Customers are at the forefront of everything we do at Specright. They are change makers, reimagining how their companies operate and produce products and packaging. As Specright’s annual Specification Management Summit came to a close in January, the entire company was thrilled to hear incredible presentations and conversations highlighting data, sustainability, change management, sustainability, and more. Each year we are more and more excited about the innovative change companies are implementing with the help of Specification Data Management. 

At Specright, we love to share these exciting stories with a wider audience and recognize our customers for their innovative change. That’s why we created the Spec Awards, an awards program, highlighting the change-makers that have incorporated a spec-first approach to impact efficiency, innovation, and sustainability. 

Last year we were thrilled to give awards out to Jack in the Box, Central Garden and Pet, Dermalogica, and Taylor Farms for their incredible implementation of Specification Management into their businesses. You can read last year's full press release here. 

Today we’re excited to announce the start of the second annual Spec Awards! 

Award Categories and Submission Process:

The award program will feature three categories, including:

• Efficiency Award: This award goes to an organization or individual who has gained tremendous efficiencies through a spec-first approach (e.g. time savings, faster speed to market).
• Visionary Award: This award highlights someone who has used a spec-first approach to transform their business. 
• Sustainability Award: This award highlights an organization or individual who has used specification data to drive sustainability in their organization or with their suppliers. 
• Industry Innovator: This award recognizes an organization that has demonstrated exceptional creativity, forward-thinking, and pioneering application of specification data, creating significant advancements or setting new standards within their industry. 

Each category explores how an organization managed data prior to using Specright, along with the impact and outcomes the organization has achieved since implementing a spec-first approach. 

All Specright customers are encouraged to apply for this opportunity to highlight their implementation of a spec-first approach to make amazing things and propel their organization's digital transformation. Organizations can submit entries across more than one category.

Those interested in applying can submit through this link. The submission form should take no longer than 10 minutes. 

Submission Period and Winners Announced

The Spec Awards are now open and will run through Friday, June 14th, 2024. All entries will be reviewed by a panel of Specright executives and industry leaders, and winners will be notified via email in June. Each winner will be featured in a future blog post, interviewed during a LinkedIn live with Specright Founder & CEO, Matthew Wright, and will be honored with a “spec” award at the next Specification Management Summit, Feb 5-7, 2025, in Nashville.

We are so excited at this opportunity to highlight our amazing customers and look forward to all of your incredible submissions! If there are any questions, please contact hello@specright.com for assistance.
