Today's focus on healthier eating has raised the bar for produce excellence in the consumer's daily diet. And, with the convenience of fast-food, consumers look to their favorite outlet to provide high-quality, healthy alternatives. Further, they want to receive the same level of quality regardless of which location they visit. To ensure repeat clients, quality and consistency are vital to a chain's image and branding.
While quality and consistency are a necessity to protecting the brand, they're difficult to manage. By contracting with processors, supply chain managers typically have little control over the full produce procurement supply chain. Because the produce industry does not have rigid regulations, the supply chain manager can't easily monitor produce specifications or quality and consistency requirements. It's also very difficult to trace-back to the supply source if a problem occurs. Danaco bridges the gap and serves as an imbedded resource by helping our customers create baseline standards and then communicating them to each player in the supplier community. Taking it a step further, we go into the field to validate audits. The end result is reliably-consistent quality that protects your brand—all with the bottom line in mind.
Building on our collaborative relationships with growers and processors, we identify and analyze their practices. Then, we work together as a team to recommend and implement efficiencies that will redefine Good Agricultural Practices. Beyond creating efficiencies, we help our customers become category leaders by developing cutting-edge best practices that will lead the industry.
