Imperfect Produce is deploying ReposiTrak Inc’s Compliance Management Solution to eliminate the administrative burden and other challenges associated with managing supplier compliance. Since Imperfect Produce’s supplier base is rapidly growing and the business is expanding beyond produce, the company decided to implement an automated compliance program immediately.
Based in San Francisco, Imperfect Produce fights food waste by finding a home for “ugly” produce, identified as quality produce that may be discarded due to its appearance. The company sources the fruits and vegetables directly from farms and delivers it to customers’ doors for 30% to 50% less than grocery store prices, helping build a more sustainable and effective food supply chain.
“We were spending countless hours managing tedious paperwork, making calls and sending endless emails to make sure our suppliers are compliant and keep everything updated. Since our supplier network is growing so fast, this entire process can be all-consuming,” said Edward O’Malley, vice president of supply for Imperfect Produce.
The Compliance & Risk Management suite includes the food safety and compliance solutions that have become a cornerstone of the ReposiTrak brand. With more than 250,000 connection points in the supply chain and endorsements of trade groups such as FMI, ROFDA and GMDC, ReposiTrak is an industry standard for food safety and compliance management.
“We’re thrilled to help Imperfect Produce manage compliance for their growing supplier base,” said Randy Fields, chairman and CEO of ReposiTrak. “Our active management approach enables them to focus on their burgeoning business, while offering us a unique opportunity to help support the great efforts they’re making in creating a more sustainable food ecosystem.”
The ReposiTrak Speed Retail Platform, consisting of three product families—Compliance & Risk Management, Supply Chain Solutions, and MarketPlace Sourcing and B2B Commerce—drives growth and supports all supply and demand chain activities for retailers and their trading partners. Delivered via one technology platform, all the applications are mutually reinforcing and work synergistically to create value and positive impact across the enterprise.
