Supplier Admin Dashboard - MDs & SDoCs for Maritime Suppliers made easy

Introduction 

The Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) is a critical component for ensuring safety and environmental protection on board vessels. However, managing IHM compliance can be a complex and time-consuming process for maritime suppliers. The Verifavia Supplier Admin Dashboard is a software solution designed to simplify this process for both suppliers and their sub-suppliers.

2. Enhanced Regulatory Compliance: Verifavia's expertise ensures all issued MDs and SDoCs comply with the latest international maritime environmental regulations, including those outlined by the IMO and the EU Regulation. 
3. Improved Operational Efficiency: The dashboard streamlines data submission, evaluation, and document generation, demonstrably reducing processing time and administrative burdens as documented in a case study by Verifavia (reference available upon request). 
4. Complete Transparency: The platform promotes traceability within the supply chain by requiring documentation from downstream suppliers, resulting in a comprehensive material outline onboard vessels, as mandated by MEPC.379(80) [1].
