Product data capture is often slow and manual

Foodservice teams rely on accurate product data for recipes, allergens, nutrition, menu planning, purchasing, and compliance-related workflows. But supplier information often comes in different formats — from packaging and product labels to PDF specification sheets and Excel files.

Manually entering this information takes time, increases the risk of inconsistencies, and slows down product setup and updates.

SmartScan helps simplify this process.

What SmartScan can extract

  • Product name and description
  • Ingredient information
  • Allergen information
  • Nutrition values
  • Packaging and unit details
  • Supplier-provided product information
  • Other relevant product data from the source material
