Incident report automation

Purpose

1. Automate incident reporting for army & navy surplus shops to ensure compliance with military surplus regulations, enable real-time notifications of compliance breaches, provide standardized incident documentation, and automate escalation to authorities; automated log capture, tracking, and auditable record storage.

2. Automating incident reports minimizes human error, reduces response time, and ensures documentation is securely stored and retrievable for audits, investigations, or insurance claims.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automated trigger by staff submission via digital form (frontline occurrence or back office).

2. Automation trigger via security system—CCTV, IoT sensor breach, access logs.

3. Automated initiation when product recalls, theft detected, or compliance check fails.

4. Automate incident creation when customer complaint email or support ticket carries keywords (e.g., “injury,” “security breach”).

5. Automation triggers from integration of point-of-sale alerts or inventory system discrepancy.
