Solmaz Foods
Simplified operations and strengthened traceability
When Solmaz Foods moved away from its previous ERP system, the team needed a platform that was easier to onboard, easier to use every day, and better suited to the realities of food manufacturing.
- End-to-end
- Lot traceability
- Smoother

The challenge
Like many food manufacturers, Solmaz Foods was working through the limitations of a more difficult ERP environment. Core workflows were harder to manage, staff adoption took more effort, and key operational processes were not as connected as they needed to be.
- Improve lot traceability across receiving, production, packaging, and shipping
- Stay prepared for inspector audits and compliance reviews
- Support barcode-driven workflows that reduce manual handling errors
- Connect plant operations more cleanly with accounting processes
- Improve visibility between departments using the same system

A smooth transition from a legacy ERP
ERP transitions are often viewed as disruptive and difficult to adopt. One of the biggest advantages for Solmaz Foods was how straightforward the move to QA Trace felt.
- Set up and import data from legacy ERP

- Begin using the platform with less disruption to daily operations
End-to-end traceability
Traceability was one of the clearest operational wins. QA Trace gave Solmaz Foods stronger end-to-end traceability across receiving, production, packaging, inventory, and shipping, making it easier to follow lots through the operation and retrieve records quickly when needed.
- Easier lot tracking from inbound materials to outbound shipments
- Stronger visibility across product movement
- Faster access to records for customers, internal teams, and compliance needs
Inspector-ready QA and compliance reporting
QA Trace helped Solmaz Foods improve inspector readiness and compliance support. Instead of piecing together records from multiple places, the team could work from a system built to support compliance.
- Retrieve records quickly during inspections
- Support traceability and shipping reviews with confidence
- Stay organized for QA and compliance reporting

QA Trace helped Solmaz Foods improve speed and consistency by supporting barcode-based processes across key parts of the operation, reducing avoidable entry errors and strengthening record accuracy throughout the workflow.

Integrated receiving, production, packaging, inventory, and shipping
One of the biggest improvements was operational integration. QA Trace helped Solmaz Foods connect the workflows that matter most in food manufacturing, giving the business stronger visibility, cleaner handoffs, and better coordination across departments.
QuickBooks integration
QA Trace helped support a sync between manufacturing activity and financial workflows by improving how products, customers, and invoicing-related processes align with QuickBooks — creating stronger coordination between plant operations, inventory and shipping records, customer and product data, and accounting workflows.
