Implementing a new supplier management system is rarely straightforward. Between legacy processes, cross-functional stakeholders, and suppliers hesitant to change, even the right technology can struggle to gain traction, especially when manual document review slows everything down.
In this webinar, Alex Sullivan, a quality systems leader who led TraceGains implementations at leading F&B brands shares real-world perspective on what it actually takes to move from platform selection to successful deployment. The session explores how teams configure supplier management workflows without heavy engineering support, drive adoption internally and externally, and use AI-powered Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) to eliminate manual compliance bottlenecks like COA review and document validation.
What you’ll learn:
- How to move from system selection to rollout by configuring supplier, spec, and compliance workflows that fit your business without relying on custom engineering.
-
Where AI-powered IDP delivers immediate value, from automating COA ingestion to extracting and validating supplier data across inconsistent document formats.
-
How to drive adoption with both teams and suppliers, including how to address common concerns and reduce friction during system transitions.
👉 This session is ideal for food and beverage teams implementing or optimizing a supplier management system and looking to scale compliance with speed, accuracy, and confidence.
