This article provides a clear overview of the latest updates released for the Authenticate platform.

1. Product quality recordings

A new feature has been introduced to allow Product Quality information to be recorded against supplier products.

• Users with access to this feature can manage recordings by navigating to a product’s supply chain, selecting a directly supplied raw material, and opening the Quality Records tab.
• This tab displays all existing recordings and allows new ones to be created.

When adding a new recording:

• Users can enter delivery details, upload files, and set an overall status.
• If more information is required, the recording can be assigned to another user, which will automatically create a task.

Future enhancements:

• A listings page for quick searching and adding recordings (Q2).
• Defined and scored quality metrics for recordings (Q3, to be confirmed).

Please contact your Authenticate client manager if you are interested in accessing this feature.
