Challenges Before Adoption
■ Background
D Food needed HACCP certification to supply private-label (PB) products to large supermarket chains.
• No production history management system, relying on handwritten records
• Inadequate data collection and storage for temperature/humidity monitoring equipment
• Constant risk of data loss from aging servers
• Concern about staff adapting to a new system due to limited IT skills
• Need to meet certification requirements within a limited IT budget
In particular, with the deadline for the supermarket supply contract only 6 months away, a rapid build was required.

Results
■ Results
Quantitative results:
• HACCP certification audit: passed in the first round (0 corrective items)
• Traceability time: 4 hours → 10 minutes on average (96% shorter)
• Missing data records: 15% → 0% (fully automated)
• Temperature deviation incidents: 12 → 2 per year (83% reduction)
Qualitative results:
• Signed a supermarket PB product supply contract (₩4.5 billion per year)
• Scope of impact can be identified within 30 minutes in the event of a food recall
• Lighter workload for on-site staff (handwriting → tablet touch)
• Real-time plant monitoring from HQ
"At first, we worried that introducing an IT system would be a burden for our floor staff. But YourIT provided training tailored to their level, and many said their work actually became easier."
