LONDON - Ethical trade service provider Sedex has launched an 'industry first' virtual assessment tool to monitor supply chain factories and plants during COVID-19 restrictions.
The company says the tool, called Sedex Virtual Assessment, enables its members to continue assessing their sites and suppliers to maintain supply chain visibility.
Sedex Virtual Assessment uses video technology to allow auditors to assess a site remotely. Following a planning stage, auditors conduct a virtual site tour via video alongside examination of a site’s documentation and management systems.
