Case Study Example
Challenge
Constantly evolving regulatory lists, such as REACH SVHC, California Prop 65, EU RoHS, China RoHS, and Korea RoHS, present substantial challenges for discrete manufacturers. For one, monitoring these lists for changes is challenging and time-consuming. Additionally, translating the regulatory text into an IT-usable format for processing within a product compliance solution requires technical know-how. In short, managing regulatory compliance requires constant attention and thorough regulatory and IT implementation knowledge.
Our client - a discrete manufacturer - is using SAP Product and REACH Compliance to manage their product compliance obligations. To support their product compliance processes, they decided to look for a content provider that has regulatory data for discrete manufacturers and an efficient method to make that data usable within SAP Product and REACH Compliance out of the box.
Solution
Discrete manufacturers encounter significant challenges due to the lack of up-to-date regulatory list data in their product compliance software. This is where the partnership between opesus and Yordas Hive comes in.
The integration of the Yordas Hive platform with opesus Product Compliance Collaboration (PCC) helps businesses efficiently manage regulatory updates when using SAP Product and REACH Compliance.
Yordas' Hive tracks and updates regulatory lists, which can then be imported with a simple guided procedure into SAP Product and REACH Compliance via opesus' PCC. This supports discrete manufacturers to check their product structure again up-to-date regulatory data en masse, saving both time and effort while enabling full compliance with regulations.
What's Next
From a Yordas Group perspective, we can see a growing demand for our Hive data as organizations assess the safety and marketability of their products. With our partnership with opesus, we are able to offer data continuity by providing access to the Hive Chemical regulatory data within the client's SAP instance alongside the Yordas Consultancy service.
“Regulatory content tailored for discrete manufacturers is the missing piece for our customers. We are glad that we can close this gap by integrating Yordas’s Hive data directly into SAP. Clients no longer have to leave their SAP system to manage compliance!”
