Redshift Capabilities
Systematically gather a broad range of supplier sustainability and product safety data:
- Build supply chain websites: Platforms that gather information, clearly explain definitions, and allow suppliers to attach supporting certifications for verification.
- Track social & environmental metrics: Gather and harmonize complex supplier metrics such as production, transportation, packaging, social impacts, governance, and use and disposal practices.
- Customize supplier surveys: Include any compliance guidelines, prohibited materials, corporate policies, audit results, or other criteria.
- Merge, store & share data: Share with existing supplier management, sourcing and materials management systems, or merge and store it in centralized location for access and analysis by all authorized parties.
- Set supplier mandates: Automatically require suppliers to disclose formula changes in new and existing products to certify they do not contain prohibited materials.
- Set vendor mandates: Automatically require vendors to periodically recertify that necessary certifications are up to date.
Analyze to select the safest products and the most sustainable suppliers:
- Set supplier mandates: Determine what criteria suppliers are required to report and benchmark supplier sustainability performance by company, plant, product, and material.
- Source original materials: Trace material content down to the supplier.
- Benchmark scores: Allow suppliers to compare their scorecards to supplier best practices and track and trend individual and aggregate supplier sustainability score.
- Organize expenditures: Show by type of supplier, size, ownership, and location to demonstrate diversity.
- Customize parameters: Account for uncertainty in the quality of the metric by customizing parameters and weights of data that drive the analysis model.
- Adjust Scores: Dynamically modify report scoring based on evolving organization priorities.
