Case Study: Detlev Louis achieves regulatory compliance and supply chain transparency with Assent

Detlev Louis - Customer Case Study

Detlev Louis, an 85‑year‑old European motorcycle apparel and accessories retailer operating across several countries, needed deeper supply‑chain visibility to meet evolving regulatory and sustainability requirements (REACH, POPs, SCDDA, CSRD) as it expands. To modernize compliance workflows and avoid disruption, Detlev Louis selected Assent and its supply chain sustainability management platform, drawing on Assent’s EU regulatory expertise and local presence.

Assent implemented its REACH, POPs, and ESG solutions—including the Assent Supplier Portal, automated supplier communications, supplier training/LMS, and Managed Services—over an approximately five‑month implementation. The program delivered measurable results: ~61% supplier response and 72% parts response for the REACH SVHC solution, and ~61% supplier response and 70% parts response for REACH POPs, improving compliance, preserving market access, and positioning Detlev Louis to meet upcoming SCDDA and CSRD requirements.
