Paperless food safety in Namibia, priced at par with the rand.
HACCP, FSSC 22000, BRCGS and GLOBALG.A.P. records for Namibian processors, exporters and farms, at the same price as in South Africa.
ASCloud is a paperless food safety management system built in South Africa by ASC Food Safety Consultants and available to food businesses in Namibia. It holds HACCP, FSSC 22000, BRCGS and GLOBALG.A.P. records. Because the Namibia dollar is pegged to the rand, a full document FSMS costs from N$3,800 per site per month, the same as R3,800, with missed-task alerts and scheme updates included and invoices issued in rand.

Why Namibian food businesses go paperless with ASCloud
When food control is split across several ministries, a Namibian processor can be visited by more than one inspector, each asking for a different slice of the same records. Paper answers one inspector at a time. ASCloud keeps one record for each check and lets you produce exactly the slice each inspector needs.
Pricing at par with the rand, support in the same time zone and an ASC office an hour's flight away in Cape Town make Namibia one of the simplest markets to run ASCloud in outside South Africa.
Buyers, markets and the standards they ask for
- Meat and fish exporters to the European Union and United Kingdom work to strict HACCP and traceability requirements
- Table grape and fresh produce growers along the Orange River supply buyers who ask for GLOBALG.A.P.
- South African retail chains trading in Namibia run supplier programmes that ask for HACCP or GFSI Global Markets progress
Setup, support and invoicing
Setup for sites outside South Africa is scoped on your written quote, including how much of the configuration and training runs online and whether on-site days are needed. Any travel is quoted before anything is booked. Support runs during South African office hours (Namibia shares South African time). Invoices are issued in South African rand, quarterly or annually in advance, because debit orders are not available across borders.

Questions from Namibia
Why are Namibian prices the same as rand prices?
The Namibia dollar is pegged one-to-one to the South African rand, so R3,800 is N$3,800. Invoices are issued in rand, which circulates in Namibia alongside the Namibia dollar.
Who inspects food businesses in Namibia?
Responsibility is shared between several ministries rather than one food safety authority, which is why a single record system that can answer any inspector is useful. Confirm which ministry covers your product with the relevant authority.
Can fish and meat exporters use ASCloud?
Yes. HACCP, sanitation, temperature, pest control and traceability records all run in ASCloud, and the traceability module links raw material lots to finished product and dispatch.
