MILCO is a manufacturer of yogurts, fresh milk and chilled fruit juices based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The company distributes product throughout the U.A.E. and has sales of US$150 million annually. It is a fully owned subsidiary of the N.F.P.C. Food Group (a diversified US $1 Billion company).

Challenges
MILCO wanted to create a point of differentiation versus other manufacturers in order to gain market share, and capture the position as the marketer of the freshest products in an increasingly competitive country where the cold chain is difficult to maintain.

Solution
After reviewing several possible tools to upgrade the company´s image, reassure the consumer and improve the freshness from the plant to the store and from the store to home, MILCO selected the Fresh–Check® program from TEMPTIME. The program features Fresh–Check® indicators that are applied to individual food packages to provide an assurance of freshness from the time of packing by the manufacturer, throughout the grocery and foodservice distribution process and all the way to the time of unpacking for use.

Implementation
The Fresh–Check program at MILCO was first tested on a limited number of items from October to December 2004. The initial results were so impressive that the launch of the entire range (i.e. yogurts,fresh milk, chilled fruit juices) took place in March 2005.

Results
MILCO has experienced a 30% increase in sales and market share since launching the Fresh–Check
program. Support for the program by MILCO´s customers is very strong, with Carrefour, the leading
hypermarkets chain in the U.A.E., maintaining the company´s products in their planagrams.

Future
MILCO is considering extending the program for products export to nearby Persian Gulf countries. In
addition, other food subsidiaries of N.F.P.C. Group are considering the Fresh–Check program

PARIS ––– Fresh fruits and vegetables ordered from Carrefour´s Ooshop.com website are being delivered with the Fresh–Check® indicator, developed and produced by the TEMPTIME Corporation. This marks the first time a virtual supermarket is offering the Fresh–Check solution to ensure the freshness of delivered product.

Fresh–Check time–temperature indicators are applied to individual food packages to provide an assurance of freshness through the distribution process and to the time of use. The Fresh–Check technology gives a visual indication of potentially damaging heat exposure throughout the lifespan of products to which they are attached, based upon a gradual, irreversible color change.

"One customer out of every two orders fruits and vegetables on our site. Our standard client is urban, between 30 and 35 years of age, and has children. This customer will most certainly be highly responsive to the guarantee of quality we are offering him or her thanks to the Fresh–Check indicator," comments Ooshop. These customers are modern consumers, informed and at the technological cutting edge; Ooshop.com is looking forward to growth in excess of 75% per year.

Ooshop.com is supporting the Fresh–Check program with a marketing campaign that describes the partnership between Fresh–Check and Ooshop.com and a frequent–buyer offer that lets customers benefit from free delivery. Ooshop is also implementing a media relations and in–store poster campaign, and a "Satisfaction Guaranteed or Your Money Back" offer will be launched by Ooshop.com on December 5.

TEMPTIME managers say that by using the new smart label, Ooshop.com is becoming the reference point for freshness. Through this new service, Ooshop.com is reinforcing its on–line leadership and further differentiating itself from both physical and virtual competitors.

"To date, no on–line market has gone so far in the steps being taken for quality," said Serge Gozlan, TEMPTIME Europe´s Director of Marketing and Development. By adopting the Fresh–Check indicator, Ooshop.com lets its customers see exactly how fresh the fruits and vegetables are when delivered. It also ensures that they have been kept in cold storage from order preparation to home delivery."

GASTONIA, NC– Fresher than Fresh, Inc., a leading regional marketer of quality seafood, is using time–temperature indicators from TEMPTIME Corp. to meet the freshness requirements of its supermarket customers. TEMPTIME is supplying Fresher than Fresh with its industry–leading Fresh–Check® indicators, which are applied to individual food packages to provide consumers with a valuable addition to product dating.

Fresher than Fresh previously sourced freshness indicators from another supplier that could not provide the level of customer service the distributor needed. TEMPTIME, with more than 12 years experience in delivering time–temperature indicators for a wide variety of pharmaceutical and food applications, was able to step in and meet the company´s volume and service level requirements.

"TEMPTIME and their Fresh–Check time–temperature indicators give retailers the assurance of freshness from the time we deliver our products to their distribution center through to the time it is brought home and prepared by the consumer. Their ability to step in and give us the exact solution to meet our specific application helped us maintain an excellent relationship with our leading customers," said Brian Kelly, Vice President of Sales, Fresher Than Fresh Inc.

Several Fresher Than Fresh supermarket clients require visual freshness indicators on a variety of perishable items to supplement the printed "sell by" code. These retailers use this technique as a way to differentiate their service offering from competitors.

"Fresher Than Fresh and their retail customers are seeing the value of helping the consumer ensure that they are about to prepare and eat a fresh, unspoiled product. This dedication puts Fresher Than Fresh and their partners head and shoulders above companies relying solely on printed date codes to show the shopper the freshness of the product offering," Ray O´Brien, Senior Vice President US Food Sales at TEMPTIME.

Monoprix is a 250–store retail chain based in Paris, France. With sales of more than US $4 billion, the company is seen as an innovator among retailers in France and maintains a unique position in the French market with a strong emphasis on premium quality and superior service. Monoprix stores are typically located in urban areas and feature moderately priced clothing, furniture and cosmetics, in addition to groceries. The company is owned by Galeries Lafayette, one of France´s most storied retailers. Challenges

As competitive pressures mounted for all retailers in France during the early 1990s, management at Monoprix determined the company needed to differentiate its stores from those of competing hypermarkets and supermarkets. Among the many tactics management viewed as having great potential were upgrading the retailer´s freshness image and providing a unique and innovating service to the consumer.

Solution
After reviewing several possible tools to create a freshness image with consumers that Monoprix, the company selected the Fresh–Check® program from TEMPTIME. The program features Fresh–Check® indicators that are applied to individual food packages to provide an assurance of freshness from the time of packing by the manufacturer, throughout the grocery and foodservice distribution process and all the way to the time of unpacking for use.

Implementation
The Fresh–Check® program was tested in 1990 with XX private label items at XX stores, and then expanded by region and product category from 1991 to 1993. The Fresh–Check program now covers some 400 store brand SKUs in dairy, meat, poultry, fresh–cut salads, delicatessen and ready–to–eat meals.

Results
MONOPRIX is now the "best in class" in terms of freshness image, and its share in fresh foods is significantly higher than its overall market share. Monoprix store brand perishables with Fresh–Check® indicators continue to grow at a faster rate than comparable items at other supermarkets.

Future
MONOPRIX is considering extending the program to "ultra–fresh" products and other applications.
