Scaling a Growing Food Business Across Europe
GoodLife Foods B.V. is a European company invested in the food service and snack industry. Their business expands across the continent, including 15 factories and offices in the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Spain, and the Portugal, with over 2,000 current employees.
GoodLife Foods B.V. have acquired many local food brands with strong heritage throughout the years; some subsidiaries can be dated all the way back to the 1950s. The company has grown rapidly in recent years, but software costs have increased as well.

Inefficient Workflows and Rising Software Costs
GoodLife Foods uses PDF files in many areas and requires editing at multiple steps. In general, CRM can generates information automatically, but quality control, shipping, and authorization require employees to edit and sign PDF files. However, the PDF editor they were using was outrageously expensive, which prevented widespread adoption within the company.
At this time, many procedures had to be escalated to higher levels, resulting in wasted manpower and creating room for human error. With such a large scale of operations spread across multiple regions, these issues could easily manifest in daily activities.
Competitive Cost, Wider Deployment Scale
The IT department discovered one of the subsidiary had a significantly lower software costs due to their use of PDFelement. PDFelement offers highly competitive pricing. Significantly lower than other similar solutions, even among other competitors, it allowed the software to be installed in far greater numbers.
Effortless Use, Easy Adoption
With proper distribution, employees at GoodLife Foods B.V. finally received a suitable tool. The increased capabilities made every individual more productive. The transition was seamless, since PDFelement provides as many features as any peers—from basic editing and file management to more advance features and beyond.
Less trained employees could start working with PDFelement smoothly with minimal external help. Senior staffs would find familiarity with the rich assortment of advanced features.
A Simple Move to Boost Efficiency
By switching to PDFelement, GoodLife Foods B.V. turned a persistent operational bottleneck into a streamlined, cost-effective workflow. The company not only slashed software expenses but also empowered its employees with a tool that balances simplicity for newcomers and depth for trained users.
For a rapidly growing food service leader, that means less time wrestling with documents and more time focusing on urgent matters. In summary, GoodLife Foods found PDFelement to be the solution they had been looking for—where affordability and professional-grade features can coexist.
Compared to Adobe, almost all features are available for a significant lower price.
