When a beloved family pet developed tummy troubles, one frustrated human couldn’t find healthy dog food that helped. Taking matters into his own hands and kitchen, he began to cook simple ingredients and the troubles soon disappeared.
An idea was born with a friend to deliver health and happiness because dogs deserve better – and from cooking at night, the company has rapidly grown in 8 years.
When scaling to a new production kitchen, Safefood 360° was chosen as the platform of choice and began to deploy during 2020 ahead of the factory go-live date in 2021.
Butternut Box is now a BRCGS AA+ certified company that operates across Europe from two manufacturing facilities and show no signs of slowing down.
Implementing Food Safety and Supplier Quality Management Solutions has significantly improved compliance efficiency and facilitated a smoother manufacturing process.
With a digital-first solution teams can promptly conduct investigations and swiftly identify any discrepancies in materials, thereby pre-empting any potential issues with product quality.
This proactive approach mitigates the risk of consumers finished goods not meeting expectations and Butternut Box can confidently continue to ensure a positive experience for both dog owners and most importantly, the dogs themselves.
The implementation of an industry-specific system has enabled Butternut Box to execute their audits and traceability tests seamlessly.
This strategic approach has facilitated the attainment of the highest standards with a prestigious BRCGS AA+ recognition underpinning their expansive European operations.
