It will be a lot easier if we could just log on and retrieve only the COA s we need Quality Assurance Manager Pick n Pay Bakery Division. September 7th 2011 Shoprite s Technical and Food Safety department and most definitely the Buyers would be interested in accessing documents of all suppliers in a vault. Having access to all Supplier s vaults would make our life easier and would save space and time for us to ask, collect and file all relevant documents from our suppliers. I have so many outstanding documents to collect from suppliers, if only they would send it or then have a Vault system where I can see it. We have systems and filing in place but we desperately need a central point where we can find supplier documents like COA s, Halaal certificates, organic cert., food safety certificates, audit reports, import export permits, health certificates, product specifications, labels, micro reports, customer complaints, corrective action reports etc. I really hope that suppliers will start using Vault before it is necessary for us to implement or enforce it. Group Technical Services Manager Shoprite Checkers Centurion. February 22nd 2012 Clover production is in the process of converting our manual COA system to the COA Vault system from Limelight Software Solutions. We are looking forward to the results and simplifying of the system that is currently time consuming. Because we are aware of the benefits of an on line electronic COA system, we would welcome it if our suppliers can go the same route.. Group Technical Manager Clover SA (Roodepoort Head Office). February 16th 2012 We at Protea Chemicals would like to request that you consider going digital with your COA s and MSDS s. We have gone this route with a company called Limelight Software who offer a system that allows for all COA s to be generated digitally and automatically stored in an online vault where clients can access them along with MSDS s and other routine documents. We see fantastic value in being able to access all the COA s and MSDS s for the products we purchase from you online as well. This will save us and you our supplier having to keep sending paper copies or emailing these documents which is difficult to manage and keep track of for both parties. The system we have adopted is working well for us and we strongly encourage you to investigate its introduction to your processes as well. Group SHEQ Manager Protea Chemicals (Wadeville).
