Case Study: Aphria achieves forensic-level traceability and rapid scalability with ComplianceQuest

ComplianceQuest helps leading Cannabis producer accelerate into the future

Aphria, one of the world’s largest cannabis producers, was relying on a paper‑based track-and-trace system that could not scale with rapid market demand or meet evolving, multinational regulatory requirements. CIO/CISO Tim Purdie chose ComplianceQuest’s cloud‑based Enterprise Quality Management System (built on Salesforce) to replace manual processes and to integrate seamlessly with their new Rootstock ERP.

ComplianceQuest implemented its EQMS suite — including QMS, EDMS, vendor qualification, asset tracking and a seed‑to‑sale dashboard — and completed deployment in as little as four months versus the typical 12–18 months. The result: forensic “NASA‑level” traceability, stronger GMP transparency, improved audit readiness for Health Canada inspections, hundreds of hours saved in reporting, reduced regulatory risk, and a more productive, scalable operation.
