In our exclusive live webinar "Solving material compliance in SMEs: an integral part of the supply chain strategy" with Johannes Groll, Managing Director and Head of Product Development at Tacto, we explain how you can efficiently integrate material compliance into your supply chain strategy.

In an increasingly regulated economy, adherence to material compliance regulations is crucial to a company's success. Many medium-sized companies are faced with the challenge of efficiently implementing the increasing material compliance requirements and at the same time making their supply chains transparent. Manual processes quickly reach their limits here. Integrating material compliance into the supply chain strategy can counteract these challenges and create new potential at the same time.

Material compliance involves ensuring that the materials used meet the strict requirements of governments, international organizations and consumer protection groups. The aim is to sustainably reduce the risk to people and the environment.

Failure to comply with material compliance regulations can lead to significant sales losses, fines and the loss of preferred supplier status. Companies are faced with challenges such as limited resources, high manual effort and the need for specific expertise
