Paperwork Platform Problem

Hammond's Candies, a renowned confectionery manufacturer, has been in service for over a century. However, as the company grew, the company faced persistent challenges in managing and documenting their quality assurance (QA) and production paperwork. The traditional paper-based system they relied on led to inefficiencies, inaccuracies, and delays in recording crucial data. This manual approach hindered their ability to maintain consistent quality standards, resulting in occasional errors and difficulties in tracking production processes. Hammond’s Candies recognized the urgent need to transition to a digital solution to streamline their QA and production documentation.

Solution

In response to these challenges, Hammond's Candies implemented Allera, a software platform tailored to digitize QA and production paperwork.

The software’s user-friendly interface allowed for efficient data entry and real-time access to critical information, including quality control checklists, production reports, and supplier documents.
