Transforming Strauss with Vitre: A Journey Towards Operational Excellence

Strauss, one of the largest food manufacturing companies in Israel, encompasses 9 different factories and 5 logistics locations, serving the national and international markets with a wide variety of quality food products. The company faced challenges in reporting, preventing, and identifying Safety issues, Quality NCRs, HACCP events, and recalls. Streamlining its processes and enhancing efficiency across all EHSQ and operational areas were critical.

1. Complexity in Reporting and Identifying Issues

With such an extensive operation, Strauss found it difficult to manage a comprehensive view of safety and quality events, leading to delays and inaccuracies in reporting.

2. Inefficiency in Maintenance and Quality Control Activities

Maintaining the proper functioning of the machinery and ensuring product quality was becoming a labor-intensive process, involving a lot of manual intervention.

3. Lack of Real-Time Insights

The absence of real-time monitoring made it hard for the management to make informed decisions quickly, which impacted the overall responsiveness to issues.

With the implementation of Vitre, Strauss gained the ability to check their equipment, maintenance, periodic checks, certifications, etc., all within a single platform. This not only eliminated the need for multiple tools but also greatly reduced the complexity of managing the vast amount of equipment involved.
