Food & beverage processing
Every line running before the first case ships.
…and the sanitation shift stops being the one nobody's watching.
Production runs on a clock: a line that starts short costs the client money before the first case ships. Kordis confirms the day line and the overnight sanitation crew before the plant's doors open, stages backfill the moment someone drops, and keeps the food handler certificate, the one credential every client's auditor checks, current and on file. Food processors report more than 50,000 unfilled positions and $3.7 billion a year in lost revenue to vacancies (Food Processing Skills Canada). The agency that starts every line on time, with a clean file, keeps the client.
Your week
The week you know. Handled.
The 5 a.m. line start with an empty station
Instant Cover: A cutter calls in sick and the line is short before the first case rolls, day shift or the sanitation crew that runs after it. Kordis calls, confirms, and stages backfill from your qualified bench, waiting for your OK. You find out it was handled, not that it happened.
Onboarded before the first shift
Hired Monday, onboarded on his phone that night: quiz passed, food handler certificate filed, on the line Wednesday. The link goes out the moment you tap Hire.
A lapsed certificate is a line in the client's audit, not a policy problem
AutoFile: Food handler certificates, WHMIS, and allergen training tracked per worker, dispatch blocked the moment one lapses. The plant's next audit doesn't ask whether your policy exists, it asks whether the paper does, and a gap shows up with your agency's name on it. the Renewal Clock sends renewal texts at ninety days, two weeks, and three days before anything expires, so the usual outcome is a renewed certificate, not a finding.
Friday's hours, without the re-typing
Five-Minute Payroll: Line hours and sanitation hours land in one place, match to your workers, and leave as a payroll-ready file: no re-typing into a second system, no numbers falling between tools. Your payroll provider stays exactly where it is.
The plant wants the same cutters back
A trimmer who knows this plant's line speed is worth more than a stranger with the same certificate. Pin your regulars and they hold their line without a nightly confirmation text. When Kordis has to cover, it ranks who's worked this floor before, and shows you why.

Time and money
The certificate chase and the 5 a.m. and 2 a.m. cover calls come off your desk every single week.
And the part that's yours
You walk onto the floor knowing every file is clean, and the line starts on time whether you're standing there or asleep.
Compliance Kordis tracks for you
Audit-ready without thinking about it.
- Food handler certificate, recorded + expiry-gated
- WHMIS current
- Allergen / HACCP awareness training
- Hygiene and PPE attestation (hairnet, gloves, steel-toe where required)
Because Kordis is the only AI built just for staffing, the rules for food & beverage processing staffing are baked in, not bolted onto a general tool that's guessing.

Questions owners ask
About food & beverage processing staffing.
What software do food and beverage processing staffing agencies use in Canada?
Most run a scheduling app, a certificate spreadsheet, and a group chat for confirmations, with the office manually stitching the three together. Purpose-built options sit at either end: recruiting suites built for large agencies, and shift apps built for a single employer. Kordis is aimed at the middle, at Canadian agencies of 25 to 200 workers placing crews into plants and cold storage.
How do you cover a sanitation-shift no-show at 2 a.m.?
The worker texts one number, or Kordis notices the shift is unconfirmed and starts calling first. It works the ranked list of people who hold a current food handler certificate and can reach the plant, by call and text at once, and stages the cover for your OK. You wake up to who is going, not to a gap on the line.
Can it track food handler certificates, WHMIS, and allergen training?
Yes, each with its own expiry window, and dispatch is blocked the moment one lapses rather than flagged for someone to notice later. Workers get renewal texts before the date, so the usual outcome is a renewed certificate rather than a worker turned away at the plant gate, or a finding on the client's next audit.
Does Kordis work for meat processing, produce packing, and cold storage, not just warehousing?
Yes. The credentials, shift shapes, and even the language differ (the sanitation shift, the cooler, the cut floor) but the mechanics are the same: confirm the crew ahead of time, cover a drop-out fast, and keep the certificate that gates dispatch current. The client and role live on one record, whatever the plant makes.
