of data.
- Expanded functionality – deepens SafetyChain’s core food safety capabilities and expands functionality for receiving, material loss, inspections and sanitization.
