Ensuring food quality and safety with integrated temp sensors, automated alerts, and instant communication
Blanket helps the food service industry avoid unnecessary risks
Mitigating huge potential losses with temperature reading and automatic alerts
Greenly, a prepared meals startup, has been growing rapidly for the past 4 years. They operate out of 3 centralized commissary kitchens and ship meals nationwide. They’ve had some trouble keeping track of their time and temperature logs using manual processes. Greenly decided to start using Blanket to track all their time and temp logs in their commissaries, as well as use Blanket’s sensors to track their refrigerated equipment temperatures. Chris, their VP of Culinary, has left the facility to meet with a new potential vendor, with no plans to return that day.

Two hours after he leaves, Chris receives an alert that their large walk-in that houses $2mm worth of inventory has been sitting at over 48 degrees for one hour, putting the inventory at risk of spoiling. Chris submits an emergency work order in Blanket to his refrigeration vendor.

Tim, the refrigeration vendor, receives the critical work order and immediately dispatches a technician to the commissary. The technician arrives in 30 minutes, notices the cooling fan on the compressor is no longer operating, and immediately replaces the fan.

Because of the risk to the inventory, Chris decides to shorten the expiration date on all inventory from that commissary. Chris assigns an action item to his floor manager to use Blanket’s label app to print and apply new expiration date labels for all items in the commissary. Once complete, he receives a notification that the action item is done.

Using the announcements tool in Blanket, Chris direct’s Greenly’s staff to use the inventory from the commissary with the shortened expiration date before any other inventory. Greenly is able to utilize the $2mm in inventory that would have otherwise gone to waste had they not fixed the temperature issue, changed the expiration dates, and notified the staff.
