Omnify Software, a leading provider of web-based Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software for discrete manufacturers, announces that it has received the 2015 Green Supply Chain Award for the third consecutive year. The awards honor companies making green or sustainability a core part of their supply chain strategy, and also recognize providers of supply chain solutions and services assisting their customers in achieving measurable sustainability goals.
Omnify Software was selected as an enabling technology for their manufacturing customer, MRV Communications. MRV is a global supplier of packet and optical solutions that power the world’s largest networks. Their products combine innovative hardware with intelligent software to make networks smarter, faster and more efficient. The company needed a solution to support efficient processes for REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) compliance. As a central repository for all of their product information, the company chose to use Omnify Empower PLM as their main library for their green/sustainability practices.
“Managing REACH information in Omnify Empower allows us to store supplier certifications at the individual manufacturer part level which helps us to quickly and easily generate a package that identifies all of the REACH documents for every approved vendor,” stated Cyndi Kuka, Document Control Manager for MRV Communications. “We are very happy to be awarded for our sustainability processes and know we made the right choice to leverage Omnify Software for this.”
“We are honored to be recognized by Supply & Demand Chain Executive for this award three years in a row,” stated Chuck Cimalore, CTO for Omnify Software. “Because Omnify Empower provides an optimal environment to track, manage and aggregate compliance data, our customers have been using it to support their compliance initiatives since the first directives went into place and continue to do so as new regulations come about and existing guidelines evolve.”
