v1.3
Bundle ready
Operator signature required before release.
Controlled
External submissions and supplier chases stop for approval.
Implementation
What implementation looks like
Valent gets deployed around the audit packet your team already has to defend: requirements first, evidence second, controls before external action.
01Requirement map
Map the audit packet
Valent starts by translating customer, certification, regulatory, and internal requirements into a reviewable evidence map.
02Supplier packets
Connect supplier evidence
SDS, COA, origin, allergen, INCI, CAS, and custody records are organized around the requirements they support.
03Review queue
Set approval gates
External supplier chases, evidence overrides, and bundle releases stop for the right human decision.
04Trust Grid
Monitor drift
Expiring documents, missing signatures, and RSL changes become visible before they block a launch or renewal.
05Audit bundle
Release the first bundle
The team exports a customer-ready packet with the evidence trail, signatures, version history, and hash intact.
Start with the packet your team already owes the retailer.
Valent turns that packet into the rollout plan: the requirements to map, the supplier evidence to connect, the reviewers to assign, and the controls to keep release safe.

Before and after Valent
“Bundle assembly runs three weeks; customers give us two.”
Now Valent keeps the evidence current, so the bundle is ready when the audit window opens.
“Our Tuesday process is where the week dies.”
Now the team starts with a Trust Grid that shows what is ready, what is drifting, and what needs review.
“Last cycle we nearly lost a brand pitch because the compliance evidence wasn't ready.”
Now Valent makes sure the supplier evidence is organized before it can slow a launch or renewal.
