KOOKLIN

What KOOKLIN does

KOOKLIN is a French software company, structured as an EURL and operating as 'Kooklin by Quality Guard,' that sells a tablet-based HACCP compliance platform to French food operators and adjacent regulated sectors. Its core product combines an IP65 ruggedized tablet, a cloud back-office (Kookontrol portal), and IoT temperature sensors (KookAlert) with software modules covering traceability, supplier label OCR, internal labeling, cleaning plans, stock management, supplier ordering, recipe/food cost, INCO-compliant product sheets, meat cutting and labeling, sanitary control dossier export, and an audit tool (AuditExpert). Differentiated features include AI-powered photo label recognition (extracting product name, DLC, allergens, lot number, carrier) and a hands-free voice command interface, both marketed as market exclusivities. The platform is purpose-built for French food safety regulation (PMS, HACCP, DDPP/DGAL/ANSES) and extends into pharmacy cold-chain compliance via an ANSM-compliant probe.

The company sells exclusively through direct field sales with on-site demonstration, installation, and training, supplemented by phone/inside sales and a web demo-request portal, with a UMIH partnership providing access to the French hospitality sector. Revenue comes from a single all-inclusive monthly subscription bundling software, hardware (tablet, printer, sensors), installation, training, and 7-day support; pricing is quote-based at €80–200/month per establishment depending on configuration. KOOKLIN claims 10,700+ customer establishments (12,700 cited on some pages), 120,000 recommending users, and a 4.9/5 rating across 167 Google reviews, with named customers spanning Biocoop, La Boucherie, E.Leclerc Obernai, Clinique de la Prairie, Restaurant Sarran, La Boulangerie des Mousquetaires, MX Ricard, and The Babel Community across boucherie, boulangerie, HCR, GMS, pharmacy, and laboratory verticals. The company is privately held, bootstrapped with no funding rounds disclosed, and operates from a single headquarters in Mazamet, France, serving the French domestic market.
