About

The BHiveCN

Features
Read full description

The BHive app uses OCR technology to allow manufacturing facilities to take smartphone photos of chemical product labels, and within seconds identify which products meet the sustainability requirements of many brands/retailers. Upon upload, all scanned chemicals are cross-referenced with The BHive’s database—currently backed by over 65,000 chemical products—and the system automatically generates a full and accurate chemical inventory. Facilities can then see which chemicals they should keep using and which they should phase out—all at a glance. With The BHive, technical expertise isn't required to gather data on the factory side, or to interpret it on the brand side. Brands and retailers already using The BHive are most excited about their new ability to see chemical data from various supply chain partners all collected in one place, and the way the system lets them instantly and visually assess compliance levels. TERMS AND CONDITIONS User Confirmations: By using The BHive, I certify that I understand and agree with the User Requirements, Data Liability Statement, and Privacy Policy. The BHive User Requirements I understand that The BHive must only be used on the factory premises, and must not be used on any outside premises or for any products that are not used by the facility holding this license.

The BHive Privacy Policy I understand that GoBlu might use the data gathered via The BHive anonymously and in an aggregated format for statistical purpose.
