Case Study: Nestlé Purina achieves rapid, company-wide rollout and fast time-to-value with Poka

Purina Accelerates Time to Value Across 21 Sites

Nestle Purina, the second-largest pet brand globally, faced the challenge of quickly standardizing operations, training, and knowledge-sharing across 23 North American factories during the disruptions of 2020. To address this, they selected Poka’s digital manufacturing platform for standards management, competency management and networked communication, and needed a phased, scalable rollout and strong change-management governance across corporate and plant teams.

Poka worked with Nestle Purina using a structured, factory-tailored onboarding approach—creating local success plans, a content management team, and a network of local project leaders—allowing rollouts of 3–4 factories per month even through the pandemic. The result: Poka is now live at all 23 North American sites, delivering standardized, auditable processes, improved training oversight and faster cross-plant problem solving, with clear, measurable deployment velocity and full corporate endorsement.
