Product branding proposal

[Mike Dewhirst]

If different products for a company carry different brands it will be possible to report accordingly.

Current situation

For AICIS categorisation purposes it is necessary to know/predict annual chemical volumes.

These can only come from product volumes and product ingredient proportions.

Therefore, given accurate product volumes, Chemintro can provide accurate information management and reporting for chemical volumes.

Currently such reporting could be broken into the following views for a company:

• By annual product (SKU) volume
• By annual chemical volume
• By Division
• By AICIS category
• Whether declared annually to AICIS or not
• By end use
• By maximum concentration at end use
• By health hazard
• By environment hazard
• Many other data types

Brand proposal

If each product could carry a brand, the above could also be viewed ..

• By brand

Without any Brands created, there will be no change to the current display/reporting situation

Proposed Brand user interface

• In the Company screen click Add another Brand

• Enter the Brand name

• Optionally set the Default field to 'Yes'

• Optionally upload a brand image and enter image dimensions

• Repeat as required until all company Brands have been entered

Proposed Product user interface

• In the Product screen, optionally select a Brand, otherwise:

• If there are no Brands or no Brand with Default = 'Yes', the field will remain blank

• If there is a Brand with Default = 'Yes' that Brand will be automatically added

• If there is a brand associated image it will be automatically displayed

Chemintro redesign

Wherever a Company name would normally be displayed in the context of a Product, the Product's Brand name will be used instead.
