Intertek’s iSupplier Intelligence Program Gives Global Buyers a Clear View into their Supply Chains
23 Aug 2011
Oak Brook, IL and Hong Kong – Intertek, a leading provider of quality and safety services to a wide range of industries around the world, facilitates smart sourcing with iSupplier Intelligence (ISI), an online supplier community that provides global buyers of consumer goods with access to all suppliers’ inspection and auditing certificates, regardless of which laboratory conducted the relevant verification. This level of supply chain transparency is imperative when doing business on a global level in order to monitor and ensure product quality and safety, security and social compliance of factory partners all over the world.
ISI provides enhanced insight into the identities, policies and processes of supplier partners, enabling buyers to improve business performance and reduce risk while preserving their brand reputations and increasing the potential for successful supplier relationships. Using ISI, importers can get a single, clear view of their supplier partners, resulting in a complete and up-to-date understanding of their business investments.
“No single importer has the time or resources to fully investigate each potential supplier, leaving knowledge gaps that perpetuate incomplete insight into import safety risk,” said William Quilindo, President of Intertek’s iSupplier Intelligence platform. “This lack of information burdens importers with increased costs and complex processes when selecting suppliers to efficiently deliver safe, quality products.”
Intertek’s ISI platform facilitates insight into smart sourcing, product and process quality assurance and control, effective risk management, factory profile verification and cost and time efficiencies. Currently more than 35,000 factories participate in the ISI online community.
