The #1 HACCP app for monitoring your temperatures
Temperature readings for refrigerators and freezers, connected temperature sensors, rapid cooling, operating temperatures, etc. Discover all our solutions dedicated to cold and hot chain control.
Zero paper
Record your temperature readings directly on the app in just one click. No more paper or pens! If there is a non-compliance, you will be alerted directly on the app.
Time savings
Your target or critical temperatures are customized in the app to save you time. For example, for cold chambers, you can adjust the temperature with a single click, and for rapid cooling, the time/temperature ratio is calculated automatically.
Safety
Alert thresholds are defined for all your temperature readings. If a temperature is non-compliant, you are alerted and can select your corrective action from a pre-defined list. With alerts, you are always compliant.Cold enclosure temperatures ❄️
To control the temperatures of your cold rooms and freezers, you have two options:
- Manual checks with the Octopus HACCP app
- Automatic controls with connected temperature sensors
In the event of a temperature problem, you are alerted and can record your corrective actions.
Connected temperature sensors ❄️
Temperature sensors take readings for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Simply place them in your cold rooms and freezers and they will monitor the temperature.
In the event of an anomaly, an alert is sent to you by
The temperature sensors comply with HACCP regulations, giving you peace of mind in the event of an inspection.
Rapid cooling, temperature restoration🌡️
For rapid cooling, Octopus HACCP allows you to record time/temperature readings and ensure that your goods are cooled from 63°C to 10°C in less than 2 hours, with ease, as well as your deep-freezing operations.
For reheating, the app automatically calculates the time/temperature combination needed to go from +10°C to +63°C in less than an hour.
If you exceed the time limit or encounter a temperature problem, you will be alerted.
This helps you avoid mistakes or oversights! It’s simple ?
Preparation temperatures and serving temperatures 🥘
For catering or managing large production volumes, Octopus HACCP helps you take temperature readings in just a few clicks, with ease.
For catering establishments, we have developed various solutions to suit all your configurations: different self-service lines, different opening hours depending on the day, services, etc.

We answer all your questions!
When should you check the temperature of each refrigerator or freezer?
It is advisable to check them before each service. In practice, this is one of the first checks you should do when starting your shift. Go around your cold cabinets to check that none of them have been damaged. Also check that the goods inside have not been exposed to any breaks in the cold chain.
How do wireless temperature loggers work?
If you do not wish to take temperature readings manually, you can equip your cold cabinets with wireless temperature recorders connected to HACCP software. Very easy to install, these connected sensors alert you by text message as soon as a temperature problem arises.
How are operating temperatures controlled?
If you provide buffet service (cafeteria, self-service, open display cases) or trolley service (nursing homes, hospitals), you must ensure that the food served is kept at the correct temperature from the end of production until consumption. If you provide plate service and make food to order, you do not need to check serving temperatures.
How can you control the temperature of a hot product?
A hot product must be kept at a minimum temperature of 63°C. If, during your temperature check, the critical threshold of 63°C is not met and consumption is imminent, the product may be consumed. For example, less than one hour after cooking. A hot product must not spend more than two hours at a temperature below 63°C, otherwise it will become a breeding ground for bacteria.
How do you check the temperature during rapid cooling?
If you have a cooling unit, your equipment will allow you to cool your preparations quickly. The rule applied by the HACCP method is as follows: you must reduce the temperature from above 63°C to below 10°C in a maximum of 2 hours. If your preparation comes out of the oven at 90°C, the two hours apply from the moment your preparation reaches the 63°C threshold. Are you preparing food at room temperature? The rule is the same: you must cool it in less than two hours. Don’t have a blast chiller? You can cool your preparations in a container filled with ice, for example. The important thing is to stick to the time/temperature combination: from 63°C to below 10°C in less than 2 hours. Once the 10°C threshold has been reached, you must store your food in a cold room at a maximum temperature of 4°C.
How long should I keep my temperature readings?
There is no clear minimum retention period specified in the legislation. However, we recommend that you keep them for at least one year; some recommend a minimum of three months. Some DDP inspectors may sometimes ask to see the previous year’s documents to verify that the checks have been carried out correctly.
