Industries / Coffee roasters
From green bean to sealed bag — traceable, documented, audit-ready.
Roasting looks simple from the outside. But a roaster carrying SQF or another GFSI certification has the same evidence burden as any food manufacturer: traceability from green-coffee lots through roasting and packaging, allergen and labeling control on flavored or co-packed lines, sanitation, and a documented system that holds up on audit day. CAT-I.AI keeps all of it connected.
Whether you roast single-origin micro-lots or run high-volume contract roasting, certification holds you to the same standard. These are the pressures roasters describe to us.
Green coffee arrives in identifiable lots, gets blended, roasted, and packed. When a question comes — a customer claim, a supplier issue — you have to trace a finished bag back to its green lots, and forward from a lot to everywhere it shipped.
Roast profiles, batch logs, net weights, seal checks, and date coding are your evidence that each run met spec. On paper they scatter across the floor; on audit day they have to line up.
Flavored coffees, dairy or nut adjuncts, and co-packing introduce allergen cross-contact and label-accuracy risk. Roasters running shared lines are expected to control it and verify it.
Importers, decaf processors, flavor houses, and packaging suppliers all carry documentation you are expected to keep current — certificates, specifications, and approvals.
One connected platform across the records a coffee roaster has to keep — so evidence lives together, and readiness is a daily state instead of an audit-week scramble.
Trace lots backward to origin and forward to every blend, roast batch, and shipment — with hold-and-release when something needs to stop.
Digital batch records, net-weight and seal checks, and date-code capture tied to each run — retrievable in seconds, not boxes.
AI-drafted SOPs and food safety plans, version control, and training tied to the current procedure for every roaster and packer.
Master sanitation schedules, pre-op checks, chemical and SDS records, and pest control logs kept current and signed.
Allergen mapping for flavored and co-packed lines, label artwork approval, and verification that the right label is on the right bag.
Approved suppliers, certificate and specification tracking, automated document requests, and structured corrective actions that actually close out.
