Case Study: Kroger achieves over 90% product compliance with UL Solutions WERCSmart

Kroger boosts product compliance to over 90% with UL

Kroger, a leading United States-based grocer, faced the challenge of managing product compliance across its vast inventory. This required collecting and validating complex product attribute data from suppliers to determine regulatory requirements for safe handling, transportation, and disposal. To mitigate risks to staff and consumer safety and avoid regulatory fines, Kroger turned to UL Solutions and implemented their WERCSmart supply chain compliance software.

UL Solutions' WERCSmart provided a centralized platform for mandatory product registration, enabling Kroger to validate compliance data before items reached the shelf. The solution was integrated with item scan technology, giving frontline staff instant access to safe handling instructions. This implementation increased Kroger's in-scope product compliance rates to over 90%. Furthermore, UL Solutions' PurView platform allowed Kroger to leverage this data to evaluate chemical safety and sustainability attributes for its product assortments.
