ShellNewHandler VS Evidlane

Evidlane's answer:

• Evidlane is currently onboarding its first cohort of food processors and co-packers under our 60-Day Design Partner Pilot program.
• In accordance with our customer NDAs and privacy commitments, specific food manufacturing brands are kept confidential during active audit pilot deployments.

Evidlane's answer:

Evidlane is engineered with a modern, enterprise-grade cloud stack: - Frontend & API: Next.js (App Router), React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS - Database & ORM: PostgreSQL (Neon serverless), Prisma ORM - Authentication & Multi-Tenancy: Clerk (with row-level tenant isolation) - Encrypted Storage: Cloudflare R2 (S3-compatible private encrypted object vault) - Scheduled Automation: Background reminder engines for 30/14/7-day document expiry loops

Evidlane's answer:

Legacy enterprise compliance suites (like TraceGains or heavy ERPs) cost $15,000–$40,000/year, require 8–24 weeks of consulting, and force suppliers into complex password-walled portals where submission rates drop.

Evidlane takes the opposite approach: - 10-minute self-serve onboarding via standard CSV Approved Supplier List (ASL) import. - Zero supplier onboarding resistance because vendors upload directly from mobile or desktop in under 60 seconds. - Transparent, low-risk pricing starting at $199/month with no multi-year lock-in.

Evidlane's answer:

Evidlane is purpose-built for: - Quality Assurance (QA) Managers, Food Safety Directors, and PCQIs (Preventive Controls Qualified Individuals) at small-to-mid-sized food manufacturing plants. - Food ingredient processors, co-packers, and private label food brands managing between 30 and 500 active suppliers. - Food facilities complying with SQF Edition 9, BRCGS Issue 9, FSSC 22000, and FDA FSMA 204 requirements who currently track supplier documents in spreadsheets.

Evidlane's answer:

After analyzing operational bottlenecks in food plants, we realized that while food safety regulations are legally non-negotiable, over 80% of facilities still manage supplier certificates, allergen statements, and COAs across broken Excel files and buried email threads.

When third-party auditors arrive, QA teams lose days scrambling to gather proof. Enterprise QMS software is too heavy and expensive for plant-floor realities. We created Evidlane as a focused, lightweight pipeline to do one thing exceptionally well: take food facilities from spreadsheet chaos to audit-ready evidence in minutes.

Evidlane's answer:

Evidlane is built with three strict architectural principles: 1. Zero-Login Vendor Access: External suppliers upload compliance documents via single-use, 32-byte cryptographic links without creating or maintaining portal accounts. 2. Decoupled QA Governance: Document health (missing, expiring, current, expired) is tracked automatically, but approval authority strictly remains an explicit human PCQI decision. 3. Immutable Audit Trails: Every upload, status change, review decision, and reminder is written to tamper-proof audit events with SHA-256 verification.
