From front line associates to managers and senior administrators, retail recipients of WERCSmart derived product data obtain results in a variety of ways that range from mobile applications to analytical dashboards.
The WERCSmart data results from each product registration assists with the following common retail business challenges:
Proper shipment
Classification for ground, air, and water
Generate data for Bill of Lading/box label
Restricted products
Known item or ingredient restrictions alert by geography-specific regulations
Distribution center slotting guidance
Fire code classification and separation
Food items stored away from chemicals
Waste management
Minimize state/provincial and federal waste costs
Tie into claims process/reverse logistics
Scanning shelf label to indicate proper storage container
Monitor waste trends for packaging or reformulation considerations
Regulatory compliance
Compliant GHS safety data sheets
Minimize risk
Sustainable products selection for buyers
Examine the chemicals in products from various lists including PBTs, CMRs, etc.
Does a retailer see your full product formulation?
No, it’s protected. As a trusted third-party, UL encrypts its client’s Confidential Business Information (CBI). Retailers, or any other recipient of regulatory and sustainability data from UL, see only the derived results and not your product’s full formulation.
Beyond regulatory compliance
As more retailers continue to develop their own chemical and product stewardship policies, your permission to share data results extend beyond the parameters of regulatory compliance.
