Subway franchisee reduces supply chain costs

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Instill Corporation, a provider of on-demand supply chain solutions and services for the foodservice industry, has announced that Subway franchisee-owned Independent Purchasing Cooperative (IPC) has reduced costs in its supply chain by more than $1 million with Instill's Quality & Compliance Management Solution.

 

According to a press release, Instill Quality & Compliance Management is a Web-based, end-to-end solution that enables foodservice companies to capture, route, correct, prevent and analyze system-wide issues between their organization and their trading partners. Unlike spreadsheet- or e-mail-based processes, Instill Quality & Compliance Management gives companies the ability to collaborate online with partners on issues such as supplier approval processes, complaints, audits, employee training, product specification management and document control, providing a real-time closed-loop view of enterprise-wide quality and compliance.

 

By unifying all quality and compliance data into one central repository, foodservice companies can leverage robust reporting, dashboard and alert capabilities to easily identify trends, overdue actions and other key metrics while maintaining detailed scorecards against key performance indicators (KPIs).

 

"IPC's quantifiable results prove that managing supply chain quality is more than just an insurance policy against brand-damaging events," said Anthony Wilson, chief executive officer and president of Instill. "Companies can realize significant hard dollar savings as well."

 

Instill's Quality and Compliance Management solution is part of a comprehensive, integrated suite of proven solutions for foodservice that includes Food Spend Management, Procurement, Promotion Management, Product Information Management, Trade Spend Management and Business Intelligence.
