Case Study: Georgia-Pacific achieves 95% reduction in manual COA inspections with Specright

Georgia Pacific automating COAs with Specright

Georgia-Pacific, a global pulp and paper manufacturer with over 30,000 employees and 180+ locations, faced delays and quality risks from manually inspecting thousands of Certificates of Analysis (COAs) from paper suppliers each day. To optimize COA reporting and supplier compliance, Georgia-Pacific partnered with Specright and its Specification Management platform through the Supply Chain Batch 2 accelerator introduction.

Specright automated COA processing so reports are scored on arrival and failing inbound materials are flagged for immediate review, preventing quality issues. The Specright solution automated hundreds of daily COA reports and cut manual inspections by 95%—from hundreds a day to just a handful—and is now expanding from the paper division to other Georgia-Pacific divisions.
