About Nate Call, Cmq/Oe

https://calendly.com/nate-call/introductionI founded Qualitas to attack the pervasive issues we all face in CPG quality and compliance. So, what do we do? Our battle-tested team builds, audits, and can fractionally lead Quality Management Systems and Compliance Management Systems for CPG brands and manufacturers in categories like:-dietary supplements-food and beverage-beauty/cosmetics-tattoo products-pet products-OTC drugsWe do this by building a gap assessment plan, find improvement opportunities, and get to work. The systems we build are built WITH you so when our work is done, you know what you're doing.Don’t worry, that’s not all we do!Qualitas can do anything and everything a traditional Quality & Compliance team can do, including:-QMS/CMS development and deployment-Act as your fractional Head of Quality/Compliance-Supplier auditing-GMP gap analyses-Label reviews-Formula reviews-Claim substantiation-Specification development-Testing program design-Website compliance reviews-Strategic advisory-Quality investigations-Private equity due diligence and value creationWe work with companies of all shapes and sizes. Our consultants have walked the walk - they've built best-in-class systems that meet the needs of any business. Quality & Compliance systems should be built and continuously improved based on your company size, risk tolerance, and market position. The systems needed by a $50mm CPG brand are quite different than those needed by a $5mm or $500mm brand. You know this, we know this, and will work together to build the system that can keep your promise of quality to your customer.Personally, I've built and led brand and manufacturing Quality & Compliance teams for about 15 years across multiple categories like dietary supplements, beauty, and food. Having audited 500+ manufacturers in 36+ countries, I've developed simple ways to identify and attack improvement opportunities; without solving every problem with thousands of dollars. The "old way" of building technical systems is boring, slow, and ineffective. We build systems that make sense, can be deployed quickly, and are effective. Set up a time to chat about how we can take your brand or facility to the next level:Quality starts here.
