EDI for Woolworths & Coles, with MYOB and Xero

HARPS & Freshcare audit evidence
The Harmonised Australian Retailer Produce Scheme (HARPS) sets food-safety requirements shared by the major supermarkets, on top of a base certification such as Freshcare. Producepak records receivals, QC, corrective actions, hygiene checklists and dispatch as they happen, so mock recalls and audit reports take minutes.
Rejections and the Food and Grocery Code
Load photos, temperature and QC records, and accurate dispatch data give you evidence when a delivery is rejected or a deduction is disputed – useful under the mandatory Food and Grocery Code of Conduct (in force since 1 April 2025).
