Case Study: Global Food and Beverage Company achieves brand protection and centralized quality management with Sparta Systems' TrackWise EQMS

Global Food and Beverage Company Protects its Brand with TrackWise

A global food and beverage company with more than 50,000 employees faced fragmented regional IT systems that limited visibility across divisions and its extensive supplier network. Nonstandard quality processes and slow vendor/nonconformance handling exposed the business to regulatory risk, costly fines, and inefficient traceability across its value chain.

The company implemented Sparta Systems’ TrackWise EQMS beginning in 2009, automating supplier quality controls, nonconforming ingredient approvals, deviation tracking and centralizing CAPA; within a year the rollout expanded and by 2011 TrackWise controlled about 20 processes. The result was a harmonized, centralized platform that reduced cycle times, improved traceability and procedural visibility, enabled earlier detection and resolution of nonconformance, and positioned the company to extend EQMS across additional divisions.
