The shared problem

Food safety work is connected, but the tools often are not

Inspectors, independent professionals and food businesses all contribute to safer food. Too often, their information is split between systems, documents, inboxes, photographs and paper records.

Local Authorities & EHOs

Capacity is lost to administration

Backlogs, limited resources and repeated data handling reduce the time available for risk-based inspection work.

  • Fragmented inspection records
  • Repeated report preparation
  • Limited management visibility

Auditors & Contractors

Professional work relies on generic tools

Paper forms, Word templates and disconnected photographs create extra effort across clients and contracts.

  • Templates rebuilt for each client
  • Manual professional reporting
  • Actions tracked separately

Food Businesses

Compliance can feel difficult to navigate

Reports, actions, documents and evidence can be hard to organise, especially when teams are preparing for an inspection.

  • Uncertainty about requirements
  • Evidence stored in different places
  • Risk to ratings and reputation

The Grape vision

One connected journey from inspection to improvement

We are creating an ecosystem where information remains useful after it is captured, professional findings lead to visible actions and businesses can provide evidence of improvement more easily.

Some connected capabilities are available through INSPECT™ today. Auditor workflows and PREPARE™ for food businesses are currently in development.

01

Inspect or audit

Capture structured findings and evidence through a professional workflow.

02

Report and act

Turn captured information into clear outputs and traceable actions.

03

Evidence improvement
