About

PepsiCo ANZ is a manufacturer of snack products, including Red Rock Deli, Twisties, and Smiths chips. Since 2018, they have used Rapid across four factories in Australia and New Zealand to manage their contractors’ compliance, inductions, and site access.  

The challenge

Before implementing Rapid, PepsiCo ANZ faced significant obstacles in contractor management, such as a time-consuming paperwork process, difficulties in verifying contractor certifications, and ensuring that contractors completed necessary inductions before arriving onsite. 

"We used to spend an inordinate amount of time manually checking contractors' details. Ensuring contractors met our global insurance requirements was a challenging task,"

The solution

Rapid provided a user-friendly, cost-effective, and efficient solution to PepsiCo ANZ’s challenges. The solution freed up valuable time for the health and safety team, shifting their focus to onsite hazard identification instead of manual checks. 

We found Rapid to have a user-friendly interface, as well as providing just the right balance between cost and personalization we needed. It improved efficiency on several levels, from easy accessibility for various user types to cost-effectiveness compared to other vendors we considered.

Rapid’s solution ensured compliant contractors – both in terms of completing required inductions and meeting stringent insurance requirements. The automation of these processes led to significant time efficiency for the Health and Safety team. 

The results

The introduction of Rapid significantly improved PepsiCo ANZ’s overall operations, facilitating the swift and accurate management of thousands of contractor records. It streamlined the compliance and induction process, largely reducing questions and issues from contractors. 

It not only made the process much more efficient and accurate but also gave us a platform to promote our sustainability goals like the PEP Positive initiative to the contractors, ensuring they know our policies which were implemented to help meet these goals.

Steady, long-term engagement with Rapid has guaranteed operational efficiencies, and improved safety measures, and supports a culture of sustainability within PepsiCo ANZ.  

The transition to paperless, digital-focused systems brings immense value and efficiency. With Rapid, not only do we assure better compliance, but we also create a cost-effective, adaptable solution to ensure we continue to run safely and sustainably.
