Chilliweweni Cold Storage is a third-party logistics company specializing in the storage and management of temperature-sensitive goods. As demand for their services grew, so did the complexity of their operations—including a larger fleet of delivery vehicles, expanded facilities, and stricter compliance requirements.
Until September 2024, Chilliweweni relied on manual paper-based inspection checklists to manage compliance and safety. But with increased volume and tighter food safety regulations, this system became unsustainable.
As Jacques from Chilliweweni’s leadership team explained:
“AssetPool has empowered our leadership team to identify recurring issues, assess employee performance, and implement preventive actions more effectively.”
He added:
“AssetPool’s digital trail ensures real-time visibility of all inspection records, which has significantly enhanced our ability to comply with FSSC 22000 V6 and OSHA standards.”
The Shift to Digital: Eliminating Bottlenecks
Recognizing the limitations of their old system, Chilliweweni Cold Storage implemented AssetPool’s smart inspection software—a move that immediately transformed how they operate and report on compliance.
AssetPool now powers real-time inspections and digital record-keeping across their entire facility, including:
-
Cold rooms and blast freezers
-
Truck yards and vehicle fleets
-
Forklifts, body harnesses, scanners, and tablets
-
Washrooms, locker rooms, and staff canteens
-
Administrative offices and plant rooms
Every area of the business is now included in a centralized, cloud-based inspection platform, enabling faster, more accurate data collection and improved visibility for leadership.
A Digital Compliance Win: Impressing Auditors with Real-Time Records
Shortly after onboarding AssetPool, Chilliweweni underwent a compliance audit. For the first time, they were able to:
-
Present inspection data digitally and instantly
-
Provide historical and real-time records during the audit
-
Eliminate the need to search through paper files
The auditor was notably impressed by the transparency and traceability of Chilliweweni’s digital inspection system—an achievement that would have been impossible with their previous manual process.
