Case Study: Taylor Farms achieves digital transformation without adding resources with Specright

Advances in Digital Transformation Without Adding Resources

Taylor Farms, a 20,000‑employee fresh‑produce company, faced a fragmented, manual specification process built on shared Excel files, paper workflows and phone calls that didn’t scale and left them vulnerable to errors and repeated vendor issues. To modernize and centralize product specifications, Taylor Farms partnered with Specright and adopted its specification management solution with mobile access and a single repository to replace brittle SharePoint links and manual printouts.

Specright delivered a centralized spec repository with mobile views, search and audit reporting so teams can find non‑conformances, run reports and trace details to the source. The pilot grew from 6 plants to 20, supporting 4,000+ specifications without adding dedicated staff; Specright’s implementation helped avoid hiring 15 full‑time employees (an estimated 28,800 hours/year), increased reliability by eliminating manual steps, and boosted compliance with non‑expired audit reports by more than 65%.
