CMX1 is the only Enterprise Quality and Risk Management solution designed to manage all your supply chain partners, products, and locations with confidence — all in a single platform.
Our clients come primarily from the food and beverage, retail, grocery, manufacturing, hospitality, and services sectors. However, if your company is highly regulated, distributed and you want to execute with excellence each and every day, let's talk.
We know you're busy, so you can be sure that all of the articles, ebooks, and content we share will provide you with knowledge and insights that will actually help you in your role.
CMX exists to help organizations of all sizes achieve and maintain Quality and Operational Excellence. We have the tools, people, know-how, and experience to get your business to where it needs to be.
Pivot, innovate and adapt (and repeat over and over) has been the norm in the last year. And as we now enter the recovery phase, all indications show that COVID-19 will have a lasting impact on consumer (and employee) behaviors, preferences, and expectations.
Cleanliness, sanitation, health, and safety have all shifted to the forefront of the customer experience. And the brands that have thrived during this time have all been able to demonstrate their commitment to safety, while still providing a convenient and enjoyable guest experience. It's no easy task - which is why digital tools have essentially become a mandatory requirement for success.
CMX1's Digital Transformation solution ActivityStudio® enables brands to quickly adjust, adapt, communicate, and perform across their locations with consistency, compliance, and confidence.
In this new normal - safety, cleanliness, hygiene, and sanitation practices are more important than ever to the customer experience - and for compliance and risk mitigation.
Here are just a few of the challenges we're helping brands overcome while adapting their operations:
As the CDC continues to update its guidelines and state and local mandates change, it's a challenge to keep your team and locations up-to-date with the latest policies and procedures. Scamble no longer! CMX1 gives you the tools to update and empower your team with clear instructions on how to execute in order to protect health and safety and maintain customer confidence. All in real-time.
Whether you are a global brand or a regional chain, it’s a real challenge to ensure your SOPs are getting done, done correctly, and being done with consistency. Training isn't enough. Outside audits are helpful but too infrequent. CMX1 enables you to digitally transform your policies and procedures into instructional programs in the form of checklists, audits, assessments, and inspections. All designed for taking action with clarity and consistency.
When you lack visibility to what is happening in your locations, you are literally "in the dark" and in constant reactionary mode. CMX1 is designed to give you real-time, detailed visibility of status and issue tracking across all your locations. Know with confidence that your operational, safety and sanitation procedures are being carried out each time, every day.
With everything going on in your locations, keeping detailed logs and records may feel like an impossibility, but frankly, it should be at the top of your list. Showing you have policies and procedures in place for protecting customers and employees, and evidence of following those procedures will be critical in the new normal. CMX1 automatically records all the responses and corrective actions taken by your team with date and time stamps and organizes the timeline all in one place.
With safety top of mind for you, your customers, and your staff, other vital aspects of your customer experience such as convenience and your unique brand personality might take a hit.
However, this need not be the case!
Check out a customer roundtable webinar we held with Chick-fil-A, Checkers & Rally’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Firehouse Subs, and Sizzling Platter on how they've all leveraged CMX1 to digitally transform their operational routines for quality, safety, risk, and compliance - and how it’s provided them with a flexible platform to overcome COVID-19 challenges.

Digital tools for rebuilding trust, mitigating risk, and executing with consistency, compliance, and confidence.
As policies and SOPs evolve, turn them into "Operational Playbooks" for employees to deliver the optimal customer experience and ensure the quality, safety, compliance, and consistency of operations across all your locations. With PolicyStudio, CMX1's Policy Management solution, you can easily create and manage electronic, searchable Brand Standards Guides, Policy Manuals, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and training documentation for company-wide use. Equip your team members with up-to-the-minute instructions, examples, and resources to complete any task.
With ActivityStudio™ you'll be able to inspect your retail food establishments in preparation for reopening. Our reopening checklist is based on FDA recommendations for reopening previously closed locations or those that have been open with limited service related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Make sure you've addresses key food safety practices before re-opening and restarting indoor operations!
Let's all hope we are close to not needing these, but until then - ActivityStudio™ has proven to be an effective tool for many of our customers for performing pre-shift employee wellness checks. Our form is based on CDC guidelines for conducting daily health checks including *temperature monitoring and screening for COVID-19 symptoms or exposure.
*The EEO laws, including the ADA and Rehabilitation Act, continue to apply during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, but they do not interfere with or prevent employers from following the guidelines and suggestions made by the CDC or state/local public health authorities about steps employers should take regarding COVID-19.
ActivityStudio™ can be leveraged to perform post-shift audits to review and document that all required safety, health, and sanitation procedures have been completed. Including employee wellness checks, the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), hygiene such as handwashing, and social distancing practices, along with cleaning and sanitizing high-touch areas, equipment, and customer and employee environments.
ActivityStudio™ can also be used to report, investigate and document workplace illnesses, injuries, near misses, accidents, and general safety issues. CMX1's Incident Reporting form is modeled after OSHA, and other industry best practices.
When non-conformances are identified by your team, rest easy knowing CMX1 has a fully integrated workflow for addressing and reviewing Corrective and Preventative Actions (CAPAs). Recommended corrective actions give your team clear instructions on what to do next, and how to respond. CMX1 can detect repeat issues, enforce timeframes to respond by based on criticality, send reminders, escalate critical issues to management, and identify trends where additional training and coaching is needed.
The CMX1 Platform has been proven to be equally adept for smaller companies all the way to global brands. Whatever your scale, we can have you up and running quickly, just like Sizzling Platter (500+ locations in 2 weeks) and Buffalo Wild Wings (1200+ locations in 4 weeks). Start small with a single need, or implement CMX1 in full from the get-go and experience end-to-end confidence in your supply chain partners, products, and locations.
