BRANDS AND RETAILERS

All configuration services are included in the subscription. The Team Plan is suitable for small/mid-size brands/retailers looking to automate a single test program (e.g., RSL/chemical, safety, physical, wastewater, etc.) without integrations to external systems (PLM, SAP, ZDHC, etc.). Brands/retailers managing multiple testing programs with a higher level of automation, analytics and supply chain collaboration may lean toward the Enterprise Plan. Brands/retailers wishing to leverage maximum automation, AI, and integrations should choose the Global Plan. Register for more details and pricing.

NON-ZDHC BRANDS

Any brand or retailer can use LINK to manage their chemical/RSL, water surveillance, product quality/performance, and product safety programs. While signatory brands can leverage ZDHC API integration, LINK allows suppliers to directly import their chemical inventories and wastewater/sludge testing data (comparable to InCheck® and ClearStream® reporting) without a connection to the Gateway. See the FAQs below for details.

A PLAN FOR EVERY SUPPLY CHAIN   Best Viewed in Landscape on Mobile Devices

LINK is a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, with subscription plans and features scaled for any size retailer, brand, and supply chain, from an in-house production facility to 1000s of factories, vendors, agents, licensees, and labs. Number of users has no impact on the annual fee — register/login for details.

SUPPLIERS AND LABORATORIES

The Partner Plan subscription enables a host of advanced automation and analytics features for suppliers and laboratories, including access to robust APIs for LIMS integration, which could fully automate the Test Request process and eliminate nearly all manual entry into LINK. An AI assistant helps onboard new users, answers questions about optimizing workflows and features, and provides guidance on industry-specific best practices in product compliance and integrity. Global Brand subscribers can nominate their supply chain partners to subscribe to the Partner Plan for the highest level of supplier and product performance, dashboarding/analytics and AI insights.
