Business Challenges • The primary challenges faced by Zespri in their quality claims management included a fragmented system with disparate regional processes, manual and ad hoc validation of claims, and low global visibility of live claims values. • This led to inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and a lack of confidence in the claims’ authenticity Customer Benefits • Customer experience: The portal provides customers with the ability to directly manage their claims and view credit records, enhancing transparency and satisfaction. • Time efficiency: The automation has drastically reduced the time required to process claims by eliminating manual spreadsheet consolidation and credit assessments. • Improved financial forecasting: With greater transparency of potential liabilities, we can now forecast returns to growers more accurately, allowing for better financial planning and anticipation of fruit quality issues. • Cost and risk management: By simplifying and standardizing the claims process, we have reduced operational costs and minimize the risk of erroneous claims. The system also enhances consistency and strategic decision-making through improved global reporting visibility.

“The reporting that has been available helps us have a flexible view of all claims from very detailed, to a top-level view. This has helped with the traceability of the claims across all our customers.”
