Time lost after the visit
Notes, photographs and findings often need to be reorganised and rewritten before professional documentation can be issued.
INSPECT™ for Local Authorities & EHOs
Complete more food hygiene inspections. Spend less time on administration.
INSPECT™ brings inspections, evidence, documentation and corrective actions into one connected digital workflow, helping Environmental Health teams work more efficiently, consistently and confidently.
Consulted with 150+ EHOs
Trialled with 20+ Local Authorities
The operational challenge
Skilled officers should not be buried in avoidable administration
Environmental Health teams are balancing inspection programmes, backlogs, complex cases, recruitment pressures and growing expectations, with limited time and fragmented ways of working.
Disconnected information
Paper, documents, cameras, inboxes and shared drives can fragment the inspection record and create repeated handling.
Variable approaches
Different templates and working practices make consistency, quality assurance and team-wide visibility harder to maintain.
Pressure to increase capacity
Leaders need credible ways to release officer time, improve oversight and demonstrate the value of digital transformation.
One connected inspection record
Capture once. Keep the work connected.
INSPECT™ supports the operational journey around an inspection, not simply a digital checklist. Information captured during the visit remains connected to professional outputs and follow-up activity.
- Use structured, responsive inspection templates
- Capture findings, notes and supporting evidence together
- Create clear, consistent documentation from the inspection record
- Keep corrective actions visible through follow-up
- Maintain accessible business and inspection history

INSPECT productivity calculator
Live estimate
Estimate the productivity opportunity for your team
Adjust the sliders using your Local Authority figures to explore how time released from inspection administration could support additional service capacity.
Tell us about your service
Move the sliders to model your Local Authority’s current inspection programme.
This models 10.0 inspections per EHO per week and 4,320 inspections per year across the team.
Your illustrative opportunity
Time released into service capacity
5,832
officer hours potentially released each year
Equivalent to approximately 729 officer days, after applying the model’s 60% realisation factor.
Current annual inspection volume
4,320
Modelled potential
8,986
Current volume equals 86% of the business base; the modelled volume equals 180%. This is a scale comparison, not a recommended inspection frequency.
Important: This calculator provides an illustrative productivity scenario only. Released time represents potential capacity—not salary reduction, automatic cash saving or guaranteed inspection output. Actual results depend on demand, case complexity, adoption, implementation and other EHO responsibilities. Validate assumptions using your authority’s data and pilot results.
Purpose-built, not retrofitted
More than an assistant. A connected inspection solution.
INSPECT™ was not adapted from generic auditing or productivity software. It is being built around UK food safety professionals, Local Authority requirements and the realities of inspection work.
Co-designed with practitioners
Shaped through consultation and market testing with EHOs and Local Authorities.
Connected from visit to follow-up
Inspection information stays useful beyond capture, supporting outputs, actions and history.
Flexible around authority needs
Designed to support consistent best practice without pretending every authority works identically.
Implementation-aware
Discovery considers how INSPECT™ should operate alongside or connect with wider corporate systems.
Consistency with professional judgement
Give officers structure without taking away flexibility
Configurable inspection content helps teams establish a consistent foundation, while officers retain the professional judgement needed for real premises and real-world circumstances.
Structured inspection templates
Connected photographic evidence
Clear professional documentation
Visible corrective actions
