About The Customer
Mérieux NutriSciences is a global company dedicated to helping companies worldwide find practical solutions to today’s food safety, quality, and nutrition challenges throughout the supply chain. They have been in the business for 50 years and are recognized for working with many well-known food and beverage companies. Merieux NutriSciences operates in 22 countries, runs about 100 accredited laboratories worldwide, and employs about 7,000 staff.
The Challenge
Merieux NutraSciences, a global food testing company, was struggling with its paper-based system. The manual updating of documents was time-consuming and inefficient, taking up about 5,600 hours a year in the North American Network alone. The company also had a four-step training process that was difficult to manage and track. Furthermore, the paper system made it hard to collect data for end-of-month reports, and different labs had different versions of customer methods. Reports were only shared locally, not globally, making it difficult to audit the company. Preparing for audits was a laborious process that took many hours, days, and sometimes weekends.
The Solution
After considering several options, Merieux NutriSciences chose to implement Intellect QMS. Intellect upgraded their training system to meet all of Merieux NutriSciences’ requirements, saving them time, money, and office space. The company now had all important documentation in one common place and training management became an automated, simpler process. Intellect also developed a custom application for Mérieux NutriSciences, integrating with global CRM software for customer complaints. This allowed customers to submit their information directly into the CRM software. The Intellect solution was translated into 12 languages and is used in every laboratory in the company.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
