Simple, effective tool accountability and control with KIT

Food & drink manufacturing is fast moving, highly regulated and sensitive to risk. With tools and instruments moving between hygiene zones, shifts and production lines, even a single misplaced item can trigger a foreign body investigation or slow an entire batch.

See KIT In Action!

Many teams still rely on manual systems that create gaps, make audits stressful and reduce confidence in compliance.

KIT gives food & drink producers real time visibility of tool availability, calibration status, location and ownership. It strengthens hygiene zoning and reduces FOD incident risk by making tool movement traceable. Quality and technical teams gain complete digital audit trails aligned with BRCGS, HACCP and ISO 22000 expectations. Maintenance and engineering teams benefit from automated calibration schedules, simple issue reporting and clearer daily routines.

Designed for multi-shift, multi-site operations, KIT scales easily and brings consistency to processes that improve safety, reduce downtime and give leaders the precision and clarity they need to operate efficiently.

Core Benefits

With real time visibility, traceability and automated compliance tools, KIT helps food & drink manufacturers cut downtime, prevent loss and maintain consistently high production standards.

Total visibility and traceability

Full control of equipment across shifts and hygiene zones so teams can find what they need quickly and keep lines running smoothly.

Stronger compliance and audit readiness

Clear, digital calibration records and instant traceability for every tool and instrument, helps teams exceed BRCGS, HACCP and ISO 22000 and retailer audit expectations with far less preparation.

Reduced downtime and risk

Simple workflows that support lean and 5S practices, mapping tool availability, location and condition, so teams avoid unplanned stoppages, unnecessary replacements and the delays caused by searching between zones.

Passing frequent customer and regulatory audits with confidence
Quickly identifying and replacing missing, damaged, or non-compliant tools to prevent compliance risks

Solution

Impact

Testimonial

“KIT’s core strength is that it is visual. The team will happily now go through the toolboxes… They highlight an issue with tooling and we just get it replaced. That speeds the process up massively. It offers more accountability, making sure the audits get done. It’s really easy to use, so you don’t need much training, just a quick how to guide and you’re off”.
