All-in-One Food Safety & Quality Management Software Built for the Food & Beverage Industry
Run your laboratory workflows, quality testing, environmental monitoring, raw material release, shelf life studies, & regulatory compliance with LabWare ASSURE.
Trusted by leading food & beverage brands worldwide
Every Area of Food & Beverage Quality, Covered in One Unified Solution.
LabWare ASSURE brings together six core capability areas under a single validated platform, so your team stops managing integrations and starts managing quality.
🔬
Laboratory Management
Sample tracking, test scheduling, instrument integration, result review, and Certificate of Analysis generation. Every testing workflow your food and beverage lab depends on, in one system.
✅
Quality Management
CAPA, non-conformance management, document control, internal audits, and supplier quality. Lab results connect directly to your quality processes without manual handoffs.
🌱
Environmental Management
EMP scheduling, sampling point management, trend analysis, and alert workflows. When a positive environmental result occurs, the investigation workflow starts automatically.
📦
Raw Material & Product Release
Supplier CoA verification, incoming inspection workflows, and automated hold and release decisions. Every batch traceable from raw ingredient intake to finished product dispatch.
The Challenge
One Quality Operation.
Too Many Disconnected Tools.
Most food and beverage labs rely on a mix of standalone systems or point solutions to manage quality. Every handoff between tools creates a risk for errors, compliance gaps, and slower product release.
