Case Study: Affiliated Foods Midwest cuts vendor document non-compliance in half with ReposiTrak

Retailers’ Coop Cuts Vendor Document Non-Compliance in Half

Affiliated Foods Midwest, a multi-state food wholesaler serving 15 states, needed a better way to manage vendor compliance as FSMA requirements expanded. Using ReposiTrak’s cloud-based Compliance Management System, the company moved away from a highly manual, home-built process that left an estimated 30% of vendors non-compliant and made it difficult to collect and track required documents.

ReposiTrak implemented automated alerts, exception reporting, and scalable document management to help Affiliated Foods Midwest proactively manage vendor records, including new requirements like third-party audits and Certificates of Continuing Guarantee. The result was a drop in vendor non-compliance to under 15% among vendors on the system for 60+ days, faster document access for FDA requests, and more than half of approved vendors registered and sharing documents after nearly a year.
