Australian horticultural company CostaExchange has adopted a new program to better measure and manage quality performance across its fresh produce supply base.

The company has chosen Muddy Boots' mobile technology software Greenlight Quality Control, which allows businesses to identify problem areas and collaborate with suppliers to deliver consistent improvements.

CostaExchange group technical and alliance manager Brett Heather said the company expected significant benefits to come from the move.

"With improved quality management, through the utilisation of Greenlight QC, Costas see significant benefits flowing, with improved efficiencies, reduced rejections, enhanced reputation and a stronger bottom line performance," he said.

Muddy Boots Software general manager Jason Considine, said his business was "delighted" to work with CostaExchange.

"Quality is a key element to their business strategy and the adoption of IT has underpinned the quality and consistency of their product offer, whilst also demonstrating a good return on their investment."
