FRESHNESS & QUALITY MANAGEMENT
Utilize Quality & Freshness Data Across Your Supply Chain
Insights integrates data across your supply chain to help you optimize freshness and quality.
- Fresh, quality produce is critical to retails buyers and shippers: 72% of shoppers choose their grocery stores based on the quality of the produce aisle (FMI, 2011)
- Shippers spend a third more in the produce department when they’re delighted by the quality and freshness of fresh items (Oliver Wyman, 2008)
Yet today, growers, shippers, retailers and foods service wholesalers often have no visibility into the freshness and quality of their produce as it's received and once it’s left their warehouse. Quality issues are often reported after the fact, leaving little time to respond quickly to problems, or collaborate with suppliers or buyers.
Now you can monitor how your product performs from field to store shelf, and pinpoint sources of lost freshness and quality. With Insights, you have data-based analysis needed to retain and capture new business, achieve price premiums, increase sales, and earn greater customer loyalty.
Our Solution
We transform quality and freshness data captured at critical points in your supply chain, from field to store, into actionable insights that you access on-demand via role-based dashboards and through email alerts.
Features
- Easy to use tools for quality scoring, allowing you to capture appearance, condition, defects, temperature, brix or other QC metrics through distribution or inventory and merchandising data while in store.
- Role-based dashboards and reports that help your team rapidly measure, identify and root cause drivers of lost freshness and quality.
- Intuitive benchmarking tools help you prioritize issues and make faster, more impactful decisions.
- Email alerts to notify you when freshness or quality thresholds fall below expectations.
