Whether you are an owner, a quality manager or the food business operator of an artisanal food company, KoreLab is the tool with which you build, keep alive and demonstrate your self-monitoring system. Versioned HACCP manual, hazard analysis by process step, tamper-evident records, batch traceability and a complete dossier ready to hand over to the certification body. A single place for HACCP self-monitoring and — above all — the voluntary certifications (IFS Food, BRCGS, ISO 9001/22000, FSSC 22000), updated in real time.
HACCP self-monitoring is always the foundation. The Certifications suite can be activated on any plan (add-on +€19/month) and is already included in the Qualità plan and in Pro.
Anyone who manages food safety knows it well: the system exists, but it lives scattered everywhere and struggles to keep pace with production. And when the audit arrives, rebuilding everything by hand costs days and nerves.
The manual in one folder, technical sheets in another, records in a binder, assessments in old emails. At the audit nobody can find the latest version and no one knows which one is valid.
Every change to the process forces you back into the Word manual, re-checking references and realigning the hazard analysis. It gets put off, and the document falls behind the reality of the workshop.
Sheets that get lost, get wet, get filled in at the end of the week "from memory". An Excel sheet can be changed without leaving a trace: it offers the auditor no guarantees about who wrote what and when.
The days before the audit turn into a race: binding folders, hunting for evidence, hoping nothing is missing. "Last minute" preparation is the real hidden cost of certification.
An unrecorded out-of-limit temperature, an expired calibration, a corrective action never closed: omissions that become non-conformities at audit and, on the mandatory side, a risk of penalties.
When you need to trace from a raw-material batch to the finished products and the customers to alert, doing it by hand on paper delivery notes takes hours — exactly when time is the thing you don't have.
Allergens are a critical legal and safety point: they must be tracked per ingredient, assessed as a hazard and managed in cross-contamination. A mistake here is unforgiving.
If one customer asks for IFS and another for BRCGS, you risk redoing the same evidence three times. Without a mapping between standards, each scheme looks like a system of its own.
The Quality suite covers the whole journey: from the hazard to the dossier. Every function is linked to the real master data of the management system (products, raw materials, suppliers, batches), so evidence is born from the company's true data — and each one brings a concrete benefit at audit and in day-to-day work.
One quality dossier for HACCP and for all the voluntary standards you need, with cross-mapping of clauses. Benefit: no parallel systems, a single source of truth for every auditor.
Sections with a life cycle (draft → approved → obsolete), tracked history and revisions, cover and table of contents with real page numbers, "Generate standard text" across 43 bilingual IT/EN sections and PDF export. Benefit: the manual always stays aligned with reality, and you start from text already written instead of a blank page.
Flow diagram, biological, chemical, physical, allergen and fraud hazards with a 5×5 Probability × Severity matrix and a 1-5 legend always visible, plus a Codex decision tree that automatically classifies CCP / oPRP / PRP. Benefit: a methodical and defensible analysis, without forgetting hazard categories.
Critical points with a code, critical limits from a reusable library with an append-only history of the "why", a monitoring plan and corrective actions. An out-of-limit value opens a Non-Conformity on its own. Benefit: the verdict is calculated from the data, not declared in words.
Requirement status for every active standard (Compliant / Partial / Non-compliant / N.A. with justification), a coverage dashboard, the penalty framework with clickable laws and unification of requirements across schemes. Benefit: you see at a glance what is missing and how ready you are.
Temperatures for chillers/blast chillers/cooking, cleaning, goods acceptance, CCP monitoring, calibration, foreign bodies, personal hygiene, finished-product release… Every entry is attributable, legible and dated; a correction is a tracked reversal, never an overwrite. Benefit: digital records compliant with ALCOA+ principles, with PDF printout.
Goods-in with supplier batch, delivery note, expiry and carrier; stock from an append-only ledger with FEFO; one-step-back / one-step-forward traceability (art. 18 Reg. (EC) 178/2002) and a recall test (mock recall) with the list of customers to alert. Benefit: trace the supply chain in minutes, not in half a day.
Qualification and periodic evaluation of suppliers and food-contact materials (FCM) with radar and criteria, linked to master data. Benefit: the supplier management required by the standards, already structured and documented.
Assessment of intentional threats to food safety with the same risk matrix (Vulnerability × Opportunity) and an always-visible legend. Benefit: you cover a requirement now present in IFS, BRCGS and FSSC.
Assessment of vulnerability to food fraud (adulteration, substitution, mislabelling) across raw materials and suppliers. Benefit: you demonstrate that you have analysed fraud risk, as required by the GFSI schemes.
Operators with a PIN signature verified on the server (bcrypt, with lockout) and a chained SHA-256 integrity seal that cannot be forked. "Integrity check" recalculates the chain and confirms "✓ chain intact". Benefit: your evidence moves from "trust me" to "check it yourself".
A PDF of every record with the company header, a complete "Print dossier" and a self-verifiable 10-year ZIP archive (dossier + integrity manifest + standalone verifier, readable even without KoreLab). Benefit: long-term retention and independence from the software.
