How it works

  1. Step 1

    Set up in minutes

    Choose your country and type your business’s name and address. The app loads that country’s rules and its language.

  2. Step 2

    Record in seconds

    Tap a fridge and type or say the temperature. If something is wrong, the app asks what you did to fix it. Add a photo if you like.

  3. Step 3

    Show the inspector

    One tap makes a full pack of your records, photos and fixes, or a secure link the inspector opens on their phone.
