Sage ERP X3 helps customers respond to
European REACH regulation through Verteego alliance
Sage has reinforced its ability to address its customers'
environmental compliance needs through a global alliance with
software vendor Verteego. Sage ERP X3 is now connected to
Verteego's online REACH traceability platform, a solution targeted
at retailers and manufacturers to help ensure traceability of
chemicals down their supply chain and avoid supply chain
disruptions. The new connected service demonstrates how hybrid
models using on-premise software and the Cloud, can maximize
customer benefits. With the development of this new connector, Sage
has shown it can react quickly to the evolving and demanding
environmental requirements of European mid-market companies.
Thanks to this unique combination of software, retailers and
manufacturers can now organize and ensure the traceability of
chemicals down their supply chain, collect REACH data from their
suppliers, and provide their customers with reliable REACH reports.
The solution maximizes Sage ERP X3's capabilities, while Verteego
ensures compliance with REACH traceability obligations.
Benoit Gruber, VP Product
Marketing & Alliances for Sage ERP X3 commented, "Sage has
chosen to partner Verteego in the development of specialized
connected services to Sage ERP X3 to help its customers meet these
new challenges. REACH compliance is the first stage of this process
with the next being energy management. Our manufacturing and retail
customers need a simple, yet powerful chemical supply chain
solution to comply with REACH both effectively and efficiently. We
chose Verteego because of their expertise and our respective
strengths in manufacturing and retail."
Jeremy Fain, Co-founder and CEO
at Verteego added, "We believe Sage ERP X3 customers who are
required to collate information down the supply chain will be
amazed at the ease and power of the user experience enabled by this
new connected service, due to the level of automation it provides.
In addition to compliance, mid-sized companies can now reassure
their stakeholders about the innocuousness of their products. This
is key for their employees as well as consumers, as it supports
engagement in responsible purchasing and environmental policy."
