SOQUEL, CA - SureHarvest is adding 3 new clients to the user base of its sustainability performance management software: SMIS. The reception for this product has already been excellent and now PRO*ACT, the California Cut Flower Commission and the Oregon Hazelnut Marketing Board, have signed up to take advantage of the benefits the platform affords.
“We’re honored to partner with these progressive organizations to implement the SMIS platform, which will empower them to manage and grow their industry-leading sustainability programs,” shared Dr. Jeff Dlott, SureHarvest CEO.
PRO*ACT has long been among the leaders for sustainability solutions in the industry. In 2011, PRO*ACT launched Greener Fields Together™, which was the industry's first comprehensive national farm-to-fork sustainability program, according to a press release. Starting this fall, PRO*ACT’s national farm supplier partners will be able to use SMIS in order to complete online surveys about their energy management programs. Using the built in information management and reporting functionality of the SMIS platform, PRO*ACT will be able to leverage this information towards improving the sustainability performance of its operations as well as those of its farm suppliers and over 60 distribution centers.
“The SMIS online platform will help streamline our sustainability efforts and bolster our continued commitment to sustainable agriculture,” says Max Yeater, PRO*ACT's President. “It will also bring value to all our Greener Fields Together value chain partners by storing critical sustainability information that supports our commitment to transparency.”
The Oregon Hazelnut Marketing Board, a fellow new SureHarvest client, lists over 650 growers who grow over 99% of the United States hazelnut crop among its members. Beginning this January, the growers and handlers which take part in its Hazelnut Sustainability Program will be able to assess their performance on important sustainability goals in a confidential, efficient manner.
Congratulations on securing these new clients, SureHarvest!
