Focus Area
Safety
From a product’s source to the restaurant, consumer safety is critical – and the key is the ability to track and trace products, like fish, up-and-down the supply chain. Just one crisis can have a major impact on a brand, a company, even an entire foodservice sector.
Quicker recalls and the ability to manage stringent food regulations – while ensuring a consistently safe product – boost consumer loyalty.
