Shepherd Foods Transformed Audit Readiness and Record Management with NORMEX

The Challenge
When the family-owned and operated business, Wonder Ice Cream, located in Santa Clara, California needed to reduce manpower hours and streamline operations, they looked towards digital solutions. The perfect solution for them was NORMEX – a software platform that automates food safety tasks and operations by eliminating paperwork.

They specialize in manufacturing specialty ice cream products under various trademarks and co-pack for the Northern California Dairy market as well as being a distributor of national branded ice cream programs. Maintaining a modern fleet of delivery vehicles, their uniformed staff services customers on regularly scheduled routes throughout Northern California from Bakersfield to the Oregon Border and most of Northern Nevada including Reno, Tahoe and Carson City.
The Result
Once Wonder decided to use NORMEX's software platform to digitize their Quality Assurance binders, they were able to reduce manpower hours by over $60k within 24 months. The streamlined process allowed for all tasks to be managed within it's centralized location which resulted in having easy access for QA employees through their computer system or mobile app, saving time and money all around. Not only did this eliminate paperwork but it also improved customer satisfaction dueing to increased accuracy and speed of service as well as fewer errors overall.
Overall, NORMEX has proven itself a great decision for Wonder Ice Cream who have seen firsthand how easily digital technology can improve service efficiency - something other small businesses like theirs should consider too!
