FARMINGDALE,
NY (08-09-07): EtQ,
Inc. has announced the implementation
of EtQ Compliance Management
System at Burt's Bees,
Inc., makers of fine organic
personal care products.
Over the past few years,
Burt's Bees, Inc.
has seen tremendous corporate
growth, record sales,
and increased customer
demand. As a result, they
recognized the need for
a strong quality management
system to help them maintain
the high-level of quality
and compliance they have
kept in their line of
products. After an extensive
review, Burt's Bees'
selected EtQ's Compliance
Management System to allow
them to automate their
quality process, integrate
quality to their operations,
and collaborate across
the enterprise.
Burt's Bees decision
to select EtQ came as
a result of the Food and
Drug Association's
(FDA) increasing scrutiny
on personal care and cosmetic
companies. EtQ is able
to provide a solution
that is flexible enough
to match business processes
exactly, while maintaining
compliance to FDA requirements.
Enhanced security features,
electronic signatures,
audit trail tracking,
and more have enabled
Burt's Bees to use
EtQ to maintain compliance
to FDA initiatives.
"For Burt's
Bees, EtQ is flexible
enough to adapt and scale
to their growing organization,
while maintaining the
high level of compliance
needed to meet the demands
of the FDA," says
Glenn McCarty, Chief Executive
Officer of EtQ. "Using
EtQ will allow Burt's
Bee to become more efficient
in their operations, reduce
quality issues, and make
compliance a competitive
advantage for their brand."
