About the Client?

This bakery brand is headquartered in Austin, Texas, USA. It specializes in artisanal bread, cakes and coffee beverages, and operates 20 stores across four states in the southern United States. Positioned as “Fresh, Hand‑crafted and Heartfelt”, each store features an open back‑of‑house area where customers can watch bakers at work through glass windows.

Challenges Faced by the Client

The brand’s original management system had the following pain points:

Disorganized information recording: Each store adopted different back‑of‑house recording methods, ranging from notebooks to sticky notes, making it difficult for headquarters to enforce unified standards during site inspections.
Overwhelming sticky notes: Recipe adjustments, raw‑material arrival reminders, oven timing memos and other notes relied entirely on sticky notes. As notes piled up, key information was often buried under clutter.
Poor clean‑ability: The back‑of‑house environment features heavy cooking fumes and high humidity. Ordinary paper easily warps with moisture, and leftover adhesive tape is hard to remove, harming the brand’s food‑safety image.
Inflexible updates: Recipes and menus were frequently revised, but fixed information boards could not be modified on demand. Reprinting documents was time‑consuming and labor‑intensive.

Solutions Provided by Vwin

After receiving the client’s inquiry, Vwin thoroughly studied the bakery’s back‑of‑house workflows and working scenarios, and recommended a portfolio of Soft Magnetic Whiteboards.

Client Pain Points	Vwin’s Soft Magnetic Whiteboard Solutions
Inconsistent recording practices and lack of unified standards	Standard‑issue A3‑size soft magnetic whiteboards deployed in identical positions with uniform specifications at every store, providing clear benchmarks for headquarters inspections.
Excessive sticky notes and cluttered information	Whiteboards attach directly to refrigerator doors, oven side panels and stainless‑steel workstations. All information is consolidated for clear, at‑a‑glance visibility.
Heavy cooking fumes and easily‑damaged paper products	Water‑ and oil‑resistant board surfaces wipe clean dry; regular damp‑cloth cleaning delivers better hygiene and durability compared with paper.
Frequent recipe and menu updates	Dry‑erase writable surfaces allow direct recipe revisions with markers. No re‑printing is required for real‑time updates.

In terms of product specifications, Vwin supplied three sizes tailored for different store zones:

Main Refrigerator‑Door Information Board: A3 size (30×42 cm). Mounted on the front of cold‑storage refrigerator doors for logging dough fermentation times, baking progress for each product and oven temperature settings.
Workstation Formula Board: A4 size (21×30 cm). Attached to the side of stainless‑steel workstations to record bread formulas and raw‑material dosages for each day.
POS Special‑Offer Board: A5 size (15×21 cm). Affixed to metal cabinet surfaces beside cash registers to log daily special‑offer items and sell‑out alerts.

All soft magnetic whiteboards feature premium flexible magnetic backing and a matte writing surface. They can bend freely and deliver strong adhesion, sticking firmly even to curved refrigerator‑door panels or slightly raised metal surfaces. Writing is smooth and erases completely without ghosting after long‑term use.

In addition, Vwin provided one set of micro‑fiber erasers together with black, blue and red dry‑erase markers for each store, eliminating extra procurement needs.

Delivery & Services

Following sample confirmation, Vwin completed mass production within 12 working days.

Total quantity: 60 soft magnetic whiteboards (3 units per store × 20 stores: main refrigerator‑door boards, workstation formula boards and POS special‑offer boards).

Each board was custom‑printed with the brand logo and store number for consistent brand identity.

Pre‑printed table fields (date, product name, time, temperature, etc.) at the bottom of each board mean staff only fill in daily values without rewriting table headers.

Goods were shipped by sea to the Port of Houston on FOB terms, with the client responsible for domestic distribution within the United States.

Results

All 60 soft magnetic whiteboards were delivered and put into service across 20 stores within two weeks.

Comparative performance data:

Average back‑of‑house information‑management score rose from 68 to 93.
Recipe‑execution accuracy increased from 82 % to 97 %.
Tape residue on back‑of‑house walls and equipment was virtually eliminated, lifting hygiene scores by nearly 20 %.
