What benefits has
SafetyChain created for
your company?

15. Key Benefits
✔Vendor Management. Better, more consistent
process for managing vendors. Vendors now work harder.

management of suppliers. Know immediately about
documentation - which suppliers are compliant and which
are not.
✔Audit Readiness. 24/7/365. Auditors “dig less now”
because they have tools that demonstrate safety and
compliance (satisfied with first sample). Before Safetychain,
no confidence in the information. Now with Safetychain,
“the fear goes away.”
