The Challenge
Drom, a leading fragrance manufacturer, was facing challenges in ensuring product compliance of regulations and industry standards across 43 countries. The company was dealing with disparate regulatory and safety data management and documentation workflows. There was a need for data standardization across global operations and increasing customer transparency into regulatory and safety information. The company also needed to continue meeting the requirements of the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) Compliance Program, which requires “eco-labeling” and bans or restricts the use of 174 chemical substances in fragrance products.
About The Customer
Drom is a leading fragrance manufacturer with a history of over 100 years. The company has production sites spanning multiple continents and employs over 500 people worldwide. Drom's annual revenue is $133 million. The company prioritizes compliance with regulations and standards and provides customers with documentation and labeling to verify that its products are safe. Drom operates in 43 countries, making it a truly global business.
