3
Customer access to SDS
Solution
In 2021, Blaser Swisslube’s leadership recognized that the company needed a better way to author compliant SDSs for the global markets into which they sell. The solution they were using was from a small regional player that was not keeping pace with rapidly changing global regulations. Additionally, they were spending a huge amount of time manually re-authoring SDSs in different languages.
The Blaser team narrowed their search to three software providers, but ultimately chose Sphera’s Intelligent Authoring solution to reduce their risk of non-compliance and improve transparency for their customers.
Results
- Improved efficiency of authoring SDSs or multiple countries in multiple languages
- Automatically send SDSs to customer when an order is placed, or goods are shipped rather than having to manually email.
- Increased flexibility to make changes in forms and observe how those changes affect the output.
- Enhanced transparency with easy-to-view audit trails
“With Sphera’s system in place, it is much easier for us to author safety data sheets. We can implement changes and then tell the system to update and it will automatically update the SDS in the correct language and using the correct form.”
