Top 5 Characteristics of a High-Quality InCheck Solution Provider
If you’re not totally content with your current InCheck provider, here are some tips for what to look for when seeking a new InCheck provider.
1. Best InCheck Conformance
Make sure that the provider you choose delivers the highest product-to-certificate ratio. In addition, their platform should identify your commodities and uncertified products and allow you to preview your conformance score so you can make improvements before generating your ZDHC InCheck reports.
2. Ease of Use
The provider should link your account seamlessly to your ZDHC Gateway account for real-time InCheck reporting and scoring. Within the platform, you should also be able to create new inventories with ease by automating the upload of your Safety Data Sheets. And, of course, the platform should be easy to use, with training and support 24/7, 365 days a year for you and your team to manage inventory and remain compliant.
3. Better Value
The technology should give you the best value for the best results. Reducing the amount of time you have to spend to achieve the best results shouldn’t come through an over-priced InCheck provider. You should be able to access your wastewater laboratory data and upload or transfer ZDHC wastewater lab reports free of charge.
4. Visibility
You should be able to connect and share your data with all of your customers. That means you should feel confident that you can show greater transparency throughout your supply chain, including complying with the ZDHC MRSL. You’ll also want to establish KPIs on risk mitigation and chemical management and track progress against your internal and customers’ broader sustainability metrics.
5. Greater Compliance
You should be certain that you can quickly identify chemicals that could trigger recalls, RSL failure or MRSL Wastewater alerts, using intuitive interactive dashboards and scorecards. And in addition to InCheck, you should have the ability within the platform to check against other commonly used standards, such as Scored Chemistry or Inditex’s The LIST and customer-specific RSLs.
If your current solution provider fails to tackle all these areas comprehensively, consider switching to CleanChain. Why? Because CleanChain fulfils all of the above criteria and more. With the purchase of a CleanChain subscription, we’ll honor the remaining term of your existing ZDHC InCheck License with your current provider, free of charge.
