Kitchens, butcheries, small processors: one site, 2 named users, R638 and CoA records ready for the inspector
ASCloud pricing, in rand, per site.
Every plan and every module has a published price. You see the full figure before you speak to anyone, in rand or in your own currency.

ASCloud costs from R499 per site per month for R638 and Certificate of Acceptability compliance, R1,820 for GFSI Global Markets Entry, R2,800 for GFSI Intermediate, from R2,500 for GLOBALG.A.P. and from R3,800 for a full document food safety management system covering HACCP, FSSC 22000 or BRCGS. Add-on modules start from R650 per month. A once-off setup of R3,850, or from R5,000 on Primary and Certification, covers five working days of configuration by an ASC food safety specialist. Prices exclude VAT and are invoiced in South African rand, as at September 2026.
Prices in your currency: pick a currency at the top of the page. Other currencies are a guide only, converted from rand at the reference rate of 28 September 2026. We invoice in rand, so what you pay in your currency depends on your bank's rate on the day. Prices exclude VAT. International transfer fees are for the sender's account.
Once-off setup
We build your system with you. From R5,000 (entry plans R3,850), live in five working days for a standard single site with documents supplied, or spread over a month. Complex sites are quoted and capped in writing first.
Monthly subscription
Per site, from R499 per month. Named user accounts on every plan: the person doing the check makes the record, and every entry is linked to one individual.
Modules and seats
Add modules from R650 a month when you need them, such as ISO 9001:2026 at R2,800 or ISO 45001 at R2,500. Additional users R250 per user per month, added or removed any month.

What R3,800 a month buys: your full FSMS on screen
From R3,800 per site per month, your whole food safety management system moves into ASCloud. Every controlled document, procedure, form, record and checklist is digital, version controlled and signed by a named person, so the printer, the lever arch files and the archive boxes can go. HACCP to SANS 10330, FSSC 22000 and BRCGS all run at this level.
Full automation is possible. Stock that updates itself, traceability that follows a lot from goods-in to dispatch, supplier documents that chase themselves and production schedules that feed your checklists can all be added. Each is a separate module with its own published price, because not every site needs all of them and you should only pay for what you use. The price moves above R3,800 when a site has more lines, more standards or more users than the plan includes, and your written quote shows which applies and what each module costs.
Included in every plan, at no extra cost
These are part of ASCloud on every plan, from R638 upwards. We will never sell them back to you as a module.
A scheme update changes the requirement set, templates and checklists inside ASCloud. If you want an ASC consultant to rewrite your own site procedures to the new version, we quote that in writing before any work starts.
Add-on modules, from R650, nothing hidden
Your plan runs your food safety system. Modules add the parts some sites need and others do not. Each module has a published monthly price per site, writes into the same audit trail and can be added or removed at your next billing date. Your written quote confirms every figure before anything is switched on.

ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001: alone, integrated, or added to your FSMS
Any one of ISO 9001:2026 quality, ISO 14001:2026 environmental or ISO 45001 health and safety runs on ASCloud on its own for R3,800 per site per month. Run two or more together as an integrated management system from R7,500 per site per month, with one audit programme and one management review. Add a standard to an existing ASCloud food safety plan and it costs less again: ISO 9001:2026 R2,800, ISO 45001 R2,500, ISO 14001:2026 priced on your quote. SMETA and social compliance and ERP integrations are scoped per site.

About the once-off setup fee
Setup is a one-time engagement in which our team configures the system around your actual operation: your documents, your process flows, your users. The standard fee is R5,000 (entry plans R3,850) and covers five allocated working days, mainly remote configuration plus two live training sessions, enough for a standard single-site facility with its documents supplied. It is delivered in one week or spread over a month if that suits your team better. Should your site be more complex, additional days are billed at R1,200 per day of 4 hours, for remote work or on-site work near our Gqeberha, Johannesburg and Cape Town offices, always quoted and agreed with you in writing before any work begins. Travel further afield, and any on-site work outside South Africa, is quoted with travel before it is booked. The price on your accepted quote is the price you pay.
The fine print, in plain words
- The 60-day money-back guarantee refunds subscription fees. Setup is work delivered, so it is refundable only before configuration starts.
- Annual prepay saves 15% on the subscription and holds your price for the year. If an annual prepay is cancelled, the refund is pro rata at the monthly price. The 15% does not combine with group pricing.
- The R499 R638 plan covers one site, 2 named users, the R638 and CoA content set and support by WhatsApp and email during office hours. Pest control integration is the only module available on it.
- Scheme updates are included for the standards on your plan. Rewriting your own site procedures to a new version is quoted separately.
- Clients outside South Africa are invoiced in rand, quarterly or annually in advance, because debit orders are not available across borders.
- Increases are capped at CPI plus 3%, with 90 days' notice. Full data export is free within 30 days if you ever leave.

Pricing questions, answered
How much does ASCloud cost?
From R499 per site per month for R638 and Certificate of Acceptability records, R1,820 for GFSI Global Markets Entry, R2,800 for GFSI Global Markets Intermediate, from R2,500 for GLOBALG.A.P. and from R3,800 for a full document FSMS covering HACCP, FSSC 22000, BRCGS, SQF or IFS. Add-on modules start from R650 per month. Setup is once-off from R3,850. All prices exclude VAT and are invoiced in South African rand.
Can I pay in dollars, euros or my own currency?
Prices can be shown in more than twenty currencies using the picker at the top of the page. They are converted from rand at a dated reference rate and are a guide only. We invoice in South African rand, so the amount in your currency depends on your bank's rate on the day. International transfer fees are for the sender's account.
What is included in every plan?
Missed and overdue task triggers with escalation, incomplete task alerts, verification sign-offs, digital checklists, update notifications and all FSSC 22000, BRCGS, GLOBALG.A.P. and HACCP scheme updates for the standards on your plan.
What do the add-on modules cost?
ISO 9001:2026 is R2,800 per site per month and ISO 45001 is R2,500 when added to an existing plan. Inventory and stock is R1,850, the supplier portal R1,450, an additional GFSI standard R2,400 and pest control integration R650. Forward and backward traceability is R1,690, or R2,100 together with production planning. Any ISO standard on its own is R3,800, and an integrated management system of two or more ISO standards starts at R7,500. Automated tools such as environmental monitoring (R1,450) and the culture, food defence, food fraud and food loss and waste tools (R750 each) are priced per site per year.
Is full automation possible?
Yes. Most repeat tasks can be automated, from stock that updates itself to supplier documents that chase themselves and traceability from goods-in to dispatch. Each is a separate module with its own price, because not every site needs all of them.
What does the 60-day money-back guarantee cover?
It refunds your subscription fees if ASCloud is not right for you within 60 days of going live. Setup is specialist work delivered, so it is refundable only before configuration starts.
What happens if my site needs more than five setup days?
Additional days are R1,200 per day of 4 hours, for remote work or on-site work near our Gqeberha, Johannesburg and Cape Town offices, quoted and agreed in writing first. Travel further afield, and any on-site work outside South Africa, is quoted with travel before it is booked.
