QA Solution
As part of the overall transformational project, SI will initially be implementing its new Integreater Quality Assurance (IQA) solution. IQA will enable the digital capture of data at critical control points and other process areas, with real-time conformance management. The digital output / reporting will help to underpin Fresco Fisheries exemplary quality processes with audit evidence for BRC (British Retail Consortium) accreditation.
