UMAGE

Challenge

UMAGE faced fragmented supplier and product data spread across various systems, making it difficult to manage supplier relationships, maintain traceability, and comply with evolving EU regulations (EUDR, CSRD, REACH). Without a centralized data repository, the company struggled to:

• • Aggregate and validate raw material and component information.
• • Demonstrate compliance with deforestation and chemical-use regulations.
• • Efficiently onboard and monitor over 100 active suppliers.

Solution

By partnering with prduct.com, UMAGE implemented a unified data-management platform that allowed them to:

• • Centralize supplier, product, and packaging data in a single system.
• • Automate risk assessments against EUDR and REACH requirements.
• • Streamline the onboarding process for suppliers so that upstream material origins and chemical profiles are captured at source.
• • Maintain a living database that supports full supply-chain traceability from raw material to finished furniture or lighting piece.

Result

• • Faster Processes: The time required to gather and verify supplier information has been reduced by over 50%, thanks to automated data collection and validation workflows.
• • Regulatory Compliance: UMAGE now meets all EUDR and REACH obligations consistently; they can generate audit-ready compliance reports on demand.
• • Stronger Brand Reputation: By demonstrating full traceability and sustainable sourcing, UMAGE has reinforced its position as a trusted, eco-conscious partner in the Scandinavian design market.
• • Supplier Engagement: With over 100 suppliers integrated into prduct.com, UMAGE maintains real-time visibility into material provenance and chemical usage, lowering the risk of non-compliance.

Next steps

• 1. Broaden Data Coverage: Expand the platform’s use to include detailed component-level specifications and full packaging-material profiles.
• 2. Continuous Improvement: Implement periodic data-quality reviews and automated alerts for any changes in relevant EU regulations.
• 3. Sustainability Benchmarking: Leverage prduct.com analytics to benchmark supplier performance on criteria such as recycled-material content and carbon intensity.
• 4. Internal Training: Roll out training sessions to ensure all internal stakeholders (product development, procurement, quality) can access and act on the data.
