NOTTINGHAM, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#ESG--Ideagen, a trusted name in global compliance technology, is uniting three industry-leading food safety platforms – Authenticate, Safefood 360° and its existing supplier management solution (formerly Qadex) to create an integrated, end-to-end compliance and transparency solution for global food and beverage brands. 
This powerful combination delivers unmatched coverage across food safety, ESG, supply chain mapping and regulatory compliance in one unified ecosystem.
Ideagen Food & Beverage Solutions will deliver unmatched "farm-to-fork" visibility, ensuring food safety, ethical sourcing, ESG compliance and regulatory alignment at every step of the supply chain.
This launch addresses an increasing demand for solutions that meet growing regulatory requirements and the need for sustainable and transparent food systems.
Ideagen CEO Ben Dorks said: “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."
