Case Study: Cypress Grove Chevre achieves triple output with Smartsheet

Artisan Cheese Maker Triples Output With Help From Smartsheet

Cypress Grove Chevre, a 30-year-old artisan cheese maker with fewer than 50 employees, set out to expand operations and triple its output but needed a simple, cross-departmental system to plan maintenance, streamline operations, manage shipping, and monitor quality from the facility to the customer. The company required tools that were easy to learn, accessible on any device, and able to support marketing, sales events, and executive planning without heavy IT overhead.

By pairing Smartsheet with Google Apps, Cypress Grove centralized task assignment, preventative maintenance tracking, event and campaign logistics, file storage, and meeting agendas—accessible on smartphones and tablets for real-time updates. The result was improved accountability, faster communication between floor and management, lower tech costs, and the increased productivity and collaboration that enabled the creamery to scale and achieve its production goals.
