01Current scope
The reading only matters if it becomes a record.
HACCPlan's launch temperature workflow should stay manual and inspection-oriented: record the value, the equipment or product, the person, the time, the threshold, and the corrective action when something is wrong. That is enough to be useful without claiming unbuilt hardware integrations.
What is available now:
- Manual temperature logs. Refrigerator, freezer, walk-in, cooking, cooling, hot-hold, cold-hold, dishwasher, and related checks.
- Corrective-action records. Document what happened when a reading missed the limit and link the action to the record.
- Calibration tracking. Keep thermometer IDs, calibration dates, results, and certificate files with the workspace.
- Inspection binder output. Print or save recent logs, deviations, calibration evidence, and supervisor review records.
- Mobile-friendly browser entry. Use the app from a phone, tablet, or laptop without claiming native mobile or offline sync.
Coming soon:
- Bluetooth probe capture. Direct reading import from supported probes.
- IoT ambient sensors. Walk-in, freezer, hot well, and transport sensor feeds.
- SMS/email alert ladders. Sustained-excursion alerts and manager escalation.
- Probe-photo capture. OCR or AI-assisted reading from thermometer photos.
- Offline mode. Local capture with sync after signal returns.
- Immutable audit trail. Dedicated audit-log implementation for record changes.
02The records
What an inspector checks.
Temperature records need more than a number. A defensible record shows the value, unit, equipment or product, timestamp, person, applicable threshold, corrective action, and verification. The same structure applies whether the rule is FDA Food Code, FSMA preventive controls, USDA HACCP, or SFCR preventive controls.
- 01
Cold and hot holding
Record cold-held and hot-held food against the relevant threshold for your jurisdiction and product.
- 02
Cooking
Record final internal temperature for products where cooking is the control.
- 03
Cooling
Record the staged cooling checks, including corrective action if the cooling curve fails.
- 04
Calibration
Prove the thermometer was suitable for the reading you relied on.
03Launch fit
Where HACCPlan fits today.
HACCPlan fits small operators moving away from paper logs: restaurants, caterers, food trucks, small manufacturers, bakeries, dairy-adjacent processors, and CFIA/SFCR operators. It is not a replacement for a mature IoT monitoring platform today.
Available now
