A food processor was having issues obtaining data efficiently with their pest management provider Pest activity trend reports, equipment maps and corrective action information were not readily available to the QA and sanitation team leaders. In addition, certificates of insurance, PCO licenses and pesticide labels/material safety data sheets were frequently expired or missing during third party audits resulting in lost points and potential loss of valuable clients.
Collins Pest Management, Inc. (CPM) was awarded the pest management service based on many factors, but the online capabilities of their Enviro-Shield™ Pest Management Program sealed the deal. CPM provided training and support to the food processor’s QA and sanitation team leaders permitting them 24/7 access to trend reports, equipment maps and corrective action items. In addition, up-to-date certificates of insurance, licensing and pesticide labels/MSDSs are always available online.
During the most recent third party audit at the facility in April 2011, CPM’s Enviro-Shield Pest Management Program went completely digital. CPM, along with the QA and sanitation team leaders, demonstrated the online version of the pest management system to the auditor, illustrating its features and benefits. Trend reports for a three-year period were shown to the auditor with the click of a button. The auditor was extremely pleased and complimented how easy the online version was to use over the traditional hard copy three ring binders.
CPM continually refines and updates its online portal for food processing clients. In today’s fast-paced information age, it is critical to provide pest management information instantly and accurately to food processing clients and third party audit agencies.
