Audit-Ready Compliance for Food & Drink Manufacturing

ECAT digitises food safety checks and audits, helping manufacturers maintain standards and pass inspections with confidence.

Built for the factory floor. Trusted by quality teams. Ready for every audit.

ECAT gives food & drink manufacturers a simple, frontline tool that ensures hygiene, safety, and compliance checks are completed properly, with clean, traceable data that’s always audit‑ready.

You already have the systems. The risk is in the gaps.

In a high-pressure, high-risk environment, a single missed check can shut down a line, damage customer trust, and jeopardise revenue. And when the pressure’s on, paper can creep back in, data gets scattered, and frontline checks aren’t always completed the same way across shifts or lines.

The result?
Audit prep becomes reactive, issues escalate before they’re seen, and proving standards are followed every day becomes harder than it should be.

You know the standards are right, the challenge is proving they’re applied consistently and under pressure.

Where ECAT Fits

ECAT doesn’t replace your QMS or HACCP systems.

It fits alongside them as the operational layer that ensures hygiene, safety, and GMP checks are completed correctly on the factory floor.

By making frontline checks fast and foolproof, ECAT ensures issues are escalated instantly, and clean, reliable data flows back into the systems you already trust.

The result is simple: consistent standards, real-time visibility, and audit-ready confidence — even when the pressure is high.

Heather Andrews Venue Housekeeping Manager, OCS

I honestly sat back in my chair on the first meeting with Olaf as he was explaining ECAT with the biggest grin, to be like finally an auditing tool that gets it and works with the user(s).

Colm Farrell Health & Safety Manager, Tesco

Decisions are now based on detailed, real time information. Before we either didn’t manage to record this data or it was inaccessible.

John Irvin Commercial Director & General Manager, Stresslite

We have been using the ECAT software for a number of years now and it is pivotal to our Quality Management System and the delivery of a fit for purpose QA/QC system. Throughout this period the ECAT support team are always on hand and prompt in dealing with any queries or updates that arise. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the software platform to anyone looking to enhance their quality control operations.

Martha Aoe Account Director, Sodexo

Some of our key issues were cost of entry, ease of use, minimal training requirement, quality tech support and the ability to deal with multiple and varied audit processes across a wide range of client sites. ECAT allowed our staff to take control of the system and make it their own.

Krzysztof Kowalski Operations Manager, Primeline

The support provided by the ECAT team is excellent. Any changes or requests are usually completed the same day, or by the following day if submitted later in the afternoon. The audit system has become an important part of our operation, giving us access to all the data and information we need in one central place.

Luke Johnson Head of Health and Safety, Samsic

David from ECAT support has played a vital role in implementing various projects and innovations, many of which without his dedication and second to none knowledge of the system would not have been possible. His problem solving has also been crucial to getting ideas from the page built into the system and rolled out into practice.

Tom Tatham Account Director, OCS

Working with ECAT has been seamless, quick and easy. The system has won the hearts of the Ops teams; they find it so much more user friendly than other systems. The client has seen a huge benefit from our move to ECAT, especially from the reporting side.

Aisling Duggan EQHS Manager, Derrycourt

The EQHS team has worked very closely with ECAT over the years to develop and implement industry-specific and site-specific audits on all our contracts... I would highly recommend ECAT
