Specialist tools, inside the same system.
Food safety culture, environmental monitoring, food defence, food fraud and food loss and waste. The automated tools from the ASC shop, running in your ASCloud login, from R750 per site per year.
ASCloud runs five automated food safety tools alongside any plan: a food safety and quality culture tool (R750 per site per year), an environmental monitoring programme tool (R1,450), a food defence tool (R750), a food fraud tool (R750) and a food loss and waste tool (R750, launching soon). They are the same tools sold on the ASC Food Safety shop, and inside ASCloud their results, alerts and corrective actions share the audit trail with your checklists. Prices exclude VAT and are invoiced in rand.
Food safety and quality culture tool

Tool questions, answered
Are these the same tools sold on the ASC shop?
Yes. The automated tools on ascfoodsafety.com/shop run inside ASCloud, so a site with an ASCloud plan gets them in the same login and the same audit trail. A site without ASCloud can still buy them on their own from the shop.
How are the tools priced?
Per site per year, excluding VAT: environmental monitoring R1,450, and the culture, food defence, food fraud and food loss and waste tools R750 each. Nothing is hidden and the price does not change after you accept your quote.
Which plans can add the tools?
Any ASCloud plan. Kitchens on the R638 plan most often add the culture tool, and certification sites add environmental monitoring, food defence and food fraud, which FSSC 22000 and BRCGS both audit.
Do the tools replace the risk assessment templates?
They automate them. The environmental monitoring tool, for example, builds the RA19 risk assessment structure for you and then logs results against it, where the template alone gives you the structure to fill in.
Five programmes auditors sample every time, automated.
