By: TR Cutler Greg Rowe, Supply Chain Manager for Ottens Flavors commented, “TraceGains helped us with document control, COA automation (cost oriented automation), and supplier scorecarding. We are now able to automate our processes. That really helps us reduce the headcount from an automation point of view. It also helps us be in compliance with these BRC audits.” Cathy Temple, Director of Global Quality Systems at Ottens Flavors, explained from a quality perspective she needs to evaluate how Ottens is doing in getting CFAs on time and compliant with the certificates of analysis. Additionally, she is looking at vendor compliance with raw materials and vendor performance.
