TUSTIN, Calif., May 4, 2023 Specright, the leader in Specification Management software, and Bob Evans Farms, Inc., maker of America’s #1 selling refrigerated side dishes, today announced an expanded partnership to help digitize and manage product specifications, drive the product innovation pipeline and improve day-to-day operations for the food manufacturer. 

“As consumers, we’re big fans of Bob Evans Farms at Specright and are thrilled to be expanding our business partnership to help the team make amazing products and boost business performance,” said Matthew Wright, Specright’s Founder & CEO. “Our patented Specification Data Management™ platform will allow the company to speed up the product development process to keep pace with rapid consumer demand for new and innovative products, and will free their employees from spending time chasing data.”

Bob Evans Farms began its partnership with Specright in 2022, applying its spec-first approach to digital asset management (DAM), which produced quick and impactful results for the Bob Evans Farms team. The company will now scale Specright’s capabilities across the entire Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) function to drive business transformation. 

“As we evaluate which technologies to implement in our organization, we look for tools that can scale in a way that supports ongoing growth opportunities,” said Andy Norman, Vice President of Information Technology at Bob Evans Farms. “Expanding our partnership with Specright to manage specification data across the entire product life cycle was an easy choice and sets us up for success in enhancing and developing innovative products while also ensuring our workforce is more efficient. We’re excited to further leverage Specright’s flexible platform so we can reduce existing manual, resource-intensive processes.”

Driven by a spec-first approach, Specright’s Specification Data Management™ platform allows Bob Evans Farms to centralize and standardize data across various components of the food supply chain and collaborate across suppliers and partners. Accessibility to this spec-level data provides increased visibility into ingredients, formulas and finished goods while driving better cost savings initiatives.
