🔍
GMP Inspections
Configurable GMP inspection templates for walk-throughs across your production areas. Works offline on the factory floor — photos, voice notes and responses sync automatically when you reconnect. Voice notes are transcribed into evidence. Raises NCs automatically and tracks overdue schedules without a spreadsheet in sight.
⚠️
Non-Conformance Management
Every NC logged, assigned, tracked and closed through a structured workflow. Root cause analysis and corrective actions recorded against each finding. Evidence upload included as standard.
📅
Audit Programme Builder
Build your annual internal audit programme against BRC section schedules. Tracks progress through the cycle, flags overdue sections, and keeps your programme visible to whoever needs to see it.
✅
Proactive Actions
Log improvement actions independently of NCs. Assign owners, set due dates, track completion. Keeps your continuous improvement programme visible to the whole team — not just the person who raised it.
📊
PDF Reports
Generate audit reports, NC summaries and management review packs as PDFs. Ready for your next BRC audit or senior management meeting. No copy-paste, no reformatting, no last-minute scramble.

AuditCore audit programme: seven BRC audit events for the year with risk level, audit mode, clause count, status, scheduled date and auditor

The 2026 programme for one site: every audit event, its clauses and who is doing it.

Both disciplines, one system

Your food safety runs on a system.
Your health & safety runs on a shared drive.

In most UK food factories that gap exists for one reason: food safety has an external auditor arriving every year, and health & safety usually does not. AuditCore closes it without a second subscription.

📐
ISO 45001 and HSG65, pre-loaded
21 sections and 81 questions for ISO 45001, and the HSE’s own Plan-Do-Check-Act framework for HSG65. Build an annual safety audit programme the same way you build your BRC one — Smart Group proposes the categories, you adjust them.
🗂️
One register, filtered by discipline
A safety finding gets the same treatment as a food safety NC: a severity, an owner, a due date, a root cause, a preventive action and a separate person to verify the close. Switch Focus to see food safety, health & safety, or both together.
🏷️
Included, not an upsell
Health & safety is part of the same per-site subscription. There is no safety module to buy, no per-seat charge for the supervisor who only does safety tours, and no second login for the SHE manager covering three sites.

Intelligence layer

Most audit software tells you what happened. AuditCore tells you why it keeps happening.

Once your site has a few months of audit data, AuditCore starts connecting the dots. The NC Analytics dashboard shows your NC trend by severity, your top failing clauses, and breakdowns by area, source and auditor — filterable by site, standard and period.

And it watches so you don't have to: when the same clause picks up two or more NCs within twelve months, AuditCore flags it as a repeat finding and alerts your site admins automatically — before your next BRC visit finds it first.

Root cause analysis still needs a human. AuditCore points your team at the right place. Included on every plan, live today — with deeper pattern detection shipping to all customers as it lands.

Who built this

Built by someone who has sat in front of BRC auditors for 30 years.

AuditCore was built by Anthony Oakes — 30 years in UK food manufacturing at Kerry Foods, Müller, Campbell Soup and Florette/Agrial, running HACCP teams, leading BRC audits and managing food safety programmes across multi-site operations.

The workflows, the NC severity levels, the two-phase CAPA structure, the clause references — they weren't designed by a product team that read the standard once. They were designed by someone who has run these audits and seen what actually fails.

Common questions

FAQ

What is AuditCore?
AuditCore is internal audit management software for UK food manufacturers. It covers BRC Issue 9 system audits, GMP inspections, non-conformance management, proactive actions and PDF reporting — plus an intelligence layer that identifies patterns in your NC history. Every feature is included on every plan, from £59 per site per month.
Are all features included on every plan?
Yes. You are not choosing between features when you pick a plan — you are choosing how many users you need. System audits, GMP inspections and NC management are included on the £59 Starter plan, exactly the same as the £149 Professional plan. The only difference between plans is how many users are included.
Does AuditCore include BRC Issue 9 audit questions?
Yes. AuditCore comes pre-loaded with BRC Issue 9 system audit questions, written in plain auditor-friendly language. You do not need to build your own question sets or interpret the standard yourself.
How does the per-site pricing work?
Each site has its own subscription. You pick the plan based on how many users are at that site. A 4-user site pays £59/month. A 12-user site pays £99/month. If you have three sites, each site gets its own plan. No volume surcharge, no setup fee, no minimum term.
How does AuditCore handle non-conformances?
NCs raised during GMP inspections or system audits are automatically logged, assigned to a named owner and tracked through to close-out. Root cause analysis and corrective actions are recorded directly in the system. AuditCore's intelligence layer then analyses NC patterns across your site history — surfacing which clauses, areas and teams are generating the most repeat findings.
Can I use AuditCore alongside SafetyCore?
Yes — and it makes sense to. SafetyCore manages your HACCP plans, risk assessments and BRC prerequisite programmes. AuditCore manages your internal audit programme. They are built by the same team for the same Technical Manager. Together they cover the full BRC Issue 9 compliance stack.
What happens during the free trial?
You get full access to AuditCore for 14 days without entering a payment card. All features, no restrictions. If you decide to continue, you choose your plan and subscribe. If not, your account is simply paused — nothing is charged (we never took a card), and your audits, NCs and evidence stay safely stored. Subscribe later and you pick up exactly where you left off. No chasing, no invoice.
Is there a contract or minimum term?
No. AuditCore subscriptions are monthly and you can cancel any time. No setup fees, no annual lock-in, no exit penalties.
Your next BRC audit is closer than you think.
