Every food and feed manufacturer recognises this friction: most effort today goes into proving quality, not doing real quality. While teams do the hard work of building world-class quality handbooks, policies and procedures the underlying tools do not talk to each other. The answers exist, but they are trapped across different systems.
Backbone solves this. Built specifically for food and feed quality teams, Backbone is an AI platform that connects the data you already have in ERPs, emails, spreadsheets, lab and document management systems. From there, it continuously maps live operations against customer requirements and global GFSI standards like BRCGS, IFS and FSSC 22000.
With that data connected, quality teams get:
- Customer questionnaires answered in under an hour instead of days, with sources mapped and human decisions flagged
- Audit preparation that runs continuously, so the audit confirms what you already know
- Recipe and spec checks against client criteria, food safety requirements or safety alerts before changes leave the building
- Proactive risk detection that surfaces potential issues before they reach production
- A secure quality assistant that answers your team’s daily questions on standards, specs and suppliers, using only approved company data
No migration, no lengthy IT implementation, Backbone works on top of the systems you already have.

Nulogy gives quality teams one place to run audits, non-conformances and CAPA, documents and supplier audits, with the same standards and scoring at every site. Checks run on a mobile app that works offline. When something fails, Nulogy opens a non-conformance with an owner and a due date, then tracks it through root cause to a verified fix. Every record is time-stamped, so audit prep means pulling a report, not chasing evidence. Teams start from ready-made BRCGS, GFSI and ISO templates and adapt them without IT.
The results: a 300-store grocery group cut reporting time by 60% and completes audits 4x faster. A 180-site food distributor recovers more than $4 million a year in raw material claimbacks.
