PathSpot provides a cloud‑native health and safety operating system that combines a handheld hand‑contamination scanner with real‑time analytics. The scanner detects residual microbes and chemicals after hand washing and sends results to a secure cloud platform that generates threshold alerts, anomaly detection and actionable recommendations via SMS, email or app, while a dashboard offers hierarchical reporting and API integration with POS and HACCP systems.

Problem
Food service and hospitality operators rely on manual hand‑wash audits and periodic inspections, which are time‑consuming, prone to human error, and provide only delayed visibility into contamination events. This lag hampers compliance with food‑safety regulations and increases the risk of food‑borne illness outbreaks. Without real‑time data, managers cannot intervene quickly to correct unsafe hygiene practices.
Solution
PathSpot delivers a cloud‑native Health and Safety Operating System that couples a handheld contamination scanner with the SafetySuite Hub analytics platform. Employees scan their hands after washing, and the scanner instantly detects residual contaminants using optical and biochemical sensing. Scan results are transmitted to a secure cloud service where threshold monitoring, anomaly detection, and a recommendation engine generate actionable alerts via SMS, email, or in‑app notifications. Managers access a unified dashboard that aggregates data at the employee, store, and enterprise levels, enabling drill‑down analysis, audit export, and compliance reporting. Permission controls allow granular data sharing across roles, while the system’s API integrates with existing POS or HACCP workflows to embed hygiene metrics directly into operational processes.
Target Audience
Primary customers are multi‑unit restaurant chains, commercial kitchen operators, food manufacturers, and hospitality venues that must meet stringent food‑safety standards and monitor employee hygiene at scale.
