Food safety is deadly serious of course, but compliance can also be boring and monotonous. Not with Shield Safety Group’s cloud-based system it isn’t. With elements of gamification that are loved by its customers it is revolutionising food safety compliance.

It’s “a great little company bringing the difficult stuff that people don’t like doing into one app that’s easy to use,” said one judge. “Foodservice often doesn’t have the best training and often people speak various languages, so to be able to do the auditing of food safety, health and safety, neatly and with elements of gamification was excellent”.

Another said there was “real cleverness in the way you use it. It’s making it easy, it’s innovative.” And a third added that it’s “not easy to get so many brands to be so enthusiastic. It’s because they have taken something really boring and made it easy and they have all said ‘thank goodness for that’.”
