  • How a Spec-first approach is helping Central Garden & Pet optimize its "Cost Out" strategy
  • How they are using Specright to improve quality management, manage product inspections, and track productivity across multiple business units
  • A future outlook on 3+ year strategy that includes Specright Network
"For those looking at Spec Network, it would be a great tool, because you can work with your suppliers to put information in the system. A lot of suppliers actually own their common specs. If your suppliers are on Network everything is up to date and they can just share it with you in real time."
