The combination of iPoint Compliance (iPCA for short) automation and imds professional’s operational IMDS expertise enables faster processes and greater assurance in meeting regulatory requirements.
Depending on where you are in your journey with iPoint Compliance (iPCA), we’ll provide you with tailored support:
Are you already using iPCA but aren't sure if everything is set up efficiently and correctly?
We'll analyze your settings and processes and optimize them: Is the software configured correctly? Are the checks being used properly? Do the workflows within your company align with your needs?
Do you have iPCA and the necessary licenses, but your own team can’t fully handle day-to-day operations? We’ll take care of the operational work in your environment—whether as targeted support during peak periods, as a substitute, or as a long-term managed service.
Is iPCA set up but not yet being used efficiently in your day-to-day operations? Our training courses are tailored to your system environment, your modules, and the real-world tasks your team handles. Instead of general theory, we provide the specific knowledge you need for your daily work.
Have you decided to use iPoint Compliance?
If so, we’ll guide you through the preparation and implementation phases and help you set up your data, processes, and workflows correctly from the start. We can also take over operations on a temporary or permanent basis.
Powerful compliance software can only deliver the desired benefits if processes and responsibilities are defined and the data is properly maintained.
This is exactly where we can help you: from handling open compliance cases to supplier management and bill of materials import, all the way to the full operation of your iPCA environment.
The choice is yours: fully or partially outsource your work with iPCA. This is how we help your employees not only use iPCA but also leverage it as a reliable tool for product compliance, material data, and supplier processes.
Using specific real-world scenarios, we’ll show you how to efficiently and reliably address various challenges.
Why this happens: The CSI module automatically checks incoming data against legal, industry-specific, and company-specific criteria. If reliable information is missing, cases are created. Without a structured processing and escalation process, the queue grows: Suppliers provide incomplete responses, cases remain in “Pending” status, and there is a lack of capacity and escalation levels.
How we solve this: We don’t simply take over the queue; instead, we first identify the root causes: missing supplier data, unclear responsibilities, technical inquiries, incorrect material information, and technical process issues. This leads to a concrete action plan; depending on your needs, we can handle individual work packages or the entire operational process.
Result: Higher data quality right from the start · fewer inquiries to suppliers · faster approval of material data · reduced workload for internal teams · consistent data for downstream processes
Why this happens: SPM (Supplier Process Management) systematically integrates suppliers into the collection, completion, and tracking of compliance-related data. In practice, this often fails due to outdated contact information, unsystematic invitations, poorly worded requests, unclear internal responsibilities, and a lack of deadlines.
How we solve this: Suppliers don’t understand the request, don’t know their login credentials, or aren’t sure which documents are expected. We personally guide them through the process. This allows questions to be clarified more quickly, transforming a technical platform into a communication and data collection process that is actually used.
Result: Active supplier participation · more complete and up-to-date data · less follow-up effort · transparent communication
Why this happens: The bill of materials (BoM) serves as the foundation for product-related material and compliance analyses. For iPCA to process the product structure correctly, the structure, keys, references, and mappings must meet the system requirements. Common issues include incorrect parent-child structures, missing material references, incorrect mappings, duplicate keys, and import logs containing hundreds of errors.
How we solve this: We don’t check individual error messages; instead, we examine the import file as a complete data structure. Often, a fundamental structural or mapping error causes numerous subsequent errors. We identify the key sources of error and use them to develop a cleaned-up, import-ready database.
Result: Reduced manual verification effort · automated MDB creation via BoM import · faster processing of large data volumes · consistent MDB quality across all suppliers · more time for value-added compliance tasks
What companies need is an integrated approach that combines software, operational implementation, and knowledge transfer—and that proves its worth in day-to-day business. This is exactly where the partnership between iPoint and imds professional comes in.
iPoint Compliance (iPCA) automates data-intensive compliance work. It checks substance and material data against applicable regulations and remains efficient even in large, global supply chains.
Software alone cannot solve compliance challenges. If needed, we handle the operational implementation—from analysis to day-to-day operations—and are available to your team even during vacation periods.
Many users operate iPoint without the underlying IMDS knowledge. Our training courses bridge this gap and combine software operation with the technical expertise needed to ensure accurate material data and, consequently, reliable results.
Suitable for new iPCA users, companies without centralized IMDS management, and teams that are unsure about the requirements.
Suitable for anyone who wants to meet quality requirements using structured inspection procedures and process incoming data efficiently.
Suitable for anyone who wants to identify critical or restricted substances in the IMDS database and derive specific actions from that information.
Suitable for anyone who wants to streamline user management, optimally assign roles and permissions, and support governance and compliance.

“Together, we combine powerful software with operational expertise to create greater efficiency and reliability in managing material compliance requirements.”
Peter Schmidt, CEO, IPOINT
„Today, companies need both: robust systems and practical implementation experience. Our partnership with IPOINT brings these two elements together and helps make IMDS and material compliance processes more efficient.“
Magdalena Georgi, Managing Director, imds professional
We stand out from pure-play software providers, pure consulting firms, and in-house/Excel solutions. Our approach combines technology, operational implementation, and knowledge transfer. This results in sustainable compliance—not just passing audits in the short term.
The implementation doesn’t start with the software, but with your products, data sources, and processes. We tailor iPCA to your system environment and workflows and guide you step by step until the system is up and running.
Your data remains in your iPCA environment; we work within your system configuration and according to the agreed-upon role assignments.
Yes. iPoint Compliance operates globally and in multiple languages and is scalable for global supply chains. We support the rollout across locations and supplier networks.
Suppliers are integrated into the SPM in a structured manner, with clear requests and personalized support to ensure that data collection actually works. Communication generally takes place in German and English.
The cost depends on your licensed modules, the condition of your data, and the desired scope of services (partial or full outsourcing). During the free needs assessment, we’ll work with you to determine which tasks we can take on in the short term and which processes we can stabilize on a long-term basis.
We don’t just take on the backlog; we first identify the root causes: missing supplier data, unclear responsibilities, incorrect material information, or technical issues. This leads to a concrete action plan; depending on your needs, we can handle individual work packages or the entire operational process.
Suppliers often don’t understand the request, don’t know their login credentials, or aren’t sure which documents are expected. We personally guide them through the process, ensuring that the platform becomes a data collection process that is actually used.
In most cases, a fundamental structural or mapping error causes numerous subsequent errors, such as incorrect parent-child structures, missing material references, or duplicate keys. We review the import file as a complete data structure, identify the key sources of error, and use this information to create a cleaned-up, import-ready database.
