A major German multinational corporation from the mechanical engineering industry trusts and relies on the iPoint Compliance Agent for efficient hazardous substance management. This software forms the backbone of a globally standardized IT process in place at the engineering company, whose job is to identify hazardous materials and manage material approvals – all for the purpose of supporting the company in manufacturing non-toxic products.
This mechanical engineering manufacturer has locations in more than 60 countries and is one of Europe's largest family-owned enterprises. Its portfolio encompasses plant, products, and industry services for the energy, oil & gas, transport and automotive industries.
The iPoint Compliance Agent accesses a central hazardous materials database in which all information of relevance to the materials is stored, including safety data sheets. Among other things, this software solution takes account of the stipulations laid down in the European Union's Chemicals Regulation, REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), and together with the SAM-M (Substances, Articles and Mixtures Management) module, facilitates efficient management of hazardous materials: It automatically monitors substances, mixtures, and articles, while complying with all statutory provisions and amendments. The Compliance Agent is integrated into the mechanical engineer's own in-house SAP-ERP system, where it optimally supports the compliance demands of the logistics processes.
