1. Client context

Vitalac is a recognized industrial player in animal feed, based in Brittany, France, designing and manufacturing feed additives for livestock supply chains.

In this sector, sanitary and regulatory control of raw materials is a critical challenge, directly linked to animal safety, regulatory compliance, and industrial continuity.

Before Tracklab, supplier document management relied on a fragmented, manual organization combining Excel files, shared folders, and email exchanges.

2. Challenges before Tracklab

Vitalac had to deal with several major constraints:

• Complex tracking of sanitary and quality documents, with multiple deadlines depending on raw materials.
• Production stoppage risks when non-compliances or expirations were detected too late.
• Time-consuming quality controls, inconsistent across documents and difficult to demonstrate during audits.
• Strong dependency on Quality teams, often mobilized urgently at the expense of higher value-added tasks.

These constraints represented a direct operational and industrial risk.

3. Solutions implemented with Tracklab

Vitalac deployed Tracklab to structure, automate, and secure all supplier and raw material compliance processes.

Today, the platform enables Vitalac to:

• Centralize all supplier and raw material documents in a single, structured, and up-to-date database.
• Manage raw material approval status, with quality validation shared between Quality and Purchasing teams.
• Automate regulatory deadline tracking, with early alerts and supplier reminders.
• Strengthen quality controls through AI-based pre-validation, automated version comparison, and decision support.

Tracklab has become a key tool for securing production operations.

4. Results achieved

With Tracklab, Vitalac was able to:

• Drastically reduce non-compliance risks impacting production.
• Streamline workflows between Quality, Purchasing, and Production with reliable, shared information.
• Reduce operational workload related to documentary tasks without compromising sanitary requirements.
• Increase its ability to onboard new suppliers and raw materials without adding organizational complexity.

Supplier compliance is now anticipated, demonstrable, and industrialized.

5. Sustainability and outlook

Today, Tracklab supports Vitalac in a logic of sustainable industrial performance by securing regulatory and sanitary fundamentals.

The structuring of supplier and raw material data opens the door to:

• Better risk anticipation,
• More advanced use of quality data,
• A gradual move toward even more predictive compliance management.

Vitalac now has a robust foundation to secure its growth while maintaining a high level of sanitary standards.
