KoreLab VS Codegres.org

KoreLab's answer

KoreLab is one of the few tools that brings food costing and food safety compliance together in the same product, instead of forcing artisan producers to juggle spreadsheets for costs and separate paperwork for HACCP.

• Automatic costing: food cost and full production cost are calculated straight from the recipe and batch, with cascading recalculation whenever a supplier's price changes.
• Compliance built in: EU 1169/2011-compliant technical sheets (allergens, nutrition facts) and multi-standard HACCP self-control (ISO 9001, ISO 22000, IFS Food, BRCGS, FSSC 22000) come from the same data, not a separate system.
• Built for the lab floor: designed by people who managed quality and production firsthand in an artisan food lab, plus dedicated collaboration with the food safety consultant.

KoreLab's answer

Most food-costing tools (spreadsheets, KitchenCost, Ratatool) stop at the price of a recipe. Most food-safety tools (FoodDocs, FoodReady, The HACCP app) stop at compliance. KoreLab covers both from the same recipe and batch data:

• No double data entry between your costing sheet and your HACCP manual - one recipe feeds both.
• Cascading recalculation: change one supplier's price and every affected product's cost updates automatically, across the whole catalog.
• Multi-standard support out of the box (ISO 9001, ISO 22000, IFS Food, BRCGS, FSSC 22000), not a single generic checklist.
• A dedicated, PIN-signed workspace for the food safety consultant to collaborate directly, instead of emailing PDFs back and forth.
• Free tier with 5 products and full food cost calculation, no credit card required.

KoreLab's answer

Artisan food producers and their quality advisors, primarily in Italy and the EU:

• Bakeries, pastry shops, pasta makers, dairies and small food brands that need to know the real cost of what they make and stay on top of allergens and nutrition labelling.
• Food safety and quality consultants who support several artisan clients and need a shared, PIN-signed workspace instead of scattered spreadsheets and PDFs.
• Small teams (owner-operators up to a few dozen products) who have outgrown Excel for costing but don't need an enterprise ERP.

KoreLab's answer

KoreLab was built by people who managed quality and production firsthand in an artisan food lab, in the Piedmont region of Italy. The recurring problem was simple to describe and hard to solve: nobody had a reliable, up-to-date number for what a product actually costs to make, and keeping HACCP records, technical sheets and allergen data in sync across spreadsheets and paper was a constant source of errors and wasted time.

KoreLab is the tool the founders wished they had on the lab floor - one place where a recipe becomes both an accurate cost and a compliant product sheet, with the quality module and the consultant working from the same data instead of parallel systems.
