Collection points
We work so that you can assess product arriving from a large number of producers while the vehicle waits and before the batch enters the store.
At an intake point, on what evidence can an acceptance decision be made while the batch waits on the vehicle?
At an intake point, time is the most constrained resource. The decision made while the product waits on the vehicle is in most cases taken without measured data.
- Assessing batches from a large number of producers individually requires time
- Access to measured data at the moment of decision remains limited
- A rejected batch creates friction in the producer relationship
- Non-conforming product taken into store places subsequent batches at risk
What we provide to collection points
The ability to make the acceptance decision while the product is still on the vehicle.
You decide on site
Because the result is produced within minutes, the batch is not held and the vehicle is not kept at the weighbridge.
You assess each batch separately
Before incoming product is transferred to a common pool, it is established which batch carries which result.
You can substantiate a rejection
The discussion with the producer rests on a written result and moves beyond individual judgement.
What matters at intake
The three topics that place the greatest strain on field operations.
Fragmented supply
Collecting from a large number of small producers makes quality variation unavoidable.
Pooled batches
One non-conforming batch transferred into a common pool affects a far greater volume than itself.
Time pressure
Daily vehicle numbers rise through the season and separate time cannot be allocated to each batch.
Let us assess how this fits your intake flow.
We will begin from the number of sites you operate in season and your processing volume.
