Supplier's Guide: Achieving Sustainability Goals and Strengthening Customer Trust.

Consumers and retailers often place high demands on food manufacturers and producers. In addition to the high quality of ingredients, the concept of sustainability is also playing an increasingly important role.

Coffee, tea, and cocoa are now as much a part of everyday life as local foods. However, it is often forgotten that the raw materials have come a long way before they end up in the consumer's shopping cart. Unfortunately, the working conditions of the farmers and the environmental impact of the cultivation of raw materials often deviate from the standards to which consumers in the EU are accustomed.

To strengthen consumer confidence and at the same time achieve their own sustainability goals, many food producers rely on internationally recognized standards and certification systems such as Fairtrade or Rainforest Alliance.

Suppliers must provide accurate and timely quality data and certifications to ensure high quality and sustainability standards.

But how can companies ensure quick access to this vital information without time-consuming research? Relying on outdated certifications, which could lead to the use of inferior raw materials, would be even more disastrous.

The Supplier's Guide from SpecPage, a subsidiary of Revalize, can solve this problem: As a centralized platform, it speeds up and simplifies the access, verification, and management of supplier data in the food and beverage industry and prevents critical information from being overlooked. This platform is dynamically designed so that more than half of all initial email queries regarding raw materials that go unanswered are automatically tracked until a response is received.

The Supplier's Guide validates electronic signatures for legally binding specifications throughout the supply chain process and enables transparency and traceability of product specification documents.

From raw materials to product specifications and quality management, the Supplier's Guide enables authorized users to define parameters, documents, and data that then become part of the information chain contained in the database – for secure and protected data management.

In addition to security, the interactive supplier portal offers convenient and fast access to raw material and specification data – in real-time and on demand.

This process enables companies to ensure that the end products meet the highest quality standards while saving time and financial resources. Thus, sustainability goals are pursued automatically, positively impacting competitiveness in a rapidly changing market environment.
