Case Study: Death Wish Coffee goes paperless and masters SQF with SafetyChain Software

Death Wish Coffee goes paperless with SafetyChain and cuts waste bag prints from 500 to 120 per day

Death Wish Coffee, a rapidly growing coffee producer, faced significant challenges in managing food safety and quality assurance (FSQA) across its three facilities. Relying on cumbersome paper-based systems, the small team struggled with inefficient recordkeeping and the burden of implementing a Safe Quality Food (SQF) program. The need to scale operations without compromising quality, especially during a sales surge, prompted them to seek a technology solution from SafetyChain Software.

SafetyChain implemented its digital plant management platform to transition Death Wish Coffee to a fully paperless operation. The solution provided real-time data access, automated recordkeeping, and streamlined SQF compliance. This resulted in a 99% compliance rate, a drastic reduction in daily waste from 500 to 120 bag prints, and saved several hours per week in manual data entry. The measurable improvements in operational visibility and product quality enabled by SafetyChain were instrumental in securing contracts with major retailers like Walmart.
