AFC Consulting Group and Simvia are combining their expertise in compliance and transparency in supply chains. 

Companies along the entire food value chain are facing increasing market demands. Stakeholder expect full transparency, compliance must be guaranteed at all times, and the safeguarding of product quality and sustainability risks is becoming increasingly challenging.

'Many companies still lack the necessary transparency and traceability in their supply chains to efficiently meet regulatory requirements. 'That is exactly where our partnership comes in' explains Nico Broersen, CEO von Simvia. 'With our platform, we create the basis for structured data sourcing and reliable data quality — and thus for robust compliance evidence.'

Dr Michael Lendle, a member of the AFC Consulting Group board, adds:

'In the industry, enormous amounts of data are collected along the supply chain, but they are not often systematically used for strategic decision-making. Together, we take these data to a new level, creating measurable added value and developing 'added value' strategies for companies. This makes professional supply chain management a central tool for managing risks, creating value and achieving long-term competitiveness.'

The partnership focuses particularly on companies with complex procurement structures and global supply chains. You will benefit from:

• improved data quality and efficient data sourcing along the supply chain,

• increased transparency regarding the origin, quality and sustainability of raw materials,

• robust compliance structures for dealing with authorities, customers and certifiers,

• systematic risk prevention for quality assurance and ESG performance.

The joint solution from AFC and Simvia turns modern supply chain management into an effective management tool for industrial companies: Risks are identified early, measures can be implemented effectively, and the value chain is sustainably secured from raw materials to finished products.
