Rebuilt from the ground up, it’s the ultimate in security and control

Frontline International announces the release of its reimagined M3 Data Management System. Rebuilt from the ground up, the new M3 improves every facet of its operating system plus adds valuable new features and a software upgrade that is the pinnacle of system security. The reloaded M3 is data management that takes today’s foodservice kitchens into tomorrow.

With M3, kitchen managers track oil use, filtration, and handling, schedule used cooking oil pickups and fresh oil delivery, execute equipment health checks, and benchmark against reports on oil efficiencies across six continents. The result is a real-time accounting of usage and profits, a databank to drive profitable decisions, and remote oversight of moment-by-moment kitchen operations. 

Users gain the utmost in upgraded security features, including OIDC authentication through Microsoft Azure, integration capability with their own SSO (single sign-on) provider, the latest security certificates and protocols, a unique database to avoid cross-organization data access, and strict permissions and roles for specific access to features at unique permission levels. Only registered devices are permitted to talk to the IoT server.

For reliability users can feel confident in, M3 website and database are protected with CDN and firewalls, redundant geolocation, multiple daily database backups, and front-end website, back-end API, and databases are all hosted on different servers.

Users will experience greater performance with an improved database, significantly faster queries, reports, and API calls, new front-end, back-end, and databases built from the ground up using the latest development strategies and tools, device firmware refactored for reliable communication and connection, including easier IT setup, and widgets (charts and graphs) optimized to be more responsive, containing more powerful searching and faster exporting.

“For a decade, M3 has made cooking oil monitoring easy, secure, and accessible from any computer, tablet, or smartphone,” said John Palazzo, President and Chief Executive Officer. “It won the Kitchen Innovations Award from the National Restaurant Association in its first year. Now, the rebooted, rebuilt, and reloaded M3 stands ready to lead kitchens into the next decade and beyond.”
