Ideagen Launches Integrated Food & Beverage Compliance Division
Ideagen, a global leader in compliance and risk management technology, has officially launched a comprehensive new Food & Beverage Compliance Division, uniting three of its industry-leading platforms—Authenticate, Safefood 360°, and its supplier management solution (formerly Qadex). This strategic integration creates a powerful, end-to-end compliance and transparency ecosystem, purpose-built for today’s global food and beverage industry.
This newly formed division, Ideagen Food & Beverage Solutions, is designed to provide unparalleled “farm-to-fork” visibility, helping businesses ensure food safety, ethical sourcing, ESG alignment, and full regulatory compliance throughout every stage of the supply chain.
Meeting Modern Food Industry Demands
The launch responds to an urgent need across the global food sector: growing regulatory pressure, increasing consumer demand for transparency, and the complexity of globalized supply chains. As food systems become more interconnected and subject to evolving legislation, companies are under increasing scrutiny to guarantee safety, ethics, and sustainability from sourcing to distribution.
Ben Dorks, CEO of Ideagen, emphasized the human importance of the work behind this new division:
“We all need to trust that the food and drink we put on our tables to feed our families is safe. For our food and beverage customers, the emphasis they place on safety is key to maintaining trust and loyalty with consumers. Their ability to grow as a business depends on it, but they’re working with increasingly globalised, complex supply chains.”
The new division is built specifically to address those complexities—and to do so with precision, scale, and agility.
Combining Proven Platforms for Greater Impact
By integrating the capabilities of Authenticate, Safefood 360°, and the Qadex supplier management platform, Ideagen now delivers a truly holistic approach to food and beverage compliance. The combination brings together decades of industry-specific knowledge with cutting-edge technology to create a single, unified ecosystem.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Comprehensive Compliance Coverage
Customers gain a fully integrated platform covering food safety, ESG, ethical sourcing, supplier management, and regulatory compliance—all in one place. - AI-Driven Technology
Advanced features like real-time monitoring, AI-powered insights, and automated compliance workflows enable businesses to streamline complex processes and mitigate risk before it escalates. - Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure & Global Reach
With support for over 65% of the world’s top food and beverage brands, Ideagen is well-positioned to offer scalable solutions with robust international support across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. - Future-Proofed Compliance Tools
The solution is designed to help businesses adapt to evolving global frameworks, including FSMA 204 (U.S. Food Safety Modernization Act), the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).
Enhancing Food Safety, Sustainability, and Trust
With this move, Ideagen is positioning itself as a leader not just in compliance technology, but also in shaping the future of ethical and sustainable food systems. The company’s vision goes beyond reactive compliance—it aims to support proactive, data-driven decision-making across the entire food value chain.
The integration enables organizations to better protect their brand reputation, build consumer trust, and respond confidently to regulators and stakeholders alike.
“Integrating these two proven solutions with our existing Ideagen portfolio means we can now provide the most comprehensive supply chain solutions purpose-built to support the food & beverage industry,” added Dorks.
