Case Study: RaceTrac achieves automated supplier compliance and food safety control with CMX1

RaceTrac takes control of their supply chain and food safety with CMX1

RaceTrac, the family‑owned convenience store chain operating 500+ locations across the Southeast, partnered with CMX (using the CMX1 platform) to gain efficiencies in supplier onboarding and to strengthen food‑safety and quality oversight for ready‑to‑eat and private‑label foods. Facing a small QA team, too many manual processes, recent product withdrawals and a lack of ingredient‑source transparency, RaceTrac needed automation, standardized workflows, and better supply‑chain visibility.

CMX implemented the CMX1 solution—centralized Supplier Relationship Management, attachment‑based Product Specifications with Ingredient Management & Sourcing, automated supplier onboarding and approvals, and ActivityStudio for facility audits and CAPA. Launched in December 2018, the CMX platform created a single source of truth for suppliers, improved traceability for ingredient sourcing and recalls, reduced manual QA work through automated workflows, and enabled closed‑loop corrective actions that improved partner compliance and food‑safety oversight across RaceTrac’s stores.
