Goodwill Picks Inspect2GO at Naval Station Great Lakes for Food Safety Inspection App Using iPad


(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) March 13, 2012 Inspect2GO’s Food Safety Inspection App (http://www.inspect2go.com/food) has been selected by Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin, Inc. (Goodwill Great Lakes), for inspection of Galleys at Naval Station Great Lakes. The iPad-based software eliminates paperwork and improves efficiencies in logging all information electronically, during kitchen/galley inspections.



This specific application is configured for daily, weekly and monthly inspections. The food safety inspector walks through the kitchen/galley following an extensive checklist. Items are checked and notes/images are taken where issues arise. Previously, these food safety inspections were performed using a clipboard and a separate camera. With Inspect2GO’s app, paperwork is reduced, the process is streamlined and the data is stored accurately and permanently.
