Alert65

Overview

Alert65 is cloud-based food safety and health and safety software for businesses managing compliance across multiple sites. It suits operators that need shared records, site-level access controls and food safety support alongside day-to-day checks. Its breadth is useful, but custom pricing means buyers should confirm both the cost and the reporting setup before committing.

Key features

Digital HACCP plans use consultant-built templates that can be adapted by site or concept. More than 200 consultant-created risk assessment templates include version history, giving teams a structured starting point and a way to track changes. This should suit businesses that want consistent documentation across locations, while still allowing site-level adjustments.

Staff can complete digital checklists and temperature checks, including opening and closing checks, on mobile devices, tablets or desktop. Alert65 also supports corrective actions, inspections and audits, and temperature logs. Food Alert says the system can be accessed offline, which can help teams keep working when a connection is unavailable.

The allergen matrix can be built and updated in the software. Incident tools cover food complaints, accidents and other incidents, with case tracking and uploads for supporting images and documents. A task module highlights outstanding work with green, amber or red priority scores. Training and statutory certification expiry tracking, plus deadline reminders, help managers keep follow-up work visible rather than relying on separate reminders.

For multi-site operations, user permissions restrict access to information relevant to each person's role or business. Food Alert says Alert65 encrypts all data, is ISO 27001 certified and undergoes annual penetration testing. Its in-house food safety advice line is staffed around the clock, and its onboarding team can guide implementation, help build or refine HACCP plans and policies, and provide training workshops. That combination may matter to operators who need expert guidance as well as software; buyers should weigh it against the custom-priced commitment.

Pricing

Alert65 has a paid model with custom pricing. The listed Alert65 plan has no published price; visitors are directed to contact Food Alert for a quote, and a demo is available. There are no published seat or site limits to compare, so multi-site buyers should confirm how pricing scales with locations and users before deciding.

Because there is no free plan or stated trial, Alert65 is a less accessible way to evaluate fit than freemium alternatives. Its value will depend on whether the tailored setup, onboarding and food safety advice justify the quoted cost for your operation.

Platforms

Alert65 is available on Android, iOS and the web. Food Alert says it works across mobile devices, tablets and desktop, including offline access, making it a practical fit for teams that need to record checks away from a desk.

Who it's for

Alert65 is best suited to food businesses overseeing compliance across several sites, particularly those that need adaptable HACCP documentation, risk assessments, daily checks, incident records and task oversight in one system. Role-based permissions support dividing access across teams. A single site seeking a low-cost, self-serve tool may find the custom quote and implementation-led approach harder to justify.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Site- or concept-specific HACCP templates and a library of more than 200 risk assessment templates support consistent documentation without forcing every location into an identical setup.
• Pros: Checklists, temperature records, incidents, tasks and certification deadlines cover a broad set of operational compliance work.
• Pros: Offline access and role-based permissions address practical needs for teams working across locations and devices.
• Pros: Round-the-clock expert advice and guided onboarding add human support for implementation and food safety questions.
• Cons: Custom pricing requires a quote, so operators cannot readily compare the cost against a fixed budget or per-site alternative.
• Cons: No free plan or stated trial makes it harder to evaluate the software without engaging Food Alert.

Alternatives

BipOrder HACCP is worth considering if you want a freemium option with a free plan and trial; its platforms include Android, iOS, web and API access.

Traceo may suit a smaller operation seeking a no-cost start: its free plan covers one establishment and up to 50 HACCP records per month. It has no free trial.

SafePlate offers a free plan for one facility with HACCP checklists, temperature logs, inspection tracking and mobile access, plus a free trial. Consider it if web access and a defined starter scope are sufficient.

Ocapii Digital HACCP is a paid alternative available on Android, iOS, web and API.

GovReady Restaurant is a paid web option with a published monthly plan at £8.99 a month, billed per site, and unlimited staff and device logins; consider it if a stated per-site price matters.

Verdict

Choose Alert65 if you manage food safety across multiple sites and want adaptable compliance records backed by expert advice and guided onboarding. Its main advantage is the combination of broad compliance workflows and support; its main drawback is that custom pricing and the absence of a stated trial make cost and fit harder to judge upfront. If you need a transparent entry price or a free way to start, compare alternatives before requesting a quote.
