Technical Compliance – API’s I-TCF solution

Brands around the globe have an obligation to ensure their product’s compliance with its market destination standards and regulations. But guaranteeing the accuracy and validity of all documents proving your product’s conformity is an arduous task. Many factors weigh in the complex job of ensuring compliance:

• Stricter regulation and increased picking in stores
• Need for improved traceability and records
• Large number of product references requiring time and technical staff…
