Lipari Foods is a wholesale food distributor and manufacturer that serves customers in 32 states across the U.S.. Lipari delivers a full range of grocery and retail goods sourced from over 40 global suppliers.

Lipari Foods, a grocery distributor and food manufacturer based out of Warren, MI, recognized a need to revamp and automate their FDA compliance processes due to three pressing problems: 

• Improper DUNS number utilization: Unknown to Lipari, former importers were misleadingly using their DUNS number, thus exposing them to risk with the FDA 
• FSVP documents managed manually: They used Microsoft OneNote to manually conduct the follow-up process for gaining updated FSVP documentation and stored the files in a folder on their hard drive 
• Cost of sourcing suppliers: The Lipari sourcing team was flying around the globe looking for new FDA-compliant importers to provide alternatives for their supply chain 

With ComplyHub, Registrar Corp assisted Lipari to: 

• Establish a process to remove invalid suppliers and prevent fraudulent activity of the former importers still using their DUNS numbers 
• Organize all required FSVP documentation using the Manage Documents feature and receive alerts when updated files were needed from their suppliers 
• Quickly locate FDA-compliant secondary or tertiary suppliers during supply chain issues with Find Qualified Suppliers’ active supplier directory
