Intertek’s Import Safety Intelligence Program is the Key to Smart Sourcing for Global Buyers, Suppliers and Factories
15 Feb 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, announces the debut of Import Safety Intelligence (ISI), a global sourcing platform that brings together buyers, suppliers and factories to provide transparency into the global supply chain. ISI provides structured and verified information related to product quality, safety, sustainability, security and social compliance of factories. This new platform minimizes risks and knowledge gaps by enabling visibility throughout the international supply chain, which is vital for success in today’s global business environment.
Intertek’s ISI platform enables factories to demonstrate their competency, capability and compliance to global buyers through a trusted community, in turn reducing costs, improving efficiency and upgrading credentials to win business. ISI also increases the top line of suppliers by helping them capture new business opportunities through the platform as some of the world’s largest buyers rely upon the ISI program to find the right supplier match.
In addition, ISI provides a solution to the global sourcing community by providing verified data about factories and suppliers to buyers presented in the form of structured profiles, allowing buyers to filter and search selected attributes using the parameters they value. Buyers can make better-informed choices for the best business match with ease, because the intelligence they need is readily available through the transparent platform, saving heavy costs and time to evaluate each potential business partner. The structured living profiles provide complete and up-to-date information of all participating factories and suppliers by incorporating their own input as well as third-party database information. ISI is a dynamic platform for them to demonstrate reliability as a partner by allowing certain fundamental information update in real-time. Given the trustworthiness and completeness of the ISI database, buyers can manage risks more effectively and increase the success potential of each business relationship. Businesses can move forward with greater confidence and fewer disruptions with the smart sourcing solution provided by ISI.
