Qualtrax, Inc. Welcomes New Customer: Ed Miniat

Christiansburg, VA, August 01, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Qualtrax, Inc. recently welcomed Ed Miniat, Inc. to its customer base. Ed Miniat began as a small, family-owned business in 1896 and became Ed Miniat, Inc. in 1958. The company now has two plants and supplies cooked meat products and edible oils to food processors nationwide.

Ed Miniat currently complies with USDA and is implementing SQF standards as part of their Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) requirements. By complying to SQF standards, consumers can be certain that they are purchasing products that have been prepared and handled with utmost care. During its SQF 2000 implementation, Ed Miniat found itself in need of a document control solution.

“We were looking for something that could handle document control and workflows,” commented Food Safety Manager, Lynn Geise. “Even when documents were stored in our internal computer files we had a hard time finding things because of multiple folders and document copies.” In addition to the base Qualtrax system, Ed Miniat uses the document imaging module: a tool designed to seamlessly scan hard-copy documentation into searchable, electronic files. As high volumes of paper documentation come in from suppliers and clients on a regular basis, Ed Miniat can quickly convert information into an electronic format that is easily organized and searchable within its Qualtrax system.

Every department in both plants will be using Qualtrax. “Everyone has different ideas for how their department will use the software,” stated Geise. “Everything from job descriptions, work procedures, training, and data from CCPs will be managed in Qualtrax.” About 400 users will have access to the software.
