FoodLogiQ, the leading SaaS provider of food safety compliance, whole chain traceability, and supply chain visibility solutions, will be among more than 500 retailers, manufacturers, and technology solution providers convening in Orlando at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress on April 15 - 17 for the 2018 TPA Supply Chain Conference.  Contributing to the industry-driven sessions, FoodLogiQ customers IPC (the purchasing cooperative for SUBWAY®) and Seal the Seasons, along with Clarkston Consulting customer Tiesta Tea, will lead the April 16 roundtable discussions on the importance of supply chain efficiency.

Supplier Management Software is Key to Business Success for Seal the Seasons

Frozen produce company Seal the Seasons is filling a unique niche in the food industry. Freezing up to 17,000 pounds of local produce every hour, the fast-growing food manufacturer went from supplying their product in 10 stores to almost 2,000 in just under two years.  During a webinar with FoodLogiQ this month, Seal the Seasons Vice President of Supply Chain and Market Research Bryan Cohn shared the story of their growth and how supplier management software provided much-needed support.

Building Supply Chain Efficiencies within a Fast-Growing Business

What drives a company to pursue supply chain efficiency? There are many motivating factors, including time and money savings; FSMA requirements and the company’s need for compliance and farm-to-fork traceability; and concerns about potential consumer health risks following a product recall and the subsequent harm to the seller’s brand.

The Risks of Waiting to Be FSMA & FSVP Compliant

The Food Safety Modernization Act now requires greater transparency from the entire supply chain and fundamentally changes the way food is regulated in the U.S. and abroad, from farm-to-fork. Additionally, the Food Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) shifts certain food safety responsibilities from the government to food companies. Now that companies shoulder much of the burden, proactive measures are essential.

Consumer Survey Reveals Demand for Enhanced Transparency in the Food Industry

FoodLogiQ and 1WorldSync will outline how their partnership benefits food companies’ supply chain visibility goals at the upcoming GS1 Connect conference

FoodLogiQ and 1WorldSync, the leading provider of product content solutions, have published a survey that reveals supply chain transparency by food companies is a critical driver in consumer purchasing decisions and brand loyalty. Commissioned by FoodLogiQ, A Food Company’s Guide to What Consumers Care About in the Age of Transparency found that 54 percent of respondents want as much information as possible on the label, and nearly 40 percent want country of origin, allergen alerts and GMOs all identified on the label.
