FreshLoc can affect both ‘top-line’ sales and ‘bottom-line’ operating expenses. Independent research shows FreshLoc can be used to drive sales. With customers differentiating suppliers on the basis of perceived quality - freshness of products, FreshLoc provides a unique claim and a reason for customers to choose one company over others.
Reducing lost product increases profits geometrically. FreshLoc has unique alerting capability that helps prevent loss due to equipment failure (ask about FreshLoc case studies).
Personnel training is minimized because FreshLoc is simple and intuitive to use. It reduces the number of tasks required in a given facility.
Hard-wiring an average facility costs $50,000 or more for the wiring alone (no sensors). Trucks can cost in the thousands. FreshLoc’s wireless feature saves time and money.
FreshLoc improves equipment maintenance cycles and reduces operating costs (proven to save as much as 20% off maintenance contracts). For fleet managers, fuel cost savings is realized through better measurement of equipment performance.
For risk managers, liability premiums may be reduced as well as cash reserves.
FreshLoc has worked closely with distributors who have faced major health code fines. The FreshLoc system has provided effective support in legal situations as well as health inspections.
