While accredited auditing programmes offer you a range of options for improving the quality, consistency and safety of your sites and products, many are too generic to cover the key issues which face multi-site retail and hospitality businesses. ABS Group UK decades of experience working with some of the largest and most complex retailers, restaurant and hospitality chains, gives us the ability to develop specific programmes of work aimed at addressing the specific issues faced by our clients.

From sustainable and responsible sourcing, through to quality and customized assurance programmes, ABS Group UK can help your business achieve greater levels of insight and protection no matter which part of the supply chain you operate in.

The sustainability of the sector is fundamental, but it has to adapt to new consumption patterns, culminating in an increase in online purchases, further exacerbated by the health crisis and the global and international market situation. With needs for increasing digitisation while maintaining local service, safety is a challenge for the consumer, and a selling point for you.

YOUR CHALLENGES

Today, the consumer products industry is facing major change: disruptive technologies are drastically reducing production costs and increasing speed to market. Supply chains are increasingly global. And regulations are more and more stringent. As a consumer products manufacturer or retailer, you need to optimize costs and reduce production times, without sacrificing your final product quality or damaging your brand integrity. You also want to leverage business intelligence to improve your decision-making, and to stay ahead of technical and regulatory developments.

• The satisfaction and safety of your customers by implementing inspections, tests, certifications and accreditations of your products 
• Improving the service life of your equipment and developing your network of locations
• Optimising safety in your storage warehouses
• Compliance of health protocols
• The health and safety of your employees in their workplaces, by complying with the regulatory standards for public buildings (ERP)
• Leverage your in-house resources using distance learning courses
