PAR Tech's iQuality is a powerful web-based tool for managing HACCP and inspection systemfor large food service organizations such as school food services. Combining the best technology in PDAs (handheld computers), temperature data acquisition, and .NET web-based software, iQuality automates the monitoring of quality risk factors while dramatically lowering the potential for human error.
Critical information is centralized through web-based reporting, audit trails, and checklist-management tools. Corrective actions are provided when unsafe conditions are detected. Paperwork is eliminated. Through iQuality's efficient inventory recall alert system, any problem can be addressed before an outbreak occurs.
The iQuality PDA, is a rugged Industrial grade unit with an extraordinarily large display. Its size is about 50% larger then competitive products, that are mostly consumer grade hand held PDA units. The probe has very quick reaction time, and has no screws or connecting parts to avoid any possibility of accumulating debris and becoming a food safety hazard. The hand held unit as well as the probe can be cleaned very easily.
To get started with iQuality, customer pay an activation fee that provides them with the hand held unit, the probe and a three year warranty for the hand held unit. During this warranty period, a replacement unit will be provided the next day for any failure to operate units, "no question asked".
PDAs, same as POS systems and cell phones have newer model announcements all the time that come with more advanced features. Our program allows customers to refresh their units to such upgraded units, whenever they feel appropriate. Any time after the 3-year warranty period, at a moderate refresh charge , we will provide our customers upon their request with "latest and greatest" units and at that time of refreshment customers will get an additional 3 years "no Questions Asked" next day replacement warranty. Customers do not need to refresh units, but have the option of doing so whenever they wish so or as an options to units that may need repair after the first 3 year warranty period is over.
Highlights of the iQuality PDA:
• Inputs temperature probe data directly into the PDA
• Ensures checkpoints are actually visited
• Prompts with corrective actions whenever a critical limit is exceeded
• Manages multi-step processes such as cooling
