Groceries Supply Code of Practice (GSCoP) Order

Conformance Trading

Actionable Intelligence (AI) is an intuitive layer of technology which is helping UK retailers and suppliers meet the demands of the 2009 Groceries Supply Code of Practice (GSCOP). This new initiative demands Retailers to self regulate their trading relationships in accordance with the rules laid down within the Code.

Transparency in Business Community Management

AI has been designed for Retailers with large trading partner communities where ROI on Enterprise investments can only be realised if there is conformance in the physical supply of products and where streamlined B2B e-commerce initiatives exist.

Managing the dynamics of a trading partner community can be a complex, costly and resource intensive. AI gives companies the ability to monitor and manage supplier performance and their own internal conformance. The breadth of functionality inherent in AI streamlines mundane processes, automates critical tasks and eliminates large dwell times between critical issues normally left to manual intervention.

From Onboarding suppliers through to daily management, monitoring, score-carding and real-time automated remediation tasks 24×7, this solution is designed to streamline existing practices whilst supporting the GSCOP initiative.
