Our History
In the early days the company’s primary focus was business process improvement. The company’s earliest project included helping all types of companies enhance profit by developing strategies for expense control, marketing/sales, pricing and profit control. Our customer base included a number of for profit enterprises that ranged from a cotton gin in Alabama to a Public Traded utility company. The Company was successful by drawing on its depth of practical business experience.
As the Company gained momentum with its expertise in business processes it was a natural evolution to the helping companies with their Quality Improvement initiatives. This included a partnership with the American Productivity Center Consulting Group (http://www.apgc-cg.com) in Houston Texas. This consulting group is affiliated with The American Productivity Center. The American Productivity and Quality Center (APQC), an internationally recognized non-profit organization having the leadership position in providing expertise in benchmarking. APQC is the nation’s largest repository of best practices, and a Malcolm Baldridge Award creator and sponsor. APQC has been a leader in Quality improvement for more than 30 years (http://www.apqc.com).
The most significant benchmark for Management Solutions of Virginia came in 2005 with our association with Marshfield Food Safety LLC. Marshfield Food Safety LLC was in need of a Laboratory Information Management Solution (LIMS). We developed and deployed their Qual.Linc LIMS throughout their Laboratory network. As Marshfield Food Safety LLC grew so did Management Solutions of Virginia. Working in partnership with Marshfield we not only expanded our Quality Information Management experience but also gained tremendous experience working in food safety. The company’s partnership with Marshfield Food Safety LLC gave us the opportunity to deepen our relationship with Cargill Meat Solutions and work directly with P&G;, Jennie-O Turkey Store, and Marshfield Clinics on software solutions for their Quality Food Safety Programs.
Our depth of experience in business, food safety and software development has been applied to our latest product. EnviroMap significantly enhances the process control for Environmental Testing while significantly reducing the manpower required to manage a comprehensive Environmental program.
