  • Works offline; submit saved forms once your device is back online.

Why Digital Checklists for Warehousing

Warehousing and cold chain operations face tight tolerances: temperature control, hygiene, allergen segregation, pest control, and traceability. Paper trails go missing and spreadsheets don’t scale. Digital checklists centralise evidence, trigger alerts, and keep corrective actions visible so nothing is missed before product moves.

For regulatory context, see guidance from Safe Work Australia and food standards via Food Safety Standards Australia and New Zealand.

Core Use Cases for Digital Checklists in Warehousing

  • Temperature Monitoring & Equipment Checks: Record set points, actuals, door alarms, defrost cycles, and corrective actions.
  • Hygiene & Sanitation: Cleaning schedules, swab results, and sign‑offs with photo evidence.
  • Receiving & Dispatch: Load temperature, FIFO verification, seal checks, and chain‑of‑custody documentation.
  • Pest & Contamination Controls: Trap checks, bait maps, and escalation of non‑conformances.
  • Maintenance & Repairs: Refrigeration plant inspections, MHE pre‑starts, and service log capture.
  • Warehouse Safety Checklists: Walkthroughs for slips, trips, racking integrity, PPE, and traffic management.

Case Study: Milla Group — Digital Checklists for Warehousing in QA

Milla Group adopted DIGI CLIP to bring their QA documentation into one digital workflow across cold storage operations. Using mobile forms, teams now:

  • Capture QA evidence at the point of work (photos, notes, signatures, geo‑time stamps).
  • Standardise temperature, hygiene, and loading checks with template libraries.
  • Log and track corrective actions in the central Action Register until close‑out.
  • Export clean PDF/CSV packs for customer and auditor requests.

Outcome: Faster QA sign‑offs, reduced paperwork errors, and stronger audit readiness with a clear, provable trail from issue to action.
