Case Study: Giorgio Foods achieves 70–80% waste and overfill reduction in 6 weeks with Hertzler Systems Inc.

Food Manufacturer Reduces Waste by Over 70% in Six Weeks

Giorgio Foods, a multi-plant pizza and mushroom manufacturer, faced slow, paper-based weight checks on production lines that hid waste, delayed analysis, and limited growth. To get timely, actionable data, Giorgio Foods partnered with Hertzler Systems Inc to deploy GainSeeker and a real-time weight-control solution.

Hertzler Systems Inc implemented tablet-guided data collection points and real-time dashboards so operators and managers could monitor ingredient and final product weights instantly. Within six weeks Giorgio Foods reduced waste and overfill by 70–80% overall — roughly 70% for low-cost items like dough and sauce and over 80% for higher-cost meats and cheeses — accelerating decision-making and driving a culture of continuous improvement.
