Case Study: Bellisio Foods achieves real-time quality management and shop-floor efficiency with TraceGains

Plant Floor Quality Digital Transformation for Bellisio Foods

Bellisio Foods, one of the largest frozen-entrée makers in the U.S. with a 1‑million‑sq‑ft plant and 20 production lines, struggled to maintain consistent quality and procedural governance while relying on paper forms and costly, ill-fitting ERP options. Inaccurate data capture, variable resource planning, high turnover, and no real-time feedback loop left supervisors blind to shop‑floor issues and created operational inefficiencies.

Working with TraceGains, Bellisio implemented Quality Management to digitize FSMA/GFSI‑aligned forms, automate checklists, lock in training and prerequisite testing, and deliver real‑time dashboards and automated corrective action requests. With just two people managing the rollout, the company trained more than 300 employees in 90 days, eliminated hours of manual paperwork, cut thousands in labor costs, improved compliance and employee engagement, and gained immediate visibility into production quality and performance.
