Case Study: Sugar Foods Corporation achieves streamlined specification management and accelerated sustainable packaging innovation with Specright

Sweetening Sustainable Innovation with Specification Management

Sugar Foods Corporation, a maker of sugars, zero‑calorie sweeteners, salad toppings, stuffing and snacks across five US and Mexican locations with 1,400 employees, faced a fractured specifications environment. Complex, variable packaging needs and a mesh of legacy systems (QAD, ERP, Tops, Genesis, Smartsheets, spreadsheets and siloed laptop documents) left critical data scattered and required teams to pull information manually — a problem that culminated in migrating 3,000 SKUs, 10,000 ship‑tos and 500+ customer labels. To solve this, Sugar Foods turned to Specright’s specification management platform.

Specright implemented a single source of truth and a streamlined approval workflow, enabling the team to track packaging from early development through production and end of life. As a result, Specright made data accurate, searchable and easy to use, moved the organization to a spec‑first design process, improved supplier relationships and freed people to focus on strategy, product innovation and sustainable packaging initiatives.
