Partner Direct Input
Collect Product Compliance Data
The Challenge
The regulation landscape is becoming increasingly more complex driven by new regulations and increasing public awareness. Compliance engineers are required to collect product compliance information from their supply chain. Often, information is exchanged via email, involving multiple users at customers and suppliers. This can be difficult to keep track of, potentially leading to a process that is not auditable. Furthermore, there may not be an efficient way to feed collected data into your product compliance management system.
