Operational Impact
Don’s Salads places high regard on the quality and consistency of their end products to maintain customer satisfaction and ensure returning customers. The use of ProcessPro’s quality control functionality enables Don’s to control the quality of its products beginning with incoming raw materials, through finished goods manufacturing, all the way to final packaging. They have the flexibility to place raw materials in quarantine hold status if they do not pass quality control standards and ensure they are not released for production until levels are corrected. With the help of ProcessPro, they have been able to consistently produce high quality, fresh products and comply with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, daily USDA inspections and customer specific standards. | |
Within the functionality of the software, Don’s has been able to easily analyze and compute profit margins on each individual product line and recipe by accounting for varying costs of raw ingredients. This allows them to establish growth strategies within product lines and expand into new markets with their launch of Melanie’s Medleys, a line of non-GMO artisan grain breakfast bowls and handcrafted cream cheeses, and The Artisan Deli, a line of handmade, small batch deli salads with clean and simple ingredients. | |
ProcessPro’s interactive BI Suite provides Don’s with the ability to maintain, analyze and share critical manufacturing and sales information across their organization using data maintained in the ERP and other sources. Easy-to-use report building provides their sales team the needed visibility and insight into their sales and customer data, empowering the sales team to make smarter business decisions. | |
