1. Client context

Jean Niel is a recognized industrial player in flavors and fragrances, operating in an environment where regulatory compliance and raw material quality are absolute prerequisites.

Quality, Regulatory, and Purchasing teams manage a large volume of critical supplier documents on a daily basis, which are essential for formulation, production, and product market release.

Before Tracklab, this management relied on a fragmented organization combining Excel files, internal DMS tools, and email exchanges, making overall supplier risk control complex and time-consuming.

2. Challenges before Tracklab

Jean Niel faced several structural challenges:

• Heavy onboarding processes involving multiple validations and back-and-forth between teams and suppliers.
• Complex tracking of regulatory documents, with risks related to expirations, regulatory changes, or undetected supplier updates.
• Inconsistent quality controls that were difficult to standardize depending on document or raw material type.
• Quality data that was difficult to leverage cross-functionally, slowing Purchasing and Regulatory decision-making.

These constraints represented a direct risk to formula compliance, industrial continuity, and regulatory credibility.

3. Solutions implemented with Tracklab

Jean Niel deployed Tracklab to structure and secure all supplier and raw material document management processes.

Today, the platform enables Jean Niel to:

• Centralize supplier documents in a single, structured, and always up-to-date database.
• Manage supplier onboarding and supplier–raw material approval statuses, with shared visibility across Quality, Regulatory, and Purchasing teams.
• Automate regulatory deadline tracking, with alerts and supplier reminders without manual intervention.
• Strengthen quality and regulatory controls through AI-based pre-validation, automated version comparison, and decision support on compliance.

Tracklab has become a shared foundation across teams, reducing dependency on files and individuals.

4. Results achieved

With Tracklab, Jean Niel was able to:

• Significantly reduce time spent on low–value-added manual tasks.
• Continuously secure supplier regulatory compliance, without operational overload during audits or regulatory changes.
• Improve collaboration between Quality, Regulatory, and Purchasing teams through reliable, shared, and traceable information.
• Strengthen supplier risk control while maintaining the agility required for innovation and formulation.

5. Sustainability and outlook

Today, Tracklab supports Jean Niel in a logic of sustainable performance by securing critical processes without rigidifying the organization.

Structuring supplier and raw material data opens the door to more advanced use of quality and regulatory data, enabling faster, safer, and better-documented decision-making.

Jean Niel now benefits from industrial and regulatory governance aligned with the demands of its markets.
