Case Study: Old Wisconsin achieves automated maintenance visibility and audit-ready workflows with Issuetrak

Workflow Software links with Old Wisconsin sausage

Old Wisconsin Sausage, a more than 50‑year‑old Sheboygan producer, faced operational risk from a manual work‑order system that lost requests, lacked preventive‑maintenance tracking and made USDA HACCP audit documentation difficult. Facility manager Gary Lindow needed an automated, web‑based maintenance workflow to improve tracking and compliance.

The company selected Issuetrak for its fit, price and strong support, implemented it quickly across 12 departments, and gained real‑time visibility into roughly 200 work orders per month. Automated email alerts, department‑level workflows and centralized reporting reduced duplicate orders, improved scheduling and corrective actions, and provided the documentation needed for audits.
