SOP Maker
SOP Maker is a web tool for building, numbering, authorising, and printing controlled Standard Operating Procedures.
What SOP Maker is
SOP Maker is a web tool for building, numbering, authorising, and printing controlled Standard Operating Procedures. Each SOP can record prepared-by and authorised-by details, a revision number, dates, and Draft, Review, or Approved status. Finished procedures print to A4 PDF with per-page footers and steps kept together across page breaks. The editor includes 158 icons for PPE, cleaning tools, controls, and chemical classes. The tool is intended for teams that need documented, auditable procedures, including food sites working with BRCGS and HACCP audits. SOP data stays in the browser and, when connected, can also be stored in a folder chosen on the user's computer or shared drive. The maker says content is not sent to or stored on a server, and that the tool makes no AI calls or external network requests with user content. Creating or saving SOPs requires desktop Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Firefox, Safari, phones, and tablets can open and print issued procedures but cannot create or save them. The downloadable toolkit can run offline after being unzipped and opened; the hosted version works offline after the page loads.
