Take control of supply chain compliance, from source to shelf
Simvia helps grocery retailers ensure product safety, sustainability and regulatory compliance across complex, multi-tier supply chains.
Join the largest grocery retail compliance network, built to ensure the highest-quality data, multi-layer transparency and audit-readiness at scale.
Trusted by leading retailers and corporate suppliers, connecting 200,000 suppliers and over 700 wholesalers & processors
Grocery retailers carry significant responsibility
with limited direct control
Beyond regulation, daily realities add further complexity to retail compliance
Products pass through multiple actors before reaching your shelves
Retailers remain legally and reputationally accountable for how products are produced
Manual data collection and fragmented tools are difficult to scale
Regulatory compliance is no longer static, it’s continuous, cross-domain and unavoidable
As regulations continue to evolve the scope, depth and proof of requirements keeps expanding.
Each regulation introduces specific requirements:
PPWR - packaging transparency and product content
CSDDD - human rights due diligence and risk mitigation
CSRD - structured ESG reporting across your value chain
EUDR - deforestation-free products, traceability to origin
Compliance, collaboration, and control on one connected network, built beyond Excel and siloed tools
The scalable, supplier-enabled compliance platform that lets retailers win back control
Compliance at retail scale works best when suppliers manage and share their supply chain data in a structured, trusted way.
1. Invite your suppliers onto a smart, free compliance platform for data collection at scale
2. Suppliers enter data once and reuse it across retailers and regulatory requirements, creating a shared, centralised data foundation.
3. One dashboard tracks, stores, maintains the structured, reliable datasets.
4. You get verified insights, faster compliance validation, and clear supply chain visibility.
