What Is Transparency and Traceability?
QIMA offers a range of services that help businesses achieve both transparency and traceability in their supply chain.
Our transparency solutions provide you with a clear understanding of each stage in your supply chain. This includes knowing who your suppliers are, where materials come from, and the practices they use.
Traceability focuses on tracking and documenting the materials and products throughout the supply chain. This means recording where materials originate, how they are processed, and ensuring their ethical and sustainable production.
Benefits of QIMA's transparency and traceability solutions:
Identify and Mitigate Risks: Detect risks, such as unethical labor practices, environmental harm, or sourcing from high-risk suppliers, and take corrective actions.
Meet Regulatory Requirements: Ensure compliance with relevant regulations by documenting practices, verifying suppliers, and proving due diligence.
Address Demands for Accountability: Validate your claims about sustainability, fair labor, and product origins, and demonstrate your commitment to ethical practices to customers, investors, and stakeholders.
How Can QIMA Help?
Supply Chain Mapping: Gain visibility across all levels of your supply chain by creating a detailed map of every step and participant involved.
SAQs: Set up self-assessment questionnaires to empower suppliers to self-report. This helps you spot any potential problems and work together with suppliers on specific ways to improve.
PO Traceability Assessment: Develop a process for tracking and validating your entire manufacturing process, from raw material to finished products, using purchase order data to identify potential risks and ensure compliance with regulations and relevant standards.
Traceability Audits: Verify your manufacturing process from the ground up with our documentation services, test reports on raw materials, production planning, subcontractor evaluations, product identification, and traceability control procedures.
Material Tracing: Physically mark, trace, and authenticate products, from raw materials to finished products, throughout your supply chain with our innovative solutions developed by our trusted partner Haelixa.
Provenance Testing: Analyze the chemical, physical, and biological properties of materials and verify their DNA to prove their origin and authenticity, ensuring that your products are not produced using harmful or unethical practices.
