Customer Portals: Delivering Compliance and Convenience at Scale

Automate the flow of product data to every customer—exactly how they want it.

Read the case
CHALLENGE

Food manufacturers and suppliers are under constant pressure from retail customers to deliver precise, up-to-date product documentation. From allergen tables and certificates to ingredient lists and technical sheets—every buyer has their own format, portal, and process. Failing to comply with these requirements delays payments or blocks shipments entirely.

  • Every retailer has a different portal, requiring manual data re-entry.
  • No consistent standard for product data submission (PDF, Excel, API, etc.).
  • Resource-heavy and error-prone process, especially for allergen and nutrition data.
  • High onboarding costs for new customers.
  • Inaccurate or outdated uploads lead to payment holds or order rejections.

In short: Massive waste of time for customer service and quality teams, increased headcount to manage routine admin, and constant risk of data mismatches that affect compliance and cash flow.