An assistant with your own keys (BYOK Gemini/OpenAI/Anthropic), based on RAG with a "cite-or-abstain" guardrail: it answers on your data or abstains, without making things up, and guides you in using the tool. Benefit: quick help on your documents, available in the plans that include AI.
A unified deadline planner with regulatory deadlines filtered by active standard (you only see what concerns you), Non-Conformities and CAPA with the full cause → correction → action → verification → closure cycle, plus equipment with codes and calibration deadlines. Benefit: no more forgotten deadlines or corrective actions left open.
HACCP is the mandatory foundation, always active. On top of it you add the voluntary standards the market asks of you — single or combined. With several standards active, equivalent requirements are unified: a single piece of evidence covers multiple clauses.
What it covers: self-monitoring based on HACCP principles, mandatory in Italy and the EU (Reg. (EC) 852/2004 art. 5) with the traceability of Reg. (EC) 178/2002 art. 18. Who needs it: every food business, always. It is the foundation KoreLab keeps alive by default.
What it covers: the safety and quality of food products, in particular private-label products. Who needs it: those who supply, or want to supply, large-scale retail, especially in Europe. Requirements and clauses ready for the gap analysis.
What it covers: the Global Standard for Food Safety, recognised by GFSI. Who needs it: those who export and those who work with retailers and international markets, where BRCGS is often the required calling card. Clause mapping included.
What it covers: the quality management system, the organisational framework and continuous improvement. Who needs it: companies that want to structure their processes and demonstrate a quality system, even beyond food alone.
What it covers: the food safety management system along the entire supply chain, integrable with the other management systems. Who needs it: those who want a process approach to food safety, internationally recognised.
What it covers: a GFSI-recognised scheme, based on ISO 22000 plus sector prerequisite programmes. Who needs it: those who serve international customers and groups that require a complete GFSI scheme.
Put into practice, here is what changes in the life of the company when self-monitoring lives inside KoreLab.
Everything is in one place, up to date and verifiable: the manual at its latest version, signed records, a printable dossier. No last-minute scrambles, no folders to bind the night before.
Standard texts already written, digital records, quick selection from master data, PDFs generated in one click. Time goes back to production instead of bureaucracy.
The out-of-limit verdict opens the Non-Conformity on its own, allergens are tracked per ingredient, deadlines warn you and traceability is always complete. Less room for human error.
The mock recall traces from a batch to all the finished products and the customers to contact in a few clicks. When a recall is real, speed is everything.
Append-only records, PIN signature and a verifiable SHA-256 hash-chain seal make evidence attributable and intact over time. Honest legal value: a simple electronic signature, but resistant to internal dispute.
A single piece of evidence covers multiple clauses thanks to the mapping. Adding a standard does not mean starting from scratch: it means activating the clauses already covered and closing the few remaining gaps.
From free sign-up to an audit-ready dossier, with no leaps into the dark.
You sign up for free and set up the master data (products, raw materials, suppliers). HACCP self-monitoring is the always-active foundation: you begin here even without activating anything else.
You switch on the Certifications suite and choose, for your profile, the voluntary standards required (IFS, BRCGS, ISO, FSSC). The gap analysis populates and equivalent requirements are unified.
You generate the standard texts of the manual, map the flow diagram, assess hazards by step with the 5×5 matrix and let the Codex tree classify CCP, oPRP and PRP.
Operators sign records with their PIN (temperatures, cleaning, goods acceptance, CCP…). Every entry is sealed and can no longer be modified: the system builds itself while you work.
The filtered deadline planner warns you about calibrations, regulatory deadlines and verifications; Non-Conformities and CAPA follow the full cycle through to documented closure.
You generate the complete PDF dossier, export the self-verifiable 10-year ZIP archive and present yourself to the certification body with everything ready, ordered and verifiable.
Three profiles, three paths. Certification can be activated at any time, and those who already have it see "✓ already active". Prices exclude VAT.

Honesty first: so you know exactly what you can rely on in front of the auditor — and what remains down to you and your consultant.
| Aspect | With KoreLab | What it is NOT |
|---|---|---|
| Certification | It prepares and accompanies you; a dossier ready for the body | We do not issue certificates, we are not "Accredia-accredited" |
| Signature | Simple electronic signature (PIN + SHA-256 hash-chain seal) | Not a qualified signature (QES) nor a timestamp |
| Regulatory texts | Indicative bilingual drafts with clause references | Never the full text of the standards; not legal advice |
| Integrity of proof | Append-only ALCOA+ records, independently verifiable | To be adapted and validated together with your consultant |
| Traceability | One-step-back / one-step-forward and mock recall in minutes | Depends on the quality of the goods-in data you enter |
KoreLab is designed so that you and your consultant work on the same data, with a single hash-chain. The consultant accesses your live dossier in read-only and sends you change proposals signed with their PIN: it is you (RA/RGQ) who reviews, approves and signs with your PIN. Double signature, sealed and tracked change. The classic "the consultant prepares, the company validates" made digital and tamper-evident.
The answers most often sought by owners, quality managers and food business operators.
Start for free with HACCP self-monitoring, then activate the Certifications suite when you need it. You and your consultant on the same data, always, with verifiable proof.
