Why it matters

The audit scramble is usually an evidence problem

Food and beverage teams already manage the food safety program. Valent helps with the evidence layer around suppliers, ingredients, certifications, traceability, customer requests, and audit packets.

A customer asks for allergen, origin, certification, and ingredient evidence by end of day.

A supplier certificate expires before the next SQF, BRCGS, customer, or retailer audit.

FSMA 204 traceability records have to be producible on a 24-hour request, but the lot data sits across suppliers and spreadsheets.

QA knows a COA, spec, or letter of guarantee exists, but not which version is current.

Use cases

Where Valent fits

Valent sits between suppliers, documents, reviewers, and customer requests so evidence stays current before the audit window opens.

Supplier Evidence Hub

Track approvals, certifications, risk level, contacts, expiration dates, insurance, letters of guarantee, country-of-origin docs, FSVP evidence, and corrective actions.

Ingredient Evidence Hub

Keep specs, COA requirements, allergen declarations, nutritional info, organic, kosher, halal, non-GMO, packaging, origin, and approved supplier records connected.

Audit Packet Builder

Assemble customer, retailer, SQF, BRCGS, certification, and internal review packets from current source evidence.

Customer Request Inbox

Turn inbound documentation requests into structured tasks, available evidence, missing proof, and response packets.

FSVP Binder

Keep supplier verification records, risk assessments, verification activities, corrective actions, and supporting evidence ready for review.

How it works

From scattered evidence to controlled release

Valent keeps supplier and ingredient evidence usable, current, mapped, approved, and ready for audits, FSMA 204 traceability requests, or customer requests while your core food safety, traceability, and operating systems stay where they are.

01

Collect supplier, ingredient, certification, and customer request evidence into one workspace.

02

Classify documents and map them to supplier, ingredient, audit, FSVP, or customer requirements.

03

Monitor expiration dates, missing fields, outdated specs, and open corrective-action evidence.

04

Assemble the right packet for the customer, retailer, certification body, or internal review.

05

Route AI-drafted responses and external releases through human approval with an audit trail.

Implementation

What implementation looks like

Valent turns that request into a requirement map, connects the supplier and ingredient evidence behind each line, and keeps it current so the next SQF, BRCGS, or customer audit does not restart the work.

01

Map the audit or customer request

Translate the SQF, BRCGS, FSVP, customer, or retailer requirements into a requirement-level evidence map.

02

Connect supplier and ingredient evidence

Approvals, certificates, specs, allergen and origin records, and lot and traceability data are organized around the requirements they support.

03

Set review and release gates

Supplier chases, corrective actions, and packet releases stop for QA approval before anything goes out.

04

Monitor expirations and traceability gaps

Expiring certificates, stale specs, and missing lot records surface as review items before the audit window opens.

Implementation starts with the customer request your team is already answering.

Valent turns that first packet into the rollout: the requirements to map, the evidence to connect, the reviewers to assign, and the controls that keep release safe.
