Learn how Mizkan Euro used Evotix to drive trust, participation and action by transforming safety reporting into a transparent, mobile‑first system.
Everybody on site can have access to the system. They don’t all need access to the main system, but being able to raise things and get tasks done really works for us as a business.

At a Glance
- Challenge
Mizkan Euro operates food manufacturing sites where production lines run at pace and safety risks can emerge quickly. Employees work around machinery, liquids, chemicals and high‑throughput processes, making timely hazard identification and clear communication essential to protecting people and maintaining product quality. In this environment, safety depends on frontline visibility, trust and the ability for issues to be raised and addressed before they escalate.
Before Evotix, safety reporting at Mizkan Euro was difficult for many employees to access. Reporting relied on paper cards or systems limited to shift managers, meaning most issues had to be passed on second‑hand, or were never recorded at all. This led to low reporting volumes, limited feedback and gaps in visibility, while compliance activities required significant manual effort.
- Solution
Evotix gives every employee at Mizkan Euro direct access to safety reporting through a simple, mobile‑first platform. With QR codes, mobile access and shared visibility, frontline teams can now raise near misses, hazards and observations themselves and see the action taken in response. Evotix brings incidents, audits, training and documentation into one system, reducing reliance on spreadsheets and manual follow‑up. By making reporting accessible and transparent, Mizkan Euro strengthened trust, improved participation and created a clearer foundation for data‑driven safety decisions.

We’ve actually had to raise our targets because so many more people are reporting. They can see that something’s raised, dealt with and fed back. That transparency makes the biggest difference.
