About The Customer
HelloFresh is the leading global provider of fresh food at home. The company focuses on every step of the farm-to-door journey, shipping meal kits to millions of Americans, each filled with all of the ingredients necessary to prepare three to five different meals. HelloFresh has over 2,500 employees in the United States who provide millions of meals that are carefully planned, carefully sourced and delivered to the front door of each subscriber at the time most convenient for them. Behind the scenes, a huge, data-driven technology platform acts as the engine that drives the business. This allows them to consistently manage supply chains and demand, and to optimize the customer experience as well as their business. In 2017, HelloFresh became the first meal kit company to be SQF (Safe Quality Food) certified at all locations.
The Challenge
HelloFresh, a leading global provider of fresh food at home, was facing challenges in optimizing customer experience and improving supplier relationships. The company works with hundreds of suppliers and its product—meal kits— is perishable. This unique business model required a reliable supply chain to ensure the delivery of meal kits to millions of Americans. The company also aimed to become an industry leader by going above and beyond industry standards and anticipating future needs and requirements. However, the process of growth and transition from a small startup to an industry leader was not without pain points. The company needed to enhance its approach to processes, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and corrective actions for nonconformances.
The Solution
HelloFresh turned to Intelex, a global leader in environmental, health, safety and quality (EHSQ) management software. The Supplier Quality Management Team at HelloFresh used Intelex to follow documentation requirements, conduct audits and follow up on supplier corrective actions. The company used a number of Intelex applications, including Document Control, Supplier Relationship Management, Inspection Management, Nonconformance Reporting, Corrective Action Reporting and modules related to health and safety management. The Document Control module was used by all production employees and served as the hub for the company’s SOPs. The Inspection Management module was used to conduct supplier quality and food safety audits. The Supplier Relationship Management module was used to ensure all documentation and any supplier corrective actions were completed. Suppliers were given direct access to the module, where they could upload documentation and answer any corrective actions.

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.
