Aspirago software now available to food industry

Next generation software applications developed by Aspirago to help manage supplier food safety auditing and product quality testing data are now available to the global food industry.

Aspirago applications include supplier food safety, product quality, auditing and certification management. Aspirago’s supply chain food safety software was built by food safety experts for the food safety industry and is the culmination of more than ten years of in-field use with major retailers and food suppliers worldwide. A subsidiary of NSF International, it is also backed by NSF International’s nearly 70 years of global food and product safety expertise.

Costco Wholesale, which manages thousands of suppliers worldwide, has adopted Aspirago’s food safety software solution. Costco announced the transition to Aspirago to its suppliers in early July.

Aspirago is designed to help retailers, manufacturers, standard owners and audit companies effectively manage product quality and food safety from suppliers worldwide by providing secure, collaborative Web-based software that aggregates and analyzes their third-party auditing and testing data. This includes multiple audit schemes and requirements consistent with Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmarked food safety standards as well as customized retailer specific audits, while ensuring each customer’s data is secure within their firewall.
