Case Study: Custard Stand Chili achieves rapid traceability and inventory control with Mar-Kov Vittles

Custard Stand Chili executes mock recalls in minutes with Mar-Kov Computer Systems

Custard Stand Chili, a food manufacturer experiencing rapid sales growth, faced significant challenges with its manual, paper-based system for tracking inventory and production. This outdated process was inefficient, prone to error, and made mandatory mock recalls a major operational burden. To achieve better traceability and inventory control while maintaining its QuickBooks accounting system, the company partnered with vendor Mar-Kov Computer Systems and implemented their Vittles food manufacturing software.

The solution from Mar-Kov provided a comprehensive traceability system that automatically records lot numbers and barcodes at receipt, production, and shipping. This integration eliminated manual data entry and allowed Custard Stand to execute a full mock recall in under two minutes. The software also delivered accurate, real-time inventory control and seamless QuickBooks integration, which improved data timeliness and accuracy. As a result, the company eliminated inventory shortages and achieved full traceability without additional labor overhead.
