Why Ornua Foods saw the potential of a forward-thinking system to manage contractor compliance…
As one of the leading suppliers of dairy products in the UK, Ornua Foods needed an innovative system that would move them away from the paper processes that were used across their site to manage multiple contractors.
Before Verature…
With Verature…
Ornua Foods were struggling with their paper-based process and how they could efficiently communicate with and manage contractors and visitors attending site.

When Ornua Foods were keen to explore a solution to remove their paper-based process, they looked to Verature to help identify their need to improve and standardise their contractor compliance process.
Ornua – The Home of Irish Dairy, is an agri-food commercial co-operative which markets and sells dairy products on behalf of its members, Ireland’s dairy processors and in turn the Irish dairy farmer. Ornua has been present in the UK for over 50 years and today is one of the leading suppliers of dairy products in the UK.
The business was very dependent on paper processes across their site regarding their contractor management and authorisation of work permits. Ornua Foods were keen to explore a solution to remove their paper-based process and change how they manage contractors and visitors attending site.
Through viewing Verature’s stages to contractor management video, it helped identify their need to improve and standardise their contractor compliance process, specifically around the requirements of;
- Contractor on-boarding,
- Health and safety questionnaires,
- Insurance expiries and renewals,
- Contractor control,
- Visitor and contractor inductions and assessments,
- Risk assessments,
- Method statements
- Tracking of permits to work.
The development at team at Verature have provided Ornua Foods with their own Verature Visitor and Contractor Management System, to enable the business to gain control and create a standard internal process to manage the onboarding and issuing of permits to work when contractors and visitors attend site. The flexibility to configure Verature to Ornua’s workflows has enabled the business to have a collaborative system that meets the requirements of multiple departments and buildings, as well as identify gaps where the system could further improve their compliance workflows and internal communications.
“After reading about the Verature system online and viewing it’s information video, I was very keen to explore the system and its capabilities further. We were very dependent on paper processes to manage our contractors on site; understanding the concept of compliance through the Verature infographic opened my eyes to how we could move in the right direction to remove ourselves from paper and use a forward-thinking system.”
