Less Paperwork. Clearer Compliance.

One Beyond helped Cocoms turn manual temperature records into a web-based reporting service, enabling food and hospitality businesses to reduce administration, monitor issues and maintain reliable compliance records.

At a glance

Rapid Delivery

The system was ready for use within two months of the specification being completed.

Digital Records

Automated data transfer from compatible thermometers replaced paper-based temperature records.

Clear Alerts

Daily reports and configurable emails helped managers identify non-compliant temperatures and missing readings.

New Revenue

Cocoms launched the software as a subscription service, expanding its portfolio and creating an additional income stream.

Early Adoption

Ed’s Easy Diner decided to roll out the solution across its business just four weeks after beginning a trial.

"The accuracy of the system, the fact that it can’t be tampered with, and the ability to keep records indefinitely – and analyse and report from them quickly – is hugely important for the companies we deal with."

About Cocoms

Cocoms is a Leeds-based specialist in health, food and fire safety compliance services and solutions. Established in 2002, it provides consultancy, auditing, crisis management, e-learning and software to help organisations manage their compliance responsibilities. The company continually looks for ways to reduce the time, cost and administration involved in these activities, developing practical services that help clients maintain records, monitor standards and identify areas requiring attention.

The Challenge

Cocoms wanted to address a persistent problem in the food and hospitality industry: the reliance on paper-based temperature records. Manual recording was inefficient, vulnerable to errors and falsification, and difficult to audit. The business needed a reliable way to transfer readings from a compatible digital thermometer into a system that could securely retain, analyse and report on the information. The solution also had to be straightforward for busy teams to use, helping managers identify missing checks and unacceptable temperatures without adding further administrative work.

Our Solution

One Beyond worked closely with Cocoms to develop a web-based temperature recording and reporting system compatible with ETI’s Saf-T-Log thermometer. Readings transferred automatically via USB to a PC, making uploaded records available to managers through secure online access. We added configurable checks, reporting filters and clear status indicators, alongside daily exception reports and optional email alerts. Delivered within two months of the completed specification, the software was hosted on Cocoms’ behalf, removing the need for specialist server hardware and supporting its launch as a subscription service.

"The output is very clear; the beauty of the system is its simplicity. If it was too complicated, clients would soon switch off – they’ve got far too much to think about as it is."
