Automatic creation of compliance reports

Purpose

1. Automate the aggregating of ingredient sourcing, health and safety data, operational records, and sales logs for patisserie outlets, mandated by regulatory bodies.

2. Automatedly generate standardized compliance documentation (e.g., allergen declarations, food safety logs, staff training records) on schedule or on demand for internal audits and legal requirements.

3. Automate distribution of reports to management, food inspectors, or cloud document storage.

4. Automating historical archiving for future inspections, insurance, and quality control audits.

Trigger Conditions

1. Scheduled intervals (weekly, monthly, quarterly) using calendar/event automators.

2. Manual trigger by a compliance officer via dashboard interface or mobile app API.

3. Data entry completion (ingredient lots, employee certifications) detected by the automating software.

4. Receipt of compliance-related emails or forms into a designated mailbox or cloud drive triggers automation.
