The need to control and specify the way that goods are shipped and presented has led to the creation of huge and complex compliance manuals. We've all seen - and attempted to use - the weighty folders produced by most retailers to ensure compliance.

Making compliance work effectively is always a challenge; just locating the right section of the manual can be an error-prone process. Updates can be sent out, but how many of them are inserted correctly into the compliance folder? What happens as it all comes apart with use?

One of the opportunities that Reactor creates is the ability to build supplier compliance instructions into the order process itself. An order for tickets for a garment can automatically call up the instructions for labelling and packaging. We can even set up the facility to order hangers, trims, shrouds and other accessories directly from the Reactor system.

By bringing intelligent interactivity to compliance, Reactor removes complexity and capacity for error from the supply chain. Retailers are able to maintain immediate control of changing compliance guidelines, roll-out to suppliers is instant, and production and distribution costs for compliance manuals are reduced to a fraction of what they were.
