Built in South Africa, run anywhere there is an inspector.
One paperless food safety system, 31 currencies, Codex HACCP to FSSC 22000, set up online by lead auditors. For food businesses in the Gulf, Europe, the United Kingdom, Asia and the Americas, and across Africa.
ASCloud is a paperless food safety management system built in South Africa by ASC Food Safety Consultants and used online by food businesses anywhere. It loads Codex HACCP, FSSC 22000, BRCGS, SQF, IFS, ISO 22000, GLOBALG.A.P., ISO 9001:2026, ISO 14001:2026 and ISO 45001 requirement sets, plus national codes such as the Dubai Food Code, ADAFSA Regulation 6 of 2010 and GSO 21, before first login. A full document FSMS costs R3,800 per site per month, about US$233, excluding VAT, shown in 31 currencies and invoiced in rand, with online setup from R5,000. As at October 2026.

Regulation (EC) 852/2004 Article 5, kept in UK law, requires every food business operator to put in place, implement and maintain permanent procedures based on the HACCP principles, keep the documents up to date and retain records for an appropriate period. UK supermarkets typically require own-label suppliers to hold a GFSI-benchmarked certificate such as BRCGS, and the Food Standards Agency's Safer Food Better Business packs set the expectation for caterers and retailers. ASCloud holds the HACCP-based procedures, the daily diary records and the BRCGS Issue 9 requirement set in one system, with the audit pack exported by clause.

United States and exporters to it
FSMA's Preventive Controls for Human Food rule, 21 CFR Part 117, requires a written food safety plan prepared or overseen by a preventive controls qualified individual, with records kept for at least two years and electronic records accepted. FDA will not enforce the FSMA 204 Food Traceability Rule before 20 July 2028. From then, businesses handling foods on the Food Traceability List must keep key data elements for each critical tracking event and, when FDA asks during an outbreak or recall, hand over an electronic sortable spreadsheet within 24 hours. ASCloud's traceability module holds those key data elements and exports them in that form.

Why food businesses outside South Africa choose a system built here
- Published prices, in your currency. Every plan and module has its price on the page, shown in 31 currencies, and a full document FSMS at R3,800 a month is a fraction of what comparable international platforms quote.
- Content kept current by lead auditors. ASC's FSSC 22000 and BRCGS lead auditors map every scheme change into the requirement sets, and it arrives as a proposed revision in your update log, included.
- Set up for you, online. An ASC specialist configures your documents, flows and users over screen-share and trains your team live. You go live in five working days with your own system loaded.
- Built for hard conditions. Checklists keep working when the signal drops and upload when it returns. A system built for African plants runs happily in a desert or a cold store anywhere.
- Time zone that suits Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Support at UTC+2 overlaps most of the working day from London to Dubai.

Questions from outside Africa
Can we use ASCloud outside Africa?
Yes. ASCloud is a cloud application with web, iPhone, iPad and Android apps, so any site with an internet connection can use it, and open checklists keep working when the signal drops. Setup and training run online in your working hours. Prices are shown in 31 currencies and invoices are issued in South African rand.
Which regulations and standards can you load?
Codex HACCP, FSSC 22000 Version 7, BRCGS Food Safety Issue 9, SQF, IFS Food version 8, ISO 22000, GLOBALG.A.P. IFA v6, ISO 9001:2026, ISO 14001:2026, ISO 45001 and SMETA, plus national requirement sets including South Africa's R638, the Dubai Food Code, ADAFSA Regulation 6 of 2010 and GSO 21. Regulation (EC) 852/2004 and FSMA Part 117 preventive controls records are configured on request.
Why would a business outside Africa choose a South African system?
Three reasons that come up when businesses outside South Africa compare us: every price is published, and it sits well below what North American and European platforms typically quote on request, the standards content is maintained by lead auditors who audit these schemes for a living, and setup is done by consultants rather than left to the customer. The time zone suits Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the rand price moves in your favour when your currency is strong.
How is support handled across time zones?
Support runs during South African office hours, UTC+2, which overlaps most of the working day in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and the morning in South and East Asia. Clients in the Americas get a response at the start of their day. WhatsApp, email and screen-share are all available.
What about data protection?
Records are hosted in South Africa under POPIA, with encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, daily tested backups and full free export on exit. For clients under the UK and EU GDPR, the UAE PDPL or similar laws, your contract includes a data processing agreement and the sub-processor list. Operational food safety records carry little personal data beyond the name of the person who signed them. Staff training and medical fitness records are, and are handled under that agreement.
