THE FACTS The competitiveness of food production will soon be more dependent on the reliability of safety, acceptability of the production procedures and quality of the food, than on quantity and price. Forward thinking retailers destined to triumph in the fresh arena have consequently put quality at the heart of their business strategy.

With quality performance now elevated to a corporate level, investment in technology to underpin the consistency of the offer to customers is key in order to give the visibility to drive performance and margin within the business and its supply base.

THE END-TO-END APPROACH TO QUALITY CONTROL Muddy Boots, experts in quality assurance solutions, is transforming world leading retailers and food producers’ approach to quality within their business.

With its paperless Greenlight Quality Control solution, Muddy Boots’ unique approach revolutionises today’s traditional document based compliance process, into a data driven process that adds significant value.

Muddy Boots has discovered that clearly aligning all activities and stakeholders on exact quality criteria gives businesses deep visibility and clear transparency on the quality performance across all operations, from Field to Fork.

Businesses are able to pinpoint problem areas and collaborate with suppliers to deliver consistent improvements. Cost through waste is driven out through a ‘right first time’ approach, with significant impact on the bottom line.

All aspects of quality are available in one single place. With increased transparency and the wider sharing of data, businesses will have a 360° view on site, supplier and product performance up and down the chain.

CUSTOMER EXAMPLES With customers at every level in the food vertical, Muddy Boots has expert knowledge and insight into the challenges that face the suppliers and the likely impact now and in the future.

STANDARDISE SPECIFICATIONS BUILD A FOUNDATION FOR ACCURACY & CONTROL Greenlight’s cloud-based computing offer enables central management and maintenance of specifications with detailed quality attributes. Accurate version control and approval stage gates can allow suppliers to participate, improving the management of specs and variations to reduce the burden placed on technical teams.

Once completed and set to live, the specification automatically generates a corresponding assessment, which can instantly be seen on any connected and authorised ‘Mobile’ device. Product and facility assessments and workflow controls are highly configurable – giving the business total control and visibility of process and products.

Examples include: • Product Checks – Intake, Online, Dispatch and Shelf Life • Facility Management – Facility, GMP, Machine/Start-up Checks • Label – Label and Packaging
