What we could not confirm

Forkto

  • Founding year, headquarters and team size
  • Funding
  • Founders' surnames
  • Contract minimum term and renewal terms
  • Terms of the "free until you get your 5" offer
  • Any POS, accounting or supplier integrations

SmartFoodSafe

  • Any price or plan detail (modular, quote via demo)
  • Contract term and free trial
  • Security certifications: the homepage has a Security Certifications heading but names none in its text
  • Which 12 countries it serves
  • Interface languages (the website offers English, French, Spanish and Portuguese, but that may not apply to the product)
  • Legal entity name and number of employees
  • Named POS, accounting or other integrations
  • Founder names (the About page lists a CEO, Prasant Prusty, but does not call him a founder)
  • Whether it monitors equipment or temperatures itself: it lists no sensor hardware, so the given category Equipment Monitoring & Maintenance appears wrong
