TraceGains Advanced Supplier Management Helps Specialty Food Ingredients of Fargo ND

Jan. 29, 2014 - PRLog -- TraceGains, food and beverage manufacturers and distributors compliance and regulatory document management solution, is profiled in an article, titled, “Advanced Supplier Management Means Better Business for Specialty Food Ingredients,” authored by Jaan Koel.

Specialty Food Ingredients of Fargo, ND, is a privately-owned company that imports and distributes nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and many other products to food manufacturers. SFI Vice President Quality Control Jessica Dodd noted, “With the advent of the Food Safety Management Act, our need to track and document each supplier and item has grown exponentially. Before, we did everything—product and supplier profiles--manually. Two years ago, we realized we needed a whole new system that could do that for us automatically.”

To deliver the requirements set out by FSMA, Dodd knew her company would need an electronic document management supplier that offered highly automated and user friendly software. “Two years ago, I was at a conference and heard a presentation by Gary Nowacki, CEO of TraceGains Inc., a company specialized in this area. What I heard fit our needs perfectly. We needed to look no further, and have not looked back,” explained Dodd.

Dodd shared, “The beauty of TraceGains’ system is the many action forms they email to our suppliers. It’s really handy. The supplier types information into the blank areas of each form and, when they email them back to us, the information automatically populates the corresponding fields within our customized software. This means we don’t have to type in anything ourselves, which saves us an enormous amount of time and money.”
