Parity Food Quality Management integrates your quality management team into all the other critical business processes surrounding food products. This integration will take you beyond tracking, measuring and documenting tests in files and spreadsheets, to using real-time data for planning, customer service, maximizing your profits and streamlining your operations.

Product and Customer Test Specifications

Parity Food Quality Management starts with a framework that defines test criteria for your products and criteria required by your customers. You can define any type of micro- or physical test, and set the tolerance limits for isolating defective lots or for classifying ingredients for targeted usage in manufacturing or sales. Any specification can invoke any number of defined test formats.

Test Results Tracking and Visibility

Parity Food Quality Management provides an efficient, secure and tangible way to document your test results. If you are tired of digging through files and wish that all your important data was organized and easily accessible, Parity Food Quality Management ensures that your quality data is not only in a safe place, but actively working for you. Some of the key features are:

• Secure Test Results Database

Directed Lot Selection to Customer Specifications

Customer product specifications drive a powerful filter for lot selection during order processing, adding speed and reliability where lot selection is critical to the customer service process. Parity allows you to reserve lots with specific characteristics for specified customers. With the Parity platform, managing, tracking and allocating lots is transformed to a seamless integrated process.

Lot Hold Management

Lot hold management includes business rules for placing production on automatic hold for positive release based of test results. You may also define any number of quality or safety holds with varying levels of restriction, ranging from warning users during lot allocation to orders to complete lock down of the lot. The lot tracing capabilities provided with the Parity Food Enterprise allow you to affect an instant quarantine within your own facilities.
