Navigating regulatory complexity in supply chains
Colin Miller, Managing Director & Enterprise Architect at 11Foundry, explains: "A lot of companies are still dealing with regulatory risk management and supply chain risk using spreadsheets, documents, fragmented emails and individual people with lots of expertise in their minds, but very little documented processes. We turn those fragmented systems into processes that are consistent, efficient and scalable."
For businesses dealing with complex supply chain compliance, such as wood products, questions like HS classifications, species content and source traceability, reconstructing answers from raw documents is time-consuming and error-prone. 11Foundry set out to provide better governance, data relationability and instant access to actionable compliance insights.
Building a powerful SaaS: Command Center
Command Center was originally launched in 2019 to bridge the gap between deep subject-matter expertise and rapid software development. Built on Mendix, it uses a modular "building block approach" to risk management information, making complex risk data intuitive and structured.
Colin: "As practitioners first and engineers second, Mendix fit the way we thought about modeling applications and delivering processes. It provided the right balance of feature sets and scalable capabilities. Plus, it has the Marketplace, which is a great library of capabilities. I think that I have undervalued the Marketplace at different times, but it really is a great resource."
Through Command Center, 11Foundry’s clients can access instant single-click reports and dashboard insights, using them not only for compliance, but also as a powerful tool to demonstrate transparency directly to their sales and marketing contacts.
