HelloFresh Partners with Facilio for Refrigeration Compliance
HelloFresh, known for its meal kits, has recently taken a significant step towards enhancing its refrigeration compliance operations across its facilities in the U.S. by partnering with Facilio to implement their Connected Refrigeration platform. This move underscores HelloFresh’s commitment to not only efficiency but also to adhering to evolving regulatory requirements in the food industry.
Modernizing Refrigeration Processes
Operating under well-known brands including Factor, Green Chef, and EveryPlate, HelloFresh oversees an extensive network of distribution and food preparation facilities. As regulatory complexities surrounding refrigerant management have intensified, HelloFresh recognized the need for greater consistency, visibility, and responsiveness within its compliance processes. The collaboration with Facilio aims to transform these processes through digitization, establishing a scalable and proactive tracking system.

Jeffrey Yorzyk, Senior Director of Sustainability for HelloFresh NA, expressed his enthusiasm about this transition: "Facilio helped us move from manual spreadsheet-based processes to a modern, centralized platform. Its ease of use and built-in regulatory compliance has made it our ideal choice for managing refrigeration workflows effectively. This real-time data allows our teams to preempt inspections, meet deadlines, and collaborate seamlessly across all our locations."
