Procurant launches mobile inspection solution
Procurant, a cloud-based software company transforming the global food supply chain, released Procurant Inspect, a mobile software solution available as an annual subscription that accelerates and modernizes the perishable goods inspection process at retail grocery distribution centers.
“Procurant Inspect is a game changer for retailers, essentially linking the produce receiving docks to the buyers and sellers of fresh produce. 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,” said Kevin Brooks, chief marketing officer of Procurant.
Procurant Inspect is a mobile application that runs on any standard tablet device. The solution simplifies the labor-intensive process of inspecting produce and other perishables at distribution centers. What previously was managed using clipboards and pen-and-paper documentation moves to mobile tablets and digital files with multi-dimensional ratings to capture a complete quality profile.
In addition, Procurant Inspect integrates with the Procurant One platform, where buyers and suppliers are already managing shipment information and purchase orders. This integrated approach supports advanced analytics into supplier performance and quality, and provides instant visibility to all parties if rejections occur.
Procurant Inspect 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
