Save Mart Adds Compliance Platform

The Save Mart Cos. has teamed with ReposiTrak, a Salt Lake City-based provider of compliance management and track-and-trace solutions, to manage regulatory and business documentation compliance within its supply chain.

Through its technology, ReposiTrak helps manage regulatory, financial and brand risk associated with safety issues in the global food, pharmaceutical and dietary supply chains. The newly adopted platform is powered by technology from ReposiTrak’s parent company, Park City Group.

Save Mart’s newly adopted platform comprises two systems: Compliance Management, which not only receives, stores and shares documentation, but also manages compliance through dashboards and alerts for missing or expired documents, and Track & Trace, which identifies product ingredients and their supply chain path in the event of a product recall. The solution can reduce the risk in the supply chain by identifying backward-chaining sources and forward-chaining recipients of products in near real time.

“At The Save Mart Cos., the health and safety of our customers is of the highest priority,” said James Orr, the grocer's chief supply chain officer.  “We were looking for a solution that would enable us to scale and automate the management of our required documents from both domestic and international vendors, and provide us with 24/7 visibility to compliance.”   

Save Mart, based in Modesto, Calif., operates 205 traditional and price-impact stores under the FoodMaxx, Lucky, Lucky California and Save Mart banners, and employs about 16,000 associates.
