16 iFoodDS Testimonials

“[A huge benefit of working with iFoodDS is] the level of trust that we’ve been able to generate with our customers. I think that part of the growth that we’ve been experiencing at Divine Flavor has been because of the transparency that iFoodDS|HarvestMark provides to us. When you are in touch with the consumer and the retailer and you get feedback from them, those insights help you make better decisions. It helps tremendously for the growth of the business.”

“If we have to pull produce from the marketplace, we can quickly do that. identify which greenhouse it came from, where the cases were shipped, when and from which lot they originated, where else cases of that product may have gone, and how many.”

“Having a software tool and mobile tools (tablets) has allowed improved transparency and accessibility to food safety program results. It is no longer necessary to travel to each location to verify conditions, which saves time and energy/ makes us more efficient. ​Corrective actions are easily documented with back up documentation / photos within the system.”

“The increase in efficiency of our quality assurance program has allowed us to measure quality data and trends on a daily, weekly, or seasonal basis in a more comprehensive manner than we were able to before working with iFoodDS. We can use that data to make more impactful business decisions.”

“It’s been a very collaborative partnership with iFoodDS… We’ve got an improved level of quality coming out of our warehouses as well as going into our warehouses and most importantly, more accountability and more cohesion amongst all of our QC teams.”

“iFoodDS has emerged as the leading provider of food safety, traceability, and quality software for the supply chain due to their innovative product lines and technological and scientific expertise.

“The use of iFoods at our Bright Farms production facility has streamlined our food safety process and has allowed management to focus on larger food safety goals.”

“We had a paper-based food safety program in place, but as the Food Safety Representative for J&J, I wasn’t assured until I got my boots on the ground at all our different locations and really understood what was taking place. That prompted me to start looking at an electronic system to manage our food safety program, which led us to iFoodDS. That next step [in food safety] is definitely going electronic. We were ahead of the curve when we did this [implemented the iFoodDS Food Safety solution], but we have definitely seen benefits from going electronic when it comes to record keeping, auditing processes, and truly managing our food safety program.”

“Our initiative was to move further away from checking the box on food safety. We wanted to get functional information and be proactive about the issues we were seeing. We were looking for a better way and iFoodDS filled that gap.”

“Last year (2020), Foodbank made history by sourcing 48.8 million kilograms of food and groceries. In a year when food relief has never been needed more, the food donated by suppliers was enough to provide over 241,000 meals a day. We sourced this food with thanks to the generosity and tireless support of the Australian food and grocery industry, as well as critically important funding from the Federal Government, corporate Australia and so many wonderful individuals.”

“No grower wants to see their hard work and beautiful produce go to waste or sit in limbo. The ‘donate to Foodbank’ feature in the iFoodDS/ HarvestMark software gives their suppliers the ability to make a timely decision on a case-by-case basis which results in fresher produce being rescued and immediately directed to those who would otherwise go without.”

“The iFoodDS/HarvestMark solution is very well-liked by all stakeholders – retailers, growers and local Foodbanks alike – for its simplicity, effectiveness and impact. It has helped reduce unnecessary waste in terms of transport costs and environmental impact, food and product sent to landfill. It has not only greatly impacted our business in a positive way but has also benefited the environment and our local community."

“Markon was looking for a tool to help better manage external food safety documentation without adding extra work for our suppliers when providing this data. The iFoodDS team took the time learn Markon’s unique business model and understood what we needed for suppliers to achieve compliance with Markon’s 5-Star Food Safety program. They really did a deep dive into our internal processes to learn the workflow of supplier onboarding and annual reviews. After launch, iFoodDS provided great assistance in getting 100% enrollment from our suppliers. The iFoodDS team continues to provide unparalleled customer service and Markon is proud of the partnership we have developed.”
