Quality Track is an application / software that assists the company in the management of the HACCP program, monitoring and verifying PCCs and PPROs, ensuring that deviations are dealt with as they occur and that the people involved in this decision-making process are involved and know the deviation at the exact moment it happens. In addition, all activities are recorded in real time, generating history and a traceable database.
Currently, companies define their PCCs and PPROs controls in spreadsheets / forms, where employees trained to monitor these points, make the conference and record the results. However, we have many weaknesses in these controls and these weaknesses vary from company to company:
• Failure to comply with the frequencies established for monitoring and checks;
• Records of information not corresponding to reality;
• Deviations in CCPs without taking immediate action (in time);
• Inconsistency of the monitoring results with the verification results of the PCCs and PPROs.
• “Disappearance” of records and information;
• Lack of commitment and understanding by the person responsible for monitoring;
• Difficulty in tracking products manufactured with deviations in PCCs and that cannot be marketed.
These and countless other weaknesses lead us to the need to implement a control format that is more assertive and efficient with regard to the need to have correct information at the established frequencies and to take actions on deviations at the times they occur, ensuring that this information does not misplaced and easy to track.
After the preparation of the HACCP, the company will have the definition of its PCCs and PPROs, where the critical and / or acceptable limits will be described, the forms of monitoring and verification, the frequencies and those responsible and this information will feed the application. .

1. Each PCC or PPRO will be inserted in the application where at least the following information will be available:
A. Information about the PCC or PPRO: Description of the PPRO or PCC, Form of monitoring and frequency, Form of verification and frequency, Dangers associated with the control of this PCC and PPRO, so that the monitor knows why it is important that it is controlled.
B. Monitoring: space where the monitor will record the monitoring.
C. Verification: space where the verifier will register the verification.
D. Action plan for CCPs or PPROs with deviations
2. Each monitor or verifier will have a code, which will be its key to entering the tool and which will serve to know who was responsible for each registration made in each PCC or PPRO.
3. The application is used on cell phones or tablets equipped properly for use in each PCC or PPRO, as the form of data input may be different according to each PCC or PPRO.
4. Have access to this application at a minimum: monitors, verifiers and food safety staff. However, it is also interesting that managers who are not part of the team, have access to the application and access to the platform for preparing the action plan.
5. People who take immediate action in relation to a deviation must have access to the application so that they can decide what will be done in each deviation that occurred.
6. When the result of a PCC or PPRO is imputed in the system and it is out of the standard, an alert is issued to everyone who has the application and one of the people authorized to make a decision, will enter the system and give an immediate response. This action is necessary, as deviations in PPROs do not always mean that the process must be interrupted, unlike deviations from PCCs, where, once it has occurred, they place the product at eminent risk.
7. Upon deviation from a PPRO or PCC, an “Action Plan” will automatically open and in this application session, the people defined, will record the analyzes performed and the decisions made upon the deviation recorded.
8. All records imputed in the application are traceable to the entry key of the person who made it, thus avoiding adulteration and fraud in information.
The great difference of the technology embedded in the Quality Track, is that it was elaborated by a team of professionals specialized in the quality area, with practical industrial experience, who know closely the reality of the companies in Brazil. Thus, the entire system was designed to operate in a simple, practical and intuitive way, however, without opening the fundamental technical aspects involved in the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points Program (HACCP). The different features of Quality Tack were developed through real situations.
