Inspectle Food

Inspectle Food is a Tallinn-based software company that provides an inspection and task management platform for the food production industry. The product combines a mobile app used by frontline workers and quality staff to record non-conformities visually during hygiene rounds with a web application used by quality managers to manage workflows, monitor departmental performance and access statistics through a cloud-based interface. Findings captured in the field — including photographs, location and descriptive detail — are routed automatically to the responsible person, and corrective actions (CAPAs) are tracked with automated notifications on progress and delays.

The platform is positioned as a replacement for paper forms, Word documents and spreadsheets in GFSI-certified plants. It supports standards including SQF, IFS and FSSC 22000, and the company states it can generate British Retail Consortium (BRC), IFC and FSSC-compliant reports. Use cases span food safety inspections, internal audit inspections, 5S inspections and GMP audits, glass and plastic inspections, work safety inspections, and cleaning and equipment checks. Target verticals listed by the company include bakery, confectionery, poultry, beverages, meat, dairy, ready-made foods and packaging.

Founding story

The platform was created by a team with prior experience in food production, quality management and manufacturing, who cite first-hand exposure to paperwork burden, slow communication and inadequate tools in the industry.

Business model

B2B SaaS sold to food manufacturers, with a mobile application for frontline inspection capture and a cloud web application for quality management and reporting.

Subscription software for food producers; the company offers a free trial with no credit card required before paid use.

Traction

Cited customers include Lallemand, Saarioinen (Saarioinen Eesti OÜ), Rannarootsi and Puratos Latvia, with quality managers at several of these describing use of the mobile app, custom inspection areas and report sharing with auditors and official inspectors. The company reports client outcomes of improved hygiene standards and reduced costs and food waste.

Latest developments

Following the December 2023 pre-seed round, the company continued developing its inspection platform and marketing it under the inspectle.com and inspectle.online domains, with product pages covering food inspection software, food hygiene software and platform workflow.
