UL’s Supply Chain Network provides
suppliers and recipients with a
secure, efficient and powerful way to
organize, aggregate, utilize and share
supply chain data.
ALLOW SUPPLIERS TO REDUCE SIGNIFICANT MANUAL SUBMITTAL
EFFORTS TO PRODUCT QUESTIONNAIRES AND INCREASE ACCURACY
WHILE YOU BUILD DATA EQUITY.
INDUSTRY CHALLENGE
Countless requests for product information, ranging from
chemicals to finished goods, create an unreasonable demand
on supplier resources and result in inaccurate or incomplete
submissions to recipients, ultimately weakening the integrity and
value of supply chain data. The current situation can result in the
investment in countless man hours providing the same data in
different formats, loss of business and/or lack of compliance due
to the likelihood of manual errors.
