Case Study: Costco Wholesale achieves trusted, centralized supplier compliance and improved food safety with TraQtion

TraQtion’s Supply Chain Solution Manages Global Food Supplier Compliance and Audits

Costco Wholesale, which manages over 4,000 global suppliers, 20 approved audit companies and operations in eight countries, faced fragmented supplier data, lack of control over audit information, and limited ability to trend non-compliances for risk identification. Costco turned to TraQtion for a centralized, reliable solution to improve data integrity, support informed decision-making, and track audits, inspections and corrective actions.

TraQtion delivered a customized, cloud-based supply chain compliance and quality-management system that centralized supplier records, enforced access controls, automated corrective-action requests and provided analytics and mobile auditing tools. As a result, TraQtion helped Costco achieve accurate, up-to-date global supplier data, improved internal and supplier communications, reduced administrative time and labor costs, streamlined corrective-action workflows, and lowered the probability of complaints and recalls through early identification of high‑risk trends.
