Case Study: Associated Wholesale Grocers ensures FSMA-compliant suppliers with ReposiTrak

Wholesaler Ensures 3,000 Suppliers are FSMA Compliant

Associated Wholesale Grocers, Inc. (AWG), the nation’s largest cooperative food wholesaler to independently owned supermarkets, needed a better way to manage FSMA compliance across its supplier base. With more than 3,800 locations served and over 3,000 suppliers to monitor, AWG wanted a single, always-available place to collect corporate and food safety documentation, manage supplier agreements, and be ready for FDA inspections.

AWG implemented ReposiTrak’s supplier management compliance solution to track documentation, automate approval workflows, and monitor supplier status in real time. With ReposiTrak, AWG is collecting 24 documents and has achieved a 60% supplier compliance rate across 3,000+ suppliers, while gaining alerts, exception-based reporting, and centralized records to support ongoing FSMA compliance.
