Digital procurement and quality processes at a functional food manufacturer

Client

Topical — a functional food and dietary supplement manufacturer operating under a HACCP quality regime, with a growing number of suppliers and production batches.

Challenge

Purchase approvals, complaints and quality documentation circulated between departments via email and binders. Batch release could be held up waiting for “circulating” paperwork, and supplier evaluation was based on gut feeling rather than quality history.

Scope of work

• Purchase approval workflow with spending limits at each level and a full audit trail
• Complaint register with defined handling deadlines and automatic escalation of overdue items
• Electronic CAPA and HACCP documentation — audit readiness “on demand”
• Supplier evaluation driven by actual quality history
• Digital batch release documentation flow — no shipment delays
• A single unified environment maintained and monitored by Remote Admin
