Traction
Iron Apple started out focusing on the transportation industry, with regard to companies transporting food and food ingredients throughout the United States and Canada. They have grown their quality management system (QMS) and training modules to service food manufacturing, food processing, cold storage, and warehouse facilities. With the increasing demand for technology and digital services in the cannabis and edibles industry, working with local licensed cannabis producers, they have tailored their QMS and training program for the cannabis production and cultivation industry and are seeing some incredible growth in that sector.
Their competitive advantages are that Iron Apple have a modern approach that fits very small companies as well as large companies, while being lean and agile in offering competitive rates, customizations for specific companies, the ability to maintain multiple divisions, ie. Logistics, distribution, supply chain, production, manufacturing, as well as maintaining multiple compliance standards such as HACCP, Preventive Controls, GMP, GPP, ISO, etc.
