Techs4Biz has developed the Pervidi paperless App for food safety inspectors to make sure their inspection meets safety and HACCP requirements. The mobile app removes the need to carry packets of papers, clipboards and cameras.
The app works on a variety of mobile devices, including iOS and Android tablets and smartphones. The app addresses the limitations of conventional paper-based HACCP inspection methods, including the paperwork that needs to be manually filled in at every stage of the inspection, which can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially when the inspection is being conducted in new site environments.
The app enables food inspectors to use their mobile devices to: enter data using pick lists or speech to text; take photos using the mobile device’s in-built camera; capture electronic signatures; get real-time access to reference material such as instructions, previous inspection history and relevant standards (eg, ISO 22000); send completed report and images back to the office in real time; automatically generate reports on the spot and send to clients; and follow up on required corrective actions.
The app has been configured to suit the inspection requirements of all food safety programs, including pest control, food handling, sanitation checks, equipment calibration and personal hygiene.
