Supply Chain
Solutions

Complex supply chain risks, United Nations sustainable development goals, and regulatory requirements make supply chain management mandatory for companies. Companies must ensure that they and their upstream supply chain partners prevent product fraud and meet general product specifications, EU directives, deforestation, green claims, and reporting requirements. 

The IFS Supply Chain Solutions family includes a range of process checks and tools that assist you in implementing the necessary processes for managing supply chain risks. Our solutions help you assess whether you can effectively identify and monitor risks in your supply chain. 

The IFS information technology (IT) tools can evaluate your data and share it in communications with individual supply chain partners. Validated processes and trusted data make supply chain management transparent and trustworthy, giving all supply chain partners the assurance that existing risks are well managed. 

The IFS Network of retailers, wholesalers, food services and food companies significantly contributes to harmonising the approach to supply chain management, risk analyses, and reporting, facilitating collaborative communication between industry and retail.
