FoodLogiQ’s Spring ’19 Release: Product Specification Audits and Enhanced Assessment Reporting

There arguably isn’t anything more important to your food company than the quality of the products you serve your customers. Your entire brand and reputation are held up on that quality. But not just the quality of the first time your customer enjoys your product, but the second, and the third, and the fourth. This is why auditing and managing the quality specifications of your products - to ensure consistent quality over time -  is such a critical component to your brand.

Achieving End-to-End Traceability Throughout Your Supply Chain

Food traceability initiatives are being driven forward by increased regulation, consumer demand for transparency, and corporate social responsibility efforts. In addition businesses are realizing the benefits from having visibility into their supply chains, and the risks associated with recalls.

Whole chain, end-to-end traceability offers ideal safety and transparency - in line with the direction the food industry is fast-tracking towards. The value of seeing the entire past and future of each product is that companies can easily verify the safety practices of their suppliers, the origin and authenticity of the ingredients, as well as be aware of potential allergens.

Why teamwork? The answer is simple.  The ability to align on a common, measurable goal and work together to achieve that goal is, in my opinion, the glue that holds business partnerships together.  You see, in the world of software, there are several moving parts that need to align to make sure that a customer journey is successful, and if different players aren’t working together, then things can fall apart, and fast.
