The customer is a North American company that provides retail sign solutions to clients ranging from small businesses to multinational organizations. With 200 employees in one location, the customer has a complex operation that consists of designing, producing, packaging and shipping products to support customer experience in retail environments. The customer uses a number of Intelex modules to support its quality management program in pursuit of operational excellence.
Challenge
- The customer had been using a paper-based approach to quality management, which produced good results but was labor intensive.
- Because the quality processes were based on spreadsheets, information wasn’t always available when it was needed.
- Only a few people were engaged with the quality processes, since they were the ones who were chasing down information in spreadsheets.

Intelex Solution
