Supplier origin and custody gaps were caught before the retailer review

Customer context

What had to change

Context

The team had already collected most supplier documents, but confidence varied by supplier. Some origin attestations were near expiration, a few custody records were incomplete, and retailer RSL alignment had to be checked before the next packet request.

Before Valent

Before Valent, supplier evidence review happened in bursts. The team found gaps when a retailer, brand, or internal stakeholder asked for the packet, which turned routine follow-up into deadline risk.

Outcome

The team saw weak supplier evidence before the retailer packet was requested. Instead of discovering custody gaps during the review, they resolved them while there was still time to act.

What Valent did

The work became a controlled evidence workflow

Valent mapped requirements to source evidence, queued the right reviews, and kept the final release record intact.

How Valent helped

Scored supplier packets against evidence requirements and freshness.
Flagged origin and chain-of-custody records that needed review.
Drafted supplier outreach with the missing context attached.
Kept every supplier chase blocked until a reviewer approved the external action.
Preserved the source document and decision trail for the final packet.

Workflow in place

Supplier Detail showed the status of every requirement for each supplier.
Monitoring watched expirations, missing COAs, and restricted-substance drift.
Human review turned AI-drafted chases into controlled team actions.
The evidence trail stayed connected to the future retailer bundle.
