Most manufacturers need to send product compliance data to their downstream customers and collect materials from upstream suppliers. So why are so many compliance programs designed as if supply chain data is a one-way street?

You’ll learn how to improve supply chain transparency and build stronger relationships to accelerate business growth. We’ll share strategies to align your compliance program with your customers’ goals so you can earn (and keep) their long-term trust.
