Material Connect

Simplify the Collection of Material Data

Material Connect completely eliminates the tedious and error-prone, back-and-forth process of using template files and email to collect material data. Customers define the required data fields that vendors must complete prior to submitting new or updated materials.  Security is ensured as customers must approve the receipt of all data before it’s accepted.

Material Connect reduces the cost of capturing material information, increases the completeness and accuracy of data received while accelerating the speed with which materials are identified, developed and commercialized. It’s the easiest way to keep the data in your material libraries up to date and accurate.

Lab Connect

Capture Lab Test Data At Its Source

Lab Connect extends the power of Texbase Testing to your entire supply chain by creating an integrated web of lab-testing data sources that collects test results and related documentation in real-time.

Approved supplier labs, product manufacturers, or independent third-party labs can generate lab test requests, initiate testing based on Spec Connect requirements and collect the data all in one central location making it simple to search and analyze test data from material concept through finished product certification.

Lab Connect includes Texbase LTDI (Lab Test Data Importer) which gives data providers the ability to use Excel to quickly enter lot-to-lot production data.

Compliance Connect

Collect CoC’s and Supporting Data From Suppliers.

Compliance Connect allows companies to collect data, documents and supplier or lab-generated Certificates of Compliance to aid in the creation, collection and dissemination of critical finished-product test results and related certifications. The data and documentation collected by Compliance Connect flows into Texbase and is optionally displayed on customer-branded CoC portals providing a way for retail customers or trade personnel to verify the testing that was performed on the products they are purchasing or distributing.

CPSIA Guardian

CPSIA Guardian is a tool to manage product specifications, testing plans and test results to satisfy CPSIA regulatory requirements.
