Case Study

Ipswich Shellfish CompanyThe team at Ipswich was looking for a software vendor and solution that would meet all of its automa-tion requirements. After looking at a variety of solutions on the market, Ipswich selected SafetyChain as its automation partner. “We felt that SafetyChain not only had all of the solution components that we re-quired for a comprehensive solution, they also had the expertise we needed to re-think dated manual processes and truly leverage the technology to its maximum,” said Bob Butcher, Group Operations Manager. The Ipswich team worked closely with its SafetyChain implementation project manager to migrate manual processes to automated workflows which resulted in successful results. “All in all, I guess you could say that when it comes to our food safety and quality automation project with Safe-tyChain, we’re as happy as a … well you know!” concluded Butcher.

Future Road MapFor the future, SafetyChain’s focus is to continue to deepen and broaden its solution for food companies.
