Drowning in Documentation

In F&B manufacturing, compliance isn't optional—it's survival. But for this company, meeting audit requirements meant drowning in paperwork while trying to keep production running.

Endless Excel Reports

Hours spent compiling, updating, and formatting spreadsheets for management review

Audit Anxiety

Scrambling to locate documentation when auditors arrived, risking compliance failures
