Case Study: Jiffy Mix achieves 24/7 supplier compliance and 75% fewer out-of-spec lots with TraceGains

TraceGains Helped Jiffy Mix Reduce Out-of-Spec Lots by 75%

Jiffy Mix is a 110-year-old, family-owned milling company that produces nearly two dozen baking mixes, processes its own wheat and packaging, and ships over 150 million pounds annually to more than 30,000 retail and food-service outlets. To maintain its quality promise the company struggled with manual, time-consuming supplier checks—too many certificates of analysis (COAs) to review, slow COA receipt, inefficient audit data retrieval, and no early warning system to predict supplier performance—threatening to overwhelm staff.

By implementing TraceGains Supplier Management and Supplier Compliance, Jiffy Mix automated 24/7 COA validation, triggered corrective actions and notifications for noncompliance, and added purchase-order acknowledgement tracking and financial impact analytics. The result: COA latency fell from 22 days to under 22 hours, out-of-spec lots on the receiving dock dropped 75%, staff were redeployed from clerical work to higher-value tasks, supplier collaboration improved, and overall risk and audit readiness were dramatically enhanced.
