There are two key components to use the Produce Supply.org (PSO) best practices. These are:

Implementation Tier Calculator (ITC)
Produce supply companies come in all shapes and sizes. Some are global corporations operating internationally and some are much smaller operations that may be seasonal and are focused on one specific type of crop.
Given this disparity, the ITC provides an easy way to determine which tier your company is in. Answer 4 simple questions to create a weighted score that will tell you which list of best practices should apply to your organization.
