Check out how these companies implemented LoadState to automate their compliance information.

Sub-Zero and Wolf

Sub-Zero is a brand of residential major kitchen appliances including refrigeration and wine preservation products built in the USA by the Sub-Zero Freezer Company, Inc. The company also manufactures kitchen appliances under the Wolf brand name.

The Challenge

Sub-Zero and Wolf had developed a process for retrieving compliance information from suppliers that relied on spreadsheets and documents. The process was time consuming, resulted in information silos, and required manual entry of data into their ERP system. They needed to find a better way to collect supplier information around compliance, and a solution that would prevent information fragmentation silos.

The Solution

Since they were in the process of implementing Agile PLM already, they decided that the Agile Product Governance & Compliance module would be a good fit for their particular business pain and they worked with Zero Wait-State to configure the module. With the help of LoadState, software developed to automate the process of importing compliance spreadsheets and regulatory documents into Agile, they were able to make their Compliance efforts less painful and more efficient.

The Benefits

With the increased efficiency in their compliance efforts Sub-Zero was able to focus on other initiatives and priorities. They were able to enjoy this increase in efficiency without having to completely revolutionize their compliance process- suppliers were still able to provide information in a familiar fashion.
