Inventory Management
The foundation of both the 3E Online - MSDS service and a customer’s materials information management system is a clear and accurate chemical inventory. This inventory also assists the customer as they seek to improve compliance through identification of associated regulations plus training, handling, storage, use and disposal. Customers simply provide a list of products and a list of locations. Once an inventory has been submitted to 3E, our Manufacturer Alliance team contacts the supplier to obtain the appropriate MSDS for each country and the required languages. From there, the team begins to build a customer catalog specific to the company's needs. Alternatively, customers can begin by using the inventory-building tool, which features easy, step-by-step instructions for building an inventory of MSDSs specific to multiple individual locations. Customers can update, add, or delete products from their catalog, as well as run reports. Materials inventories are available real-time in both summary and detail format. Custom fields can also be added at any time and are visible to all employees.
Updates and Revisions
3E’s Data Center Specialists maintain the 3E database through a regular review of all MSDSs in line with any new or modified regulations, to ensure that the most current sheet is available to customers. And, based on 3E’s extensive manufacturer relationships, many MSDSs are often supplied directly to 3E’s library when an update is issued or a new product is released. When a new MSDS is obtained, it is scanned to produce a PDF image.
Indexation
In addition to the image, key fields are captured to enable easy searches by product names, product numbers, manufacturer names and more. For a more details list of the fields indexed, download our brochure.
