Volpi Foods is a specialty food manufacturer known for their high-quality cured meats and artisanal products. As a growing food company, maintaining strong supplier relationships and ensuring compliance across their supply chain is critical to their success and food safety standards.Managing supplier documentation effectively has always been essential for Volpi Foods. When Joy took over supplier management, she implemented Allera to transition the company from manual processes to a systematic approach.
The Volpi Foods team was managing supplier documentation manually with excel and spreadsheets, but as their supplier network grew to over 50 suppliers, it became clear they needed a more automatic system. According to Joy, the team was struggling with complex documentation requirements, but as their compliance needs grew more demanding, they realized the need for a supplier management platform that could scale the impact of their quality assurance operations.
After vetting a bunch of supplier management partners, Volpi Foods identified that they wanted a platform that was able to grow alongside them as they continued to scale the company. After onboarding with Allera, they knew they would be the right partner for this.
Allera partnered with Volpi Foods to streamline supplier management. By starting small, Allera was able to kickoff with a few suppliers which setup for long-term success to scale to 50+ suppliers collecting 1000+ documents.
