Behind the Curtain: How Kirpa Guarantees Quality in Every Bite

• Batch Testing and Verification: Cross-Lot-Consistency-Check
  For continuity of product, Kirpa does batch testing for reorders. This guarantees that the items you get today are the same as the ones you ordered last month.
• Dealing with Non-Compliant Products: Refusal and Corrective Procedures
  When a product has issues with any of our quality control standards, it is flagged and isolated. Our quality team implements a corrective action, coordinates the supplier for reimbursement or replacement, or initiates a full batch recall if warranted.

Quality & Technology

• PTA The Journal of Technology and Science
• AI/ML: Prediction for Quality Defects
  Kirpa uses artificial intelligence to recognize patterns in quality failures and predict future possible defects before they end up at the customer. This level of preparedness reduces risk and enhances the resiliency of our supply chain.
• Monitoring in Real Time: Following the Quality of a Product in the Supply Chain
  We utilise smart IoT-based sensors and real-time tracking applications to monitor environmental and handling conditions, including temperature and humidity, for temperature-sensitive and humidity-sensitive commodities in supply chain logistics. Such plants are controlled at least largely adequately throughout.
• Traceability on Blockchain: Product Transparency and Authenticity
  Blockchain allows us to take that to the next level and transition from our traditional process and create a step-change in transparency in the food supply chain so we can all have confidence in the food that we are feeding our family.
  This guarantees full traceability and can provide authenticity, which is essential for critical types of products such as food and cosmetics.

Staff Training and Expertise

• Ongoing Training: What Our Teams Are Taught About Quality Processes
  Kirpa spends a lot on the education of the employees. We regularly impart training to our warehouse, logistics , and customer service teams on the most recent industry standards, compliance updates, and handling best practices.
• Specialized Quality Control Teams: Role and Responsibility
  We have specific quality control teams for each category – FMCG, food, cosmetics, etc. These authorities would be in charge of product integrity and the execution of quality procedures for their segments.
• Employee Empowerment: Fostering a Climate of Quality and Personal Responsibility
  At Kirpa, quality is everyone’s business. All employees are also encouraged to help identify potential problems and suggest improvements. This shared ownership holds you accountable and breeds excellence.

Packaging and Storage Requirements

• How Your Product Packaging Can Ensure the Security of Your Shipment
  We incorporate industry-standard packaging materials that provide optimal protection for your items. Fragiles are padded, perishables are insulated, and everything is marked for easy reference.
• Climate-Controlled Storage: What are the Ideal Storage Conditions?
  Our storage facilities come with climate control units to accommodate temperature-sensitive items. This is important for extending the shelf life of items such as dairy, cosmetics, and health products.
• Inventory and Stock Management: FIFO (First In, First Out) to Avoid Expiry
  We practice FIFO (First In, First Out) inventory management to reduce the chance of older stock reaching your hands. This minimises the possibility of out-of-date goods being shipped to our retailers.

Customer Feedback Integration

• Aggregating Insights from Retailers: Surveys, App Feedback, and Conversations with Retailers
  Kirpa aggregates customer feedback across channels, from post-purchase surveys to in-app suggestions to one-to-one conversations. This information is critical to pinpoint areas for improvement.
• Active Listening to Complaints and Returns: Uncovering Repeated Quality Problems
  All complaints and returned goods are recorded and processed by our quality department. Trends and patterns are meted out to find systemic problems, which are resolved using a solution-focused approach.
• Feedback-Contingent QC Policies: The Power of the Improvement Loop
  Feedback is not only heard, but also implemented. We are in a constant cycle of improving our process, improving our quality standards, and retraining our staff from feedback from retailers.

Compliance with Dutch and European Legislation

• Regulatory Requirements: Food Safety, Packaging, and Product Standards
  Kirpa fully meets Dutch and EU regulations and laws for quality, food safety, cosmetic labelling, and product traceability. This compliance shields both our resellers and consumers.
• Certification & Documents: ISO, HACCP , and Other Available Upon Request
  Our facilities and processes are accredited by leading industry organizations. Documentation is also being provided for our partners, so that they can review and help to build trust.
• Full Legal Protection: Regular Check-Ups and Audits
  Kirpa also encourages third-party audits and on-site inspections to check the legitimacy of our process. This holds our own feet to the fire and keeps regulators off ours.

Transparency and Reporting

• Communication: Keeping Retailers in the Loop on Quality Concerns
  Kirpa brings complete transparency if your quality of Jadau suffers from any issue. Retailers are alerted through email, phone, and in-app notifications, along with suggested actions.
• Reports and Dashboards of Quality: Available Data to the Partners through the Kirpa App
  Keepers can find quality measures, audit results, and product traceability information in their dashboard on the Kirpa App. It gives confidence and promotes lasting cooperation.
