Where is the product data? Is it up to date?
The creation and modification of products involves almost every department in the company: marketing, R&D, purchasing, quality, etc. Each department holds part of the product data: recipe, origin and characteristics of raw materials, composition and cyclability of packaging, cutting format, allergens, nutritional values, BAT, etc. The data characterising a product can be counted in the hundreds! How can they be structured?
The data to calculate the Nutri-score®, the carbon score or the Eco-score®? Who to ask? Where to find it? In an email? In which file? On the server? On the computer of absent or busy colleagues? Gathering all the data that characterises a product is sometimes a real obstacle course!
"Fortunately, the Eco-emballage declaration is only made once a year: what a time-consuming process!"

And with the new rules for calculating theeco-tax that came into force at the beginning of 2021, things are getting more complicated! Where can you find the composition of plastic packaging? On an archived data sheet? What is the percentage of recycled plastic?
How ensure the consistency and updating of these data?
What if all product information was stored and linked together in a structured and shared database? No more duplication, loss of information or confusion about versions! Gathered and unified in this "product repository", product data is updated and validated through collaborative processes. It is reliable and quickly accessible.
"When our clients come to us for an audit, we are able to provide all the information requested in record time, with just a few clicks. Our employees are relaxed and the clients are impressed!"
according to the Private Label Quality Director of a large group
Structuring and centralising product data in a secure repository designed for the food industry has been Keendoo's business for over 10 years. Let's talk about it!
