Remote Inspections

Introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic to guarantee and maintain business continuity for our clients, our remote inspections allow exporters and importers from all over the world to continue to request and receive inspections from Cotecna despite any specific limitations, such as bad weather conditions, travel restrictions, health concerns, delays etc.

Requiring only the use of a smartphone with an in-built camera and a good internet connection, our Cotecna operators will connect remotely and guide you through the entire inspection process (including packaging, packing, labelling, marking, product condition, etc.). To offer an optimized security and traceability, the entire process of inspection is recorded.

Key Benefits of Remote Inspections

Our remote inspections offer clients a way to ensure business continuity regardless of any particular event or safety restrictions.
