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.

Response from Victoria Taylor of SafetyChain

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.

(Original )Information
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?

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!

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.

I have not found a portion of Safety Chain that I have not liked. As we continue to grow in our operations, we find more ways to utilize Safety Chain in our day-to-day tasks and more ways to capture useful data for performance reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are currently using Safety Chain to help document and manage our sanitation programs, PM programs, GMP audits, and Internal/External Quality Assessments.

What do you like best about SafetyChain?

I like the ease of the application. I also like how they sync in with ignition which has been helpful in bringing all the data we need at our plant in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SafetyChain?

I dislike that it is not very smooth. Why do you have link, then browser, then other different things out there. It is not very beginner friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Safety chain is solving the problem of paperwork. My company like that even if there is no internet, we are able to use the system offline and then upload the data online when the internet is back on. This cuts back on the number of paper that we use and makes it very easy to find documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

At first I was a skeptic.. when I was told my team needed to switch to using Safety Chain I wasn't on board! As it has grown and improved by listening to its customers, I'm thrilled to make a new form that I can use! It has continued to become more user friendly! They always listen to our complaints and help promptly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SafetyChain?

SafetyChain has been a critical tool for us to lower turnover rate, analyze data and determine cost savings projects, and provide the opportunity for open communication throughout our facilities. The document capabilities allows us to provide all our Programs, SOP, and SSOPs to our team members at the click of a button. The ease of integration has helped make a huge impact. We were able to integrate with our Data Warehouse to have all our data in one source. With this capability we were able to create reports that benefit all aspects of the operation. The ease of use is evident when we see users who are struggling with computers be able to see all the information on their phone and through Dashboards. We have a total of approximately 2,500 records going in to SafetyChain a day with users in Safety, FSQA, Maintenance, Operations, Training & Development, Continuous Improvement, USDA and is used acrossed the entire complex (Feed Mill, Hatchery, Processing Plant, and Livestock) . Implementation was super easy. We were able to implement with our FSQA department in under 90 days. From their the use spread like wildfire and it is now used across the organization. We currently have 518 active users out of 1200 current employees. SafetyChain's customer support is phenomenal! We really haven't had very many issues with the software but in the rare cases something happens they are super quick to respond and have a quick turn around for fixing the issue. They are excellent with answering questions. The customer success team is also so helpful. We have been using SafetyChain since September of 2021 (Implementation go live date) and are still finding new uses for SafetyChain! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SafetyChain?

I really don't have anything I don't like at this time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

SafetyChain has helped us identify processes that were out of control. We were able to implement procedures and solutions to bring the processes into control. We are able to get real time results and take care of issues in real time. This has helped lower our Safety incident rate, lower our turnover, lower product loss and increase yields!
