DUBLIN, Calif., April 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- World Class Flowers is the latest customer to pick up the food safety mantle and join iTrade’s iTracefresh program. As the leading global provider of supply chain software for the food and beverage industry, iTrade is pioneering efforts to build the world’s safest and most comprehensive global food supply chain. To underline its commitment to guaranteeing the safety of our food, it has removed all barriers to adoption, offering the iTracefresh traceability suite to any supplier’s, or indeed any buyer’s, entire supplier portfolio for the first year – free of charge.
“At World Class Flowers, we pride ourselves on serving our customers with integrity and providing the freshest cut flowers straight from the source. iTrade’s free traceability offer builds on those values and allows us to grow our business with buyers, adapting to traceability requirements quickly and easily,” comments Robert Gravitz, President/CEO at World Class Flowers.
In addition to protecting a supplier’s brands during recalls and enabling critical downstream supply chain visibility, iTrade’s traceability solutions help grow its customers’ businesses. Data from a yearlong pilot with a major industry buyer showed that suppliers adopting iTrade traceability increased their trading volumes by an average of 55 percent in just 12 months. Additionally, a sample of just four new growers added a combined $10 million in revenue over the same period.
“The world would be a better place if everyone knew where their food came from,” says Rhonda Bassett-Spiers. “Whether you’re a small, family farm or a large, enterprise operation, we want to make food safety and traceability accessible to everyone. We are happy to have World Class Flowers join us in creating the world’s safest food supply chain and grow their business in the process.”
