HTBA Selects TrackWise Digital to Deliver Digital Quality Management Across Specialized Ingredients Value Chain October 14, 2020 HAMILTON, NJ – OCTOBER 14, 2020 – Today, Sparta Systems announced that HTBA (HealthTech BioActives), a leading global company specializing in flavonoids and vitamin B-12 derivatives, has selected TrackWise Digital® as its next-generation quality management platform. Following a recent divesture, HTBA chose TrackWise Digital QMS to accelerate its digital strategy while simplifying and standardizing quality processes. “We wanted to embrace digital transformation from the outset and establish a robust quality management platform to support our growth,” said Francisco Matas, HTBA IT Manager. “With TrackWise Digital, we have a modern and innovative QMS that supports our cloud strategy and will enable us to quickly consolidate and scale both our quality and document management systems. Having the support of our trusted partners, Sparta Systems and TDV, will be critical as we look to migrate, simplify and integrate quality processes and data in a new digital environment.” Another key factor in HTBA’s selection of TrackWise Digital was the availability of Sparta’s Quality Process Accelerators (QPAs). These allow HTBA to standardize its quality processes based on industry best practices ensuring a faster time-to-value and efficient compliance. Sparta Vice President of Digital Innovation, Stephen McCarthy, said, “Mergers and divestures are commonplace in the Life Sciences industry and often drive a reassessment of internal processes. The need to unify data on an agile, robust cloud-based QMS that can be quickly implemented and adopted is critical in helping organizations become compliant and operational rapidly. With TrackWise Digital, HTBA can ensure its products meet the highest quality standards while enjoying streamlined and efficient quality operations as it continues to grow its global specialized ingredients business.” About HTBA HTBA (HealthTech BioActives) – now of The Riverside Company – is a world-leading company highly specialized in flavonoids and vitamin B12 derivatives.
