• Production enterprise-grade servers with new-generation multi-core processors and high efficiency raid drives blah blah blah.

• Equipment housed in secure Data Center withredundant redundancy for Internet traffic, electricalGenerators. You get the idea. It’s legit.

Give me an example of the humans working...Case Study

A Fortune 100 CPG Corporation and the World’s Largest Convenience Retailer teamed up to co-develop, market, and distribute A groundbreaking food product in thousands of locations across the United States and Canada.

Working closely with multiple departments from both corporations A Closer Look developed and implemented a Quality Assurance program to accurately and quickly measure staff performance regarding brand specific protocols at locations selected for the product rollout pilot.  

And then…

Using our national field force, ACL performed audits at 200 retail locations over the course of 3 weeks in Miami, Dallas, and Las Vegas and their respective metropolitan areas.  All intelligence was delivered to the client within 48 hours of capture. 

As a result of ACL’s timely, accurate and specific feedback, the client was able to successfully make crucial protocol and training adjustments to ensure maximum staff and product performance prior to a multi million dollar nationwide launch.  

Do the humans work for free?
