What do you like best about SafetyChain?

Our organization has been looking for a modern solution to data collection and SafetyChain has delivered! It's ease of use for the end user is unparalleled and has been extremely easy for our monitors to adopt. There are an incredible number of features and customizations that can be made using simple coding that make the platform very dynamic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SafetyChain?

SafetyChain is very structured and as a result has seemed to be best designed for a single facility, or small number of facilities. The management of the resources, users, SKUs etc. for a large enterprise has proven to be a challenge without significant integrations into other programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SafetyChain solving and how is that benefiting you?

SafetyChain is helping us solve the problem of being consistent in the way we audit products across all of our facilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Victoria Taylor of SafetyChain

Thanks for the positive feedback, Aaron! We're glad to hear we've delivered a solution that meets your organization's needs.

What do you like best about SafetyChain?

SafetyChain is helpful as an internal repository. It is great for the quality control and cooking and holds, and less great for document control. SafetyChain LINK is easy to use. I have taught my 60+ year old coworkers and they can use it with ease and independence. Sean Hayes at tech support for SafetyChain is very helpful, attentive, and quick to respond. Our customer support specialist, Val Pecak, is timely, attentive, and quick to respond. He knows the system very well. I use SafetyChain about every day. It is functional and I quite like the Supplier Compliance tab. I like the icons in the menu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SafetyChain?

SafetyChain does not have congruency among its many search boxes. Some you can hit enter, some you cannot, some auto-populate. I did not do the massive overhaul implementation from our previous ERP system to SafetyChain, however, I do work in document control and SafetyChain fails to meet basic standards. When Forms are rejected the documents disappear and the supplier must reupload all documents. The suppliers will not do this, I do it, it becomes treacherously painstaking. The ease of integration is not easy and there is no integration. I cannot even export materials to excel. None of my company's other ERP systems "talk" to SafetyChain. It is standalone. Additionally, I do not know if this has been improved upon, but I had to use multiple emails accounts for LINK, Supplier Portal, Knowledge Base. I would not call that integrative. SafetyChain does not have a document repository like TraceGains, and that is a major lack in my opinion. They also do not translate documents. Although I suppose a perk is that I now know a couple of Polish words. Furthermore, there is no indication of the supplier when an item is approved and emailed to the company. This is a wild oversight and a user should not need to log in to the system and search for the item by the number. Yes, this is easy, but it is not convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SafetyChain solving and how is that benefiting you?

The checkboxes on Supplier Requirements are incredible. This benefits me by allowing me to work more efficiently since there is less clicks and waiting time to be had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Victoria Taylor of SafetyChain

Thanks for the review. We think Val is pretty great too!

What do you like best about SafetyChain?

Safety Chain has allowed me to review data as it happens rather than waiting on a tech to turn in physical papers. This has made it easier to catch mistakes and make course corrections in the processing areas when needed very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SafetyChain?

If we have issues with our Wi-Fi in the facility, we are unable to use Safety Chain and have to fall back on the physical papers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SafetyChain solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has allowed me to review data as it happens. It also displays trends, so I do not have to track those items in another program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Victoria Taylor of SafetyChain

Thanks for the positive review, Jimie! We're glad SafetyChain has enabled you to review data as it happens and analyze trends.

What do you like best about SafetyChain?

Able to create reports very easily and get email notifications when something is non-compliant in real time to provide a corrective action. The communication with customer support is awesome, they are very responsive and always available to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SafetyChain?

I don't dislike it, but I think there is a good opportunity to improve the form creation to be able to add/remove compliant values to multiple resources in a easier/faster way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SafetyChain solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are working in creating APIs to be able to have SafetyChain to connect with our ERP system. This will save us hours of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks for the awesome review, Nelson. We're so glad SafetyChain is making an impact across your entire organization.

What do you like best about SafetyChain?

SafetyChain has a vast web of support for their customers, no matter the issue, problem, or complication. While implementing our system, this team spends countless hours assuring you are provided with the best record keeping software. From cooking to packing, SafetyChain provides a paperless alternative that allows you to easily complete small tasks to the most important records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SafetyChain?

Adding in a "Add all" when assigning individual recources to forms after creating them. Going in and selecting new resouces each time you create new ones can be time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SafetyChain solving and how is that benefiting you?

