In addition to supplier management, one of the advantages of using FoodLogiQ’s Manage + Monitor is for food companies and restaurants to track quality issues across their supply chain. By capturing detailed and customized information about each incident, you can track and share documentation and pictures with your supply chain partners.
This is saving our customers significant time by automating and centralizing communications with their suppliers and distributors. Erin Kvittem, Senior Supply Chain Professional, at Buffalo Wild Wings revealed that using FoodLogiQ’s Incident Management cut her time managing issues by nearly 90%! Plus users are recouping costs of nonconforming products, all while tracking credit requests on one platform.
It’s cool functionality that’s delivering value to our customers, and there are some tips and tricks that can make it even more powerful. Do you find yourself identifying incidents by their ID, and wish there was an easier way to go directly to the appropriate incident? Here is some advanced functionality that should help!

Setup FoodLogiQ Connect as a custom search engine

Add Connect as a custom search engine to Google Chrome
Please note that if you type in an ID that either doesn’t exist or is something you don’t have access to, you’ll be redirected to the full list of incidents. You will also need to log into Connect if you are not already logged in.
Now when someone asks “did you look at incident 17-73,” you are just a few keystrokes away from finding it!
