Navitas Safety vs Paddl: what matters most
Last reviewed: 11 September 2026
Operational platform vs AI compliance suite
Navitas is positioned around operational consistency for multi-site food businesses. Paddl is narrower and deeper for hospitality compliance: AI HACCP, digital SFBB, COSHH, allergens, documents, equipment, training, suppliers, complaints, and EHO-ready records in one self-serve workflow.
Quote-led vs transparent monthly pricing
Navitas publishes some training prices, but its core platform is usually evaluated through a demo and quote. Paddl publishes £69 per location per month with all core features included, which makes budgeting easier for independent operators and growing groups.
Sensors vs practical daily records
Connected sensors can be valuable for larger teams that want passive monitoring. Paddl focuses on validated routines, corrective actions, staff accountability, and AI-assisted records so teams can run food safety without hardware installation.

Screenshots of the Paddl features the grid marks as missing or partial in Navitas Safety.

EHO visit view
Paddl AdvantageOne screen with everything an inspector asks for: SFBB pack, delivery records, temperature logs and training certificates.
Equipment records with AI health checks
Paddl AdvantageEvery fridge, oven and extractor with its service history and temperature logs. The AI flags a unit whose readings are drifting before it fails.
Report a fault from the app
Paddl AdvantageStaff log a breakdown or a safety concern with a photo and a priority, and the manager sees it the moment it is raised.
AI HACCP plan generation
Paddl AdvantageThe AI reads your business, routines, equipment and menu, then drafts a complete HACCP plan with process steps and critical control points for you to review.
Ask Paddy: AI that does the admin
Paddl AdvantageAsk Paddy books the contractor visit, builds the routine, drafts the risk assessment and gathers the inspection pack. You confirm every action, and it never fills in or signs a compliance record.
Manager view in the mobile app
Paddl AdvantageManagers switch to an admin view on their phone: team progress, compliance status, recent activity and SFBB state across every site.
AI insurance gap detection
Paddl AdvantageUpload the policy documents and the AI reads the cover, lists the gaps and says what to ask the broker.
