For immediate release Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA and Montreal, Quebec, Canada – March 1, 2010 – Actio Corporation and Atrion International today announced the availability of REACHtracker™ 2.0, a SaaS solution for automating and managing supply chain communication and substance information collection processes for compliance under Europe’s REACH legislation. REACHtracker™ 2.0 provides a holistic substance view that integrates the relationships between finished products, raw materials and individual substances. The solution also provides enhanced communications features for upstream and downstream supply chain communications and customized visual reporting tools that alert organizations if any of their finished goods, raw materials, or substances are not in compliance so that they can take action to mitigate their risk.New features include:
“REACH has driven raw material transparency requirements to an unprecedented level of market and regulatory attention,” said Russell McCann, President and CEO of Actio. “Material transparency regarding product and packaging composition, downstream use, and processes must exist in order for companies to manage change, reduce brand risk, and keep adequate business intelligence about a supply chain. Chemical-specific, multi-dimensional regulations and product labeling requirements demand substance-level disclosure from both upstream and downstream. REACHtracker™ provides this level of supply chain transparency.” “Because REACH is a substance-based legislation, organizations must now be aware of the REACH registration status of all substances present in raw materials, including substances that are manufactured further upstream in the supply chain,” said Frank Arcadi, VP Product Strategy & Direction from Atrion “In addition, they also must be aware of who has purchased their products so that information and safety precautions regarding hazardous materials may be passed on. This is why automating supply chain communication is so important.” REACHtracker™ 2.0 is available today.
