The Challenge
Campbell Soup Company was operating with an Environmental Management System (EMS) that consisted of 7 stand-alone systems, each addressing a different aspect of their environmental management program. This fragmented approach was causing inconsistent documentation, limited access to data, time-consuming data gathering and dissemination, and an inability to assess the overall compliance of individual locations and the company as a whole.
About The Customer
Campbell Soup Company is a global manufacturer of high-quality foods and simple meals including soups and sauces, baked snacks and healthy beverages. These products are sold in over 120 countries worldwide. The company was founded in 1869 and currently employs over 18,000 people across its global operations. Campbell’s produces some of the most popular food and beverage brands including Campbell’s Soups, Pepperidge Farm, Prego, Pace, Swanson and V8.
The Solution
Campbell’s selected a combination of Intelex software applications, all of which operate on the web-based Intelex platform. This created an Environmental Management System that addresses each of their requirements and facilitates a 360-degree view into their organization’s environmental and sustainability performance. The new EMS is web-based and accessible to employees globally. It has hierarchical security functionality to control access by job and location. It can import and unify historical data from the previous EMS. It provides comprehensive environmental management, energy and sustainability tracking. It maintains a historical record of all environmental activities for internal and external audit purposes. It facilitates real-time environmental and sustainability data reporting, trending and analysis. It also has the ability to develop company-specific applications without the need for IT support.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
