“Wakefern is an industry leader in food safety and compliance and is recognized for embracing innovative technologies to effectively run their business,” said Matt Smith, founder and chief strategy officer, icix. “We look forward to expanding their program and continued success with Wakefern.”

With icix Audit Collect, Wakefern centralizes GFSI audit and certification information directly from scheme owners and certification bodies, tracks audit performance and re-certification requirements and manages corrective and preventative actions directly with trading partners. These two applications provide a foundation for managing Wakefern’s private label supply chain. Wakefern will be leveraging the icix Product Specification application to collaborate with Private Label food manufacturers on product specifications and certifications, as well as to manage and report on nutritional and allergen information.
