Cost Effective Online Supplier & Ingredient Approval

Minerva Online is an eTool to manage and assess supplier and ingredient compliance.

Minerva is specifically designed for manufacturers and food processors to take the hassle out of supplier and ingredient approval.

Most small and medium companies need to have a formal supplier approval system as part of their BRC or similar certification. The traditional approach by companies without the resource to audit their suppliers is to use paper questionnaires. That’s fine in principle, in practice it is cumbersome and time consuming for both manufacturer and supplier. The end result is often incomplete or missing information and frustration on both sides.

Minerva breaks the mould by introducing a simple, paperless system, completed and reviewed online. It mirrors the questionnaire based approach so it is familiar but because it’s online it fits better with other business practices and so has an improved success rate. Suppliers find it easier to complete and are more likely to do so. Unlike other online systems the approval remains in-house making for better quality decisions, closer to the business.
