In their own words
Beacon
Beacon is a cloud-based food safety management platform for food manufacturers, restaurants, and co-packers. Its modules cover food safety, quality and improvement, operations, document control, supply chain, production and inventory, label compliance, audits, and Audit-Ready AI. Beacon AI searches facility documents, cites SQF requirements, drafts SOPs, and can create tasks and follow-ups through conversation. Changes the AI makes to tenant records are recorded in an append-only evidence trail, including the model, sources read, actions taken, and human review. The AI drafts; human signatures remain required for hazard classifications, product releases, and supplier approvals. Digital forms, checklists, and monitoring tasks are designed for plant-floor tablets and phones. Connection options listed include QuickBooks Online import, webhooks, a REST API, read-only MCP, and SAML SSO. SystemPath says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based, and tenant data is not used to train shared models. Pricing is by custom proposal; there is no free plan or trial.
