What Seems Difficult Made Easy

Many businesses don't have a complete picture of the compliance information relating to the materials and products they purchase. Information may be spread across emails, spreadsheets, shared drives and individual teams, while some information may never have been formally collected.

For organisations starting from this position, the prospect of introducing a centralised supplier compliance system can seem like a significant undertaking. The perceived effort involved in gathering information, organising existing records and engaging suppliers can become a reason to put the project off.

Solandra is designed so you don't need to have everything organised before you begin.

With 20 years' experience in reducing supply chain risk, we understand the information businesses need to effectively manage supplier compliance — from food contact packaging and ingredients through to every material category.

Regardless of the state of your current data, all you need to get started with Solandra is a list of your vendors and what they supply.

From there, the Solandra platform and our experienced team establish the structure and begin building your complete supplier compliance profile.

• Your supplier structure is created

  Vendors, their related products and required compliance records are loaded into your Solandra account.

• Existing documentation is incorporated

  Any supplier documentation you already have is attached to the relevant compliance records, so existing work and information isn't lost.

• You immediately see what's complete and what's missing

  Each record clearly displays its status based on the documentation held — valid, expired or missing.

• Solandra takes over the collection process

  Solandra automatically contacts vendors to request missing or expired documentation and follows up as required. Suppliers don't even need to log in — they can simply respond with their documentation.

Instead of spending months getting ready for a supplier compliance system, you use Solandra to get ready.

Once Solandra is up and running, the system continuously monitors your supplier compliance records. As documents approach expiry, suppliers are automatically contacted and, as updated documentation is submitted, records and attachments are updated accordingly.

But we know automation alone isn't enough.

Suppliers vary enormously. Some respond immediately, others require additional follow-up, contacts change and, occasionally, documentation simply isn't available when it's requested.

That's why Solandra combines automation with experienced human support. Our systems identify outstanding and problem areas, initiate further reminders and, where required, our team intervenes directly to help resolve them.

The result is exceptionally high levels of ongoing compliance. Our customers achieve effectively 100% supplier document compliance, with outstanding expired documents generally limited to situations where suppliers themselves are waiting for renewed documentation from the relevant issuing authority.

Solandra doesn't just give you a system for managing compliance. We help you keep it compliant.
