Procurant's New Mobile Inspection Works to Enhance Distribution Centers' Quality; Kevin Brooks Comments
WATSONVILLE, CA - On the heels of the release of its new retail connection platform, Procurant, a cloud-based software company, is also unveiling mobile perishable inspection process Procurant Inspect.
“Procurant Inspect is a game changer for retailers, essentially linking the produce receiving docks to the buyers and sellers of fresh produce,” Kevin Brooks, Chief Marketing Officer, explained in a released statement. “It helps produce inspectors be more effective and enables all supply chain participants to have up-to-the-minute information and long-term trend data about the quality of inbound products.”
Running on any standard tablet device, the program looks to accelerate this quality control process at retail grocery distribution centers. Features include:
- Commodity-specific USDA standard defect lists
- Instant visibility into inspection status and scores for buyers using Procurant One
- Advanced search capability for inspectors to quickly identify orders
- On-demand load rejection reports with details, images, and comments
- Inspection analytics with summaries of inspections and supplier scores
The software is available as an annual subscription, eliminating the need for paper, clipboards, and other pricey and tough-to-track pen-and-paper documentation. And Procurant Inspect works with the new Procurant One platform, which the company said supports advanced analytics into supplier performance and quality and provides instant visibility to all parties if rejections occur via an integrated approach.
