Why HACCP is challenging for small and mid-sized businesses - We realize that small and medium sized businesses do not always have: (1) system-oriented staff; (2) time; (3) tools; and (4) training to write the plan.  We estimate that at least 25% of the time spent writing a HACCP plan is wasted on formatting.  And while some software can resolve this by providing users with fillable fields, most does not provide real-time collaboration tools, which means only one person can work on a section of the plan at a time.  The absence of advanced project management features also means that there is no agenda for dividing and completing the work. 

There are Solutions!  Leverage affordable technologies! ... the TOOLS are free! (or nearly so - Google Apps for Work has an upgrade of $50/user/year)
