The food and beverage industry is exceptionally competitive and highly regulated – particularly for manufacturers with global presence.
Consumers demand comprehensive, accurate information and clean labels, retailers demand increased productivity and lower prices, and regulatory agencies demand compliance with ever-changing directives.
Lack of transparency, traceability and visibility into production processes, product data and supply chain management slows organizational growth, increases both hard and soft costs and reduces razor-thin profit margins.
Faced with these challenges, it can be difficult to rise above the competition – but not for organizations that have the right tools for the job.

SpecPage’s formula-based lifecycle management software delivers a holistic approach to these challenges – empowering food and beverage manufacturers to accelerate innovations, leverage new product trends and introductions, streamline costs, and deliver better-quality products with enhanced global regulatory compliance to reduce risk.
