Yelco Gonzalez is the co-founder of AuditQ, a platform that supports quality and compliance managers in the food industry by centralising rules, procedures, and documentation. Through AuditQ, he focuses on the increasing audit and regulatory pressure in the food sector, where companies must comply with stricter requirements related to food safety, traceability, and reporting, as well as a wide range of certifications and customer demands.
According to Gonzalez, many SMEs still rely on fragmented documentation and manual Excel-based systems, which causes quality managers to spend significant time on administrative tasks. With AuditQ, he aims to digitise and streamline this process by bringing regulations, standards, and internal workflows together in a single AI-driven platform.
AuditQ – helping quality and compliance managers in food food compacnies maintaining oversight
AuditQ is a platform that helps quality and compliance managers in food companies maintain oversight by bringing rules, procedures, and documents together in one central system. In doing so, it reduces the administrative burden amid increasing audit and regulatory pressure in the sector and is designed to make audits and inspections run more smoothly.
Companies in the food industry face inspections from regulatory authorities such as the FAVV, certification schemes such as IFS, additional requirements from retail customers, sustainability labels, and specific standards such as organic and halal. At the same time, regulations around food safety, traceability, and reporting are becoming increasingly strict. Meeting all these requirements is a significant challenge for large companies, and especially for SMEs.
To address this, AuditQ has developed an AI-driven platform that acts as an assistant for quality and food safety teams. The platform brings together regulations, standards, and customer requirements and connects them to a company’s internal documentation and processes. In this way, it creates a single, searchable digital overview of all audit requirements. AuditQ supports the preparation, execution, and follow-up of audits and helps reduce unnecessary audit stress.
