Customer & co-pack account management · Food processing & co-packing
Customer specs honored on every run.
A brand owner emails a revised formula, new artwork, and a tighter net-weight tolerance for the next run. Miss the spec or BOM and the lot ships non-conforming.
The reality
Co-packing is a specification problem.
Every co-pack customer owns the spec, and the spec changes constantly: new formulas, revised artwork, updated allergen statements, tighter weight tolerances. When a change does not flow into the production documents, the line runs to an old spec and the customer gets a non-conforming lot.
The operator owns co-pack agreements, specification management, and customer reporting end to end. It logs each change, updates the controlled spec and BOM, confirms the revision back to the customer, and sends the production and QA reports they expect after every run.
