What happens when compliance is constant, but your systems can’t keep up?

In the cosmetics ingredients industry, quality and regulatory compliance aren’t occasional hurdles—they’re part of daily operations. For Applechem, a trusted partner to brands like Estée Lauder and Chanel, staying audit-ready wasn’t negotiable. But their existing tools made it harder, not easier. Documentation lived across file servers, email threads, and disconnected systems. Every audit cycle triggered a last-minute scramble to piece together proof of compliance.

This case study explores how Applechem overhauled that experience—not by reinventing their quality processes, but by making them run faster, clearer, and with less effort.

You’ll learn:

• What challenges Applechem faced as demand and compliance complexity grew
• Why traditional QMS platforms fell short—and why Unifize stood out
• How Applechem shifted from chasing documents to having compliance at their fingertips
• The specific changes they made to streamline change control, lot release, supplier management, and more
• What measurable impact this transformation had—from audit prep time to meeting reduction

Whether you're a quality leader juggling multiple compliance frameworks or a manufacturer looking for a simpler way to keep teams aligned, this story shows what’s possible when the right technology fits the way you already work.
