Checkmate International Assures Food Safety Compliance with PointBase Micro

Checkmate International is one of the world's largest independent consulting, certification and inspection companies in the food industry. Driven by today's growing concerns over the safety of consumables, Checkmate offers a range of services and technologies to ensure that hotel, leisure and food service operators remain compliant with food, premises and health safety regulations.

To properly gather and analyze vital data on food service facilities, inspectors require a sophisticated and complete audit capture system for collecting information. Checkmate has created a comprehensive application capable of gathering the information needed to verify standards compliance and store that information for regular synchronization with central databases.

Originally, Checkmate relied on a proprietary data storage structure, written specifically to run on Psion computing devices. However, this became difficult to integrate with corporate back-end databases and was prone to data corruption. To resolve these problems, Checkmate has now switched to PointBase Micro, a platform-independent relational database optimized for mobile environments. Delivering Java-based portability, an ultra-compact footprint and comprehensive security, PointBase Micro offers Checkmate stable data collection support and rapid turnaround for inspection reports.