SafetyChain has helped vastly in our Zero Waste Initiative. We were able to reduce our paper waste by a significant amount and free up storage for other important paper documents. With the changes in the Food Safety industry, SafetyChian has stepped up and added a brilliant way to capture all data from Supplier Compliance to Date Code Checks. Adding in important documents to specific form has made widespread complany updates a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Victoria Taylor of SafetyChain

Thanks for the 5-star review and positive feedback about our customer support and implementation teams. We LOVE to hear that we've helped your zero waste initiative and are reducing paper waste.

What do you like best about SafetyChain?

I have used many different data management programs throughout my career in food manufacturing and by far SafetyChain offers the most customization. Many other programs only allow you to create a test, schedule it, and require a lot of time to closely review those data points. SafetyChain allows you to build your testing with precision, capture and store data that other applications may not (pictures/videos/documentation), and process that data in real time to create useful charts and reports.

SafetyChain's dynamic aproach allows them to be a useful tool for almost any industry. I've been fortunate enought to attend the SafetyChain Customer Summits and have seen just how capable SafetyChain is at helping all companies large and small better utilize their data. Not to mention their amazing customer service, excellent training resources, and ease of use. I use SafetyChain every single day and I know that if I run into any issues, SafetyChain will be there to help me immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SafetyChain?

SafetyChain's endless potential is its greatest strength, but with so many abilities the learning curve can be quite steep. It can take a good amount of time to learn all of the things that SafetyChain has to offer, but fortunately they are aware of that and provide customers with many avenues to learn (Knowledge Base/ Customer Webinars/ One-on-One Coaching/Training Environment). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SafetyChain solving and how is that benefiting you?

In an industry that processes an almost immesurable amount of data, SafetyChain allows our team to review a lot of information in real time to ensure our product is safe and good quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dean, thank you for the thoughtful and comprehensive review (and for the 4.5 stars!) We're glad you're along for the ride with us.

What do you like best about SafetyChain?

Customer support at Safety Chain is excellent. They have clear agendas at meetings and send notes after the meeting with links to learn more about the subject. After the training, Safety Chain continues offering support and answering any questions. The Safety Chain app is simple and easy for employees to understand. Workgroups make the user experience simple and only tasks employees need to see will show in their inbox. Dashboarding allows management to see key metrics at a glance easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SafetyChain?

Safety Chain is migrating to a new browser(Link) that can have some bugs as they update it. It can also be confusing to navigate between Link and the old browser. Sometimes loading records and cases can be slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SafetyChain solving and how is that benefiting you?

Effective organization, visibility, and scheduling are essential for managing paperwork. Paper forms can easily be overlooked and deadlines can be missed. Safety Chain simplifies the entire workflow by scheduling tasks with automated reminders and due dates, ensuring that nothing slips through the cracks.

All paperwork is organized under filterable resources, allowing users to quickly narrow down their search to find exactly what they need. For process-based quality control checks, it's important to categorize your resources effectively. If each form is assigned to a different resource, the purpose of having multiple options for filtering becomes less effective.

Unlike a paper-based system, where locating documents from a year ago can take hours, Safety Chain enables users to find the necessary paperwork in just minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Victoria Taylor of SafetyChain

Thanks for the review, Bobby. We agree - our support team is the best of the best!

What do you like best about SafetyChain?

I like its flexibility and constant evolution. I also like its reactive customer service and its willingness to resolve issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SafetyChain?

I dislike how long the document compliance sections take to load. I rarely go in it. I wish they would have a screening AI or something that assures the vendor is adding the proper document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SafetyChain solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can acccess records when I need to without looking through paperwork. I can download and trend data. I can download documents from compliant vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks for the great review! We're glad we've helped to eliminate paperwork across your operations.

What do you like best about SafetyChain?

SafetyChain makes it easy to ensure company, customer, and regulatory compliance. It's a user friendly system that's easy to mold into what fits best for your company. The company understands compliance is not a one size fits all approach and they are always looking for ways to improve the software. The software makes data collection easy and helps eliminate all the paper-driven processes. Their customer service team is top-notch also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SafetyChain?

With any software, there's bound to be some software glitches, and these have caused issues in the plant with taking real-time data, but these are typically resolved fairly quickly by the customer service support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SafetyChain solving and how is that benefiting you?

real-time data so action can be taken in the moment, easily capture and trend data for reporting to customers, "forced" compliance with food safety-any out of spec value would immediately require corrective action Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Victoria Taylor of SafetyChain

Thanks for the 5 star review! We're happy we can work together to ensure company, customer, and regulatory compliance at your organization. And, thanks for calling out our customer support team, they are our favorite!
