This quarter, Clarifresh shipped five updates built around a single question: where are teams still doing things manually that the platform should handle?

Here’s what changed.

AI-powered label verification catches discrepancies before they become problems

Label mismatches are a persistent source of downstream disputes. A printed label that doesn’t match what’s expected in the ERP creates confusion at the point of inspection. And it often only surfaces as a problem later, when it’s harder to resolve.

Clarifresh now includes AI-powered label verification built directly into existing checklist questions. 

  • Inspectors capture printed labels during the inspection.
  • The system then compares them against ERP data in real time. 
  • When there’s a mismatch, it flags the specific issue and prompts the inspector to accept or ignore it.
  • The decision stays in human hands while removing the need to cross-check manually.

The result is fewer missed discrepancies, less time spent on manual validation, and sharper focus on the quality issues that require your quality team’s attention.

Multilingual QC reports: Clear communication across your partner network

When reports go out to international suppliers, growers, or buyers, language can easily become a friction point. Teams have had to translate documents manually, follow up to clarify terminology, or hope that English-only reports were understood correctly on the other end.

QC reports in Clarifresh now support multiple languages. Once an inspection is approved, the report is generated in your configuredA language. You set it once in Settings → QC Report. Titles, buttons, and navigation are all translated. On mobile, the PDF follows the device language. From the web, you can select the relevant language when sharing a public report with a specific audience.

Configurable grading logic to prioritize effectively

Not all checklist answers carry equal weight. A packaging defect might be tolerable, but a food safety failure is not. But when grading logic treats every answer the same way, final grades don’t reliably reflect the severity of what inspectors found.

Clarifresh now allows teams to define exactly how specific checklist answers affect the final inspection grade. Critical compliance or safety requirements can be enforced structurally rather than through interpretation or manual override.

This makes inspection outcomes more consistent and gives quality managers greater confidence in the grades their teams are producing.

Flexible viewer permissions: Match access to how your business works

External users like suppliers, growers, logistics partners need visibility into inspections. But a permission model that only allowed a viewer to be assigned a single value for a given property is not ideal. A partner handling multiple locations or product lines was either over-exposed or under-served.

On Clarifresh, users can be assigned multiple property values in a single access configuration. A supplier managing three facilities can see all three. A partner working across several product categories doesn’t need a separate account for each.

This makes permission management a simple setup task instead of an ongoing workaround.

AI defect detection is approaching commercial release 

Clarifresh’s AI automatic defect detection is approaching commercial release for the first two categories: oranges and strawberries. Blueberries are already in active development. This capability reduces reliance on manual visual assessment for high-volume inspections and will continue to expand across additional produce categories.

More details on rollout will follow as the commercial release progresses.

Development that keeps pace with the industry

Each of these changes targets a specific point where produce quality teams spend time or attention they shouldn’t have to: manually checking labels, translating reports, interpreting grade outcomes, configuring workaround permissions. Removing that friction is how Clarifresh helps quality managers focus on judgment, expertise, and relationships.

The next set of improvements is already in development. To see any of these features in action, request a demo.
