Data hub

• Suppliers: A central list of your suppliers with contact person, email, supplied materials and the status of requested data.
• Data pool: All values suppliers have already delivered — searchable and filterable by material, value, supplier.
• Data requests: Automated forms you send to suppliers — they fill them in without a Reguly account.

• When creating a new product and you are missing packaging data — link the supplier and send a data request.
• Before every DOC creation to make sure every required value is present.
• Before every packaging-register report to have plausible quantity/material assignments.
• In audits to demonstrate that you provably requested data from suppliers — even if they have not (yet) answered.

1. 1

   Open the data hub

   In the dashboard under 'PPWR → Data hub'. You see the tabs Suppliers, Data pool and Data requests.

2. 2

   Create a new supplier

   Click 'Add supplier' and enter company name, contact person, email and supplied materials. Reguly uses this data to phrase requests appropriately later.

3. 3

   Link with products

   In the product master-data view, pick the supplier. Reguly then knows which packaging parts come from which supplier.

1. 1

   Start the request

   Click 'New data request' and pick the supplier. Reguly automatically suggests which values are missing.

2. 2

   Pick values

   Tick the fields you need answers for — recyclate share, substances, material, certificates. You can add custom fields.

3. 3

   Personalise

   Reguly auto-fills a friendly message. You can edit it, set a deadline and decide whether the supplier may upload files (e.g. PDF certificates).

4. 4

   Send

   Reguly sends the supplier an email with a unique link. The supplier opens the form in the browser — no login, no Reguly account needed.

5. 5

   Review answers

   When the supplier submits, the request appears under 'Data requests' as 'answer received'. You review the values and accept them into your master data with one click — or reject and ask for follow-up.

In the data pool you see all collected values as a table: which supplier reported which recyclate share for which material — last updated when? You can filter by material (e.g. 'Show me all PET recyclate shares younger than 12 months') and spot anomalies (e.g. a supplier consistently reporting below the industry average).

Pool data is mirrored into your product master data automatically as soon as you accept an answer. You do not need to sync anything manually.
