The Compleat Food Group

Partnering with Authenticate for supply chain transparency

Authenticate is a leading supply chain transparency and risk management technology provider.

Since 2013, it’s been changing the way food businesses manage risk, increase visibility and gather actionable insights to protect people, the planet and brand reputation.

We use a range of Authenticate modules – such as supply chain mapping, certifications, audits and KPIs – to gather critical data on the risk, performance and compliance of our suppliers. To date, over 100 direct suppliers and 1,500 indirect suppliers are listed on the platform, with 800+ products now mapped beyond Tier 1 to provide visibility all the way back to farm level.

While we’ve always used the Authenticate platform to support supplier assurance and compliance needs, the scope of the partnership has stepped up over the past few years with an increased focus on animal welfare, worker welfare and expanding reporting capabilities. This enables us to rapidly respond to urgent challenges such as disease outbreaks and modern slavery reports in real-time, providing assurance to our customers that suppliers and products in our chains are not affected. We’re now working with Authenticate to introduce a new range of dashboards to provide real-time insight unique to our supply chains, suppliers and products.

Compleat and Authenticate were extremely proud to be shortlisted from a group of 100 entrants for The Grocer Gold Awards for Technology Initiative of the Year. We’re looking forward to continuing to work together and further developing the platform to meet industry demands and needs.
