Provision Analytics and Grupo Delcen Food Safety today announced a strategic partnership that will enable Grupo Delcen to distribute, implement, and support Provision’s food safety software.
Grupo Delcen provides consulting services for food safety management systems. The company’s solutions are well-known in areas such as staff training, supplier assessment, and contamination defense, helping food and beverage companies enhance compliance for GFSI certifications and government regulations. Over the last 30 years, Grupo Delcen’s clientele have grown to include industry leaders such as Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Grupo Bimbo, Alsea, La Moderna, Grupo Lala, and Cuervo, among others.
While many such food and beverage companies have existing digital solutions for inventory, logistics, and other aspects of their business, most are still using an unspecialized combination of paper and spreadsheet for food safety record-keeping.
Using Provision’s cloud software, Grupo Delcen can now digitize and partially automate the food safety management systems it designs for clientele.
The software allows companies to set automatic rules, instructions, and deadlines in simple digital records, thereby limiting and detecting compliance mistakes. Provision records harmonize with supplier approvals, policies, and product specifications, and many operating locations can be unified in one customizable hub for reporting. This makes it faster to complete audits, and easier to analyze process data for compliance insight.
“Provision is designed to be intuitive for even the least technical operators. By streamlining how process data is captured, linked, and analyzed, Provision clients don’t only enhance safety – they also improve their control of quality and cost. This partnership fits perfectly with our service portfolio and we are excited to introduce this digital solution to our clientele across Latin America.”

CEO, Grupo Delcen Food Safety
Provision released translation functionality in early 2022, allowing its software to be used in English, French, and Spanish. This has furthered its global adoption with clients such as Chata, one of Mexico’s largest manufacturers of packaged foods spanning burritos, meat, rice, and more.
With Grupo Delcen, Provision will now benefit from multi-lingual support staff and localized services for software training and configuration. Together, the two companies’ employees span 16 countries in North, Central, and South America.
“Grupo Delcen is a globally-recognized expert in food safety. By harmonizing our services and software, we can accelerate global adoption for an improved management system – one that reduces manual review and human error, instead giving food safety managers the tools to work smarter.”
