Industry
The U.S Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) mandates that companies dealing with food have to necessarily implement appropriate processes, to ensure proper handling of food recalls, and establish an effective food safety plan. Additionally there are other regulatory requirements in the form of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), Global Food Safety Initiative and other industry specific requirements that have to be complied with, which can be addressed by using an effective Enterprise Management System that can offer traceability, verifiability and accountability. The services that these systems provide range from document management, auditing or traceability trials, recall management, and maintaining production quality.
The onset of technological advancements, especially in the emergence of cloud-based Saas platforms that offer convenience, efficiency and cost reductions are revolutionizing the food industry. According to a report by Grand View Research Inc, the global restaurant management software market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.6% to reach USD 6.94 billion by 2025. The growth in the market will be driven by increasing adoption of technology to automate mundane error-prone tasks that can be better performed by automation resulting in reduction in labor and cost savings.
In addition the need to streamline processes to simplify operations and achieve regulatory compliance in areas such as inventory management, payment processing, labeling compliance etc will propel the demand for these services further.
