In an effort to streamline the use of its platform, Azzule is about to release an upgrade to the Premium Supply Chain Program (PSCP) and Supply Chain Program (SCP) sites. The new Multi-select option allows users to manage their audits more easily and, in particular, to transfer multiple audits without having to change screens.
A modification will be made to the platform’s “All Audits” screen that allows users to filter their audits and select one or multiple to either export to excel or transfer. The new multi-select option will toggle on the action bar which allows you to send one, multiple or all audits to your customer(s) with just the click of the transfer icon without having to exit and go to the “Send Data” section of your Supply Chain site.
Want to learn more about all the things you can do on your Azzule Supply Chain site? Contact us at support@azzule.com or by phone at 805.354.7127 to schedule a demo with a member of our customer service team.

Correcting Misconceptions about GFSI Certification Programs
|
|
Misinformation can be frustrating. Every so often, a misconception that you thought had long since been dispelled rears its head again, and you find yourself explaining something that you thought everyone understood with clarity, when it is clear that some people did not.
Such is the case with the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). GFSI was founded to facilitate the Global trade of food that meets an agreed upon standard for food safety. GFSI brought an end to having to conduct a specific food safety audit for product that was destined for a particular place in the world and a different audit for a different place. It provided welcome relief for both food suppliers, as well as buyers.
Suppliers could supply product to multiple buyers in multiple countries while conducting only one GFSI benchmarked audit. At the same time, buyers were able to seek out suppliers of specific commodities they desired who had completed GFSI Benchmarked audits. GFSI was seemingly a win-win for all concerned.

Yet, a short time ago emails floated around cyberspace stating that Indonesia was accepting only one Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) standard for agricultural imports. Upon further investigation, it was revealed that neither GFSI nor the owner of that particular certification program was aware of this rumor. In all likelihood, someone working for some certification body made an incorrect assumption about the viability of the other GFSI benchmarked certification programs.
Having begun the process to develop a certification program for GFSI benchmarking nearly 15 years ago, we at PrimusGFS were understandably frustrated, but quickly realized that misinformation is spread often, and sometimes innocently enough. When that happens, the solution is education. Sometimes people just don’t understand, and we have to increase their awareness and comprehension of GFSI as a concept, and PrimusGFS as one of the possible answers. Read on »
