Numat

Discover how EcoOnline is helping Numat revolutionise the way their chemicals are handled across the globe. 

Numat’s solutions operate at the nanoscale to address the most pressing challenges facing industries today, and in the future. Their transformative Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) help to reduce the negative impact of chemical products and processes on human health and the environment.

Numat is responsible for ensuring their precision chemistries are incorporated as safely as possible by their clients. Customers must be given all the information they need regarding the proper handling, storage, and use of their formulations. Making Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) is a vital step in this process. Numat has been collaborating closely with EcoOnline for assistance with streamlining SDS creation to ensure fast, accurate completion in all the required languages and in line with all necessary regulations. With the help of EcoOnline, supported by Almego, SDSs have stopped being something to dread and have become an efficient component of their improved safety workflow.  

Numat operates in a highly regulated environment. With complex formulations being shipped across multiple territories, the need for correct SDSs in all required languages became a pressing challenge. 

When Adam Cox stepped into his role as Health, Safety & Environmental Lead, he inherited an SDS authoring process that was all done manually, taking up his valuable time and leaving plenty of room for human error. As a team of one, Adam simply didn’t have the bandwidth or the resources to keep up with the regulatory requirements and translations for each region. 

After producing just a handful of SDSs manually, it was clear that if Numat couldn’t get a better system in place ASAP, they may be forced to delay their international shipments. This would’ve caused a massive problem for their clients, their reputation, and their bottom line.

After reviewing several SDS authoring solutions, Adam selected EcoOnline’s SDS Authoring Software, powered by Almego for its ease of use, regulatory intelligence, and ability to automate translations into multiple languages. Unlike other tools that required outsourcing to costly databases, EcoOnline offered a much more accessible chemical safety solution with everything Numat needed in one frictionless package. With just a few onboarding sessions with the EcoOnline team, Adam was up and running!

Since they started using EcoOnline, Numat has reduced SDS creation time by 75%. Recently, Numat entered into an agreement with Health Canada, who required that a SDS was translated into Canadian French. This was done quickly, and the version was accepted without any issues. Before EcoOnline, this task would’ve taken Adam days, if not weeks!

Working with EcoOnline has been more than just a time-saver for Numat. It’s enabled them to scale more nimbly internationally while upholding the highest safety and compliance standards.

EcoOnline’s SDS Authoring solution, powered by Almego, simplifies the creation of high-quality SDSs that are compliant in over 80 countries. Users can generate SDSs in under two minutes, complete with automatic translations in up to 39 languages.

• Built-in change management and automated updates help ensure ongoing compliance without the time-consuming (and headache-inducing) manual effort.
• SDS Smart Extraction combines 20+ years of expertise with state-of-the-art AI to accurately pull data from PDF versions of SDSs with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
• Built-in migration tools make for a super simple set up.
• Expert guidance via chat, phone, and email means you’ll be up and running in no time and always have the support you need.
