Evolution Co-Pack built food safety in four sessions.
Evolution Co-Pack is a contract manufacturing and co-packing company based in Payson, Utah, helping brands move products from concept to finished, market-ready packages. Founded in 2022, the company serves food, beverage, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and household product categories, with capabilities including powders, capsules, gummies, stick packs, bottling, tablets, soft gels, and customized packaging formats.
For a young co-packer, flexibility is a major advantage, but every new customer, formulation, ingredient, and production run also adds food safety and inventory responsibilities.
That challenge became more urgent when several customers began requiring GMP certification. Evolution Co-Pack needed to strengthen its food safety program while creating a more organized approach to inventory management.
Rather than outsourcing the entire system, the company wanted its own employees to understand how to build, maintain, and adapt the program as the business grew. FoodReady combined software, consulting, and hands-on training to help the team take ownership.
After just four training sessions, Evolution Co-Pack employees were equipped to build their own HACCP plans, SOPs, checklists, and inventory management workflows inside FoodReady.

Customers wanted GMP certification. Evolution needed a system its own team could run.
As a co-packer managing multiple customers, formulations, packaging formats, and production requirements, Evolution Co-Pack needed flexible systems that could keep food safety records and controls organized.
When several customers began requiring GMP certification, the company needed to strengthen its food safety program while also improving inventory management across ingredients, packaging materials, and finished products.
Evolution wanted more than compliance documents. It needed one system for food safety and inventory that employees could manage, maintain, and adapt internally as the business grew.
What Evolution Co-Pack needed
- GMP certification readiness - Strengthen food safety systems around customer requirements
- HACCP capability - Give employees the tools to build plans around different processes
- Standard Operating Procedures - Create repeatable instructions for production and food safety activities
- Digital checklists - Turn procedures into consistent, documented workflows
- Inventory management - Improve visibility into materials and production needs
- Employee training - Build internal knowledge instead of depending entirely on outside consultants
- Flexible configuration - Adapt the system as customers and products changed
- Scalable processes - Create a foundation capable of supporting business growth
How Evolution Co-Pack moved from needing GMP support to building its own program.
FoodReady focused on training Evolution’s team rather than simply delivering finished documents. This gave employees the knowledge to manage and adapt food safety and inventory processes internally.
GMP & Food Safety Requirements Review
The project began with Evolution Co-Pack’s need to meet customer-driven GMP certification requirements. FoodReady helped the team strengthen its food safety documentation and operational systems while also improving inventory management.
This allowed Evolution to address compliance and day-to-day production needs within one connected system.
Team Training
FoodReady specialists trained Evolution employees directly on the software, showing them how to create and configure their own food safety workflows, not just complete forms. After four training sessions, the team had the foundation to continue building and managing the program internally.
HACCP Plans Built by the Team
With FoodReady’s HACCP tools and consulting support, Evolution employees learned to build and update their own HACCP plans. For a co-packer managing changing customers, products, and processes, this gave the team greater flexibility and reduced reliance on static outside documentation.
SOPs Developed in the Same System
Evolution employees also learned to create and maintain SOPs within FoodReady, helping turn food safety requirements into consistent operating practices. Keeping SOPs alongside HACCP documentation created a more connected and easier-to-manage food safety program.
Digital Checklists Created
Evolution used FoodReady to create digital checklists that turned HACCP requirements and SOPs into routine employee tasks. For management, these records also made it easier to verify that required activities were completed consistently.
Inventory Management Implemented
Inventory became one of Evolution Co-Pack’s most valued FoodReady features. By managing inventory in the same system as food safety, the team gained better visibility into materials across different customer products without relying on a separate workflow.
Ongoing Consulting Support
After the initial four training sessions, Evolution continued working with FoodReady consultants to refine its food safety plans, checklists, and inventory workflows. This hybrid approach allowed Evolution employees to maintain ownership of the system while still having access to FoodReady’s expertise when needed.

Proof that matters, to auditors and to buyers.
After four FoodReady training sessions, Evolution Co-Pack employees were equipped to build their own HACCP plans, SOPs, checklists, and inventory workflows.
For a growing co-packer, flexibility is essential. As new customers and products introduce different ingredients, processes, packaging formats, and food safety requirements, Evolution needed a system that could adapt with the business.
FoodReady gave the team the ability to configure workflows internally while also connecting inventory management with food safety—one of the features owner Kim Nuttall valued most.
"There are so many parts of the software that we absolutely love! The inventory is probably one of our favourite parts, though."
A co-packer needs flexibility because no two customers are exactly alike.
Evolution Co-Pack’s business is built around helping other companies manufacture and package products to their specifications. Its food safety software needed to offer the same flexibility.
The team could build its own workflows
Employees were trained to create HACCP plans, checklists, and SOPs instead of depending on a consultant every time something needed to change.
Inventory lived alongside food safety
FoodReady allowed Evolution to address an operational priority and a compliance priority through the same system.
Training created internal ownership
Four guided sessions gave the staff practical experience using the software and developing its own program.
Consulting remained available when needed
Evolution could operate the system independently while still having access to additional FoodReady expertise for more complex food safety questions.
