One live queue for every sign-off, automatically routed to the right team by Management Groups.
Tasks and Management Groups exist because in most food businesses, a sign-off doesn’t have one clear home: it’s an email forwarded from the technical manager to the commercial lead, sitting in an inbox until someone remembers to chase it. Nothing is technically lost, but nothing is easy to find either, and outstanding approvals quietly pile up out of sight. Food Trace’s Tasks feature replaces that with a single, live queue, of the kind expected under a formal food safety management system, and Management Groups make sure every task lands with the right people from the start.
SAQs, supplier approvals and product spec sign-offs all appear in one consolidated list instead of scattered across spreadsheets and inboxes, with due dates and times making priorities immediately visible and each task linking straight to its corresponding record, no searching required.
Management Groups define who owns which type of workflow, so sign-offs and approvals are routed automatically to the responsible team rather than manually forwarded person to person. Tasks bridge supplier and technical workflows seamlessly, so cross-functional approvals don’t stall at a handover point, including those feeding Supplier Approval.
A live queue means outstanding sign-offs stay visible until they’re actually completed, with a complete audit trail of every approval and its timeline, replacing email-based sign-off chains with something that can be reported on, not just searched.
Tasks and management groups work as a pair. Management groups decide who owns each type of workflow, and tasks put every SAQ, supplier approval and spec sign-off in front of that team with a due date attached. The right people see the right work, and nothing waits in someone’s inbox.
