4

Packaging sourcing & data readiness

Determines who we collect data from and how the BOM gets built

Q8How is your packaging sourced?Required

This single answer determines the entire data collection workflow downstream

A

We know our packaging spec and buy directly

Our team specifies all packaging and places purchase orders with packaging suppliers.

Track A → packaging supplierVolume from brand ERP / PO data

B

We know our packaging spec — factories place the order

We specify and nominate the supplier; our factories raise the purchase order.

Track A → packaging supplierSection F → factory (BOM confirmation)Volume from brand ERP / PO data

C

Our factories decide and source the packaging

We provide a product brief. Factories choose and buy all packaging independently.

Section F → factory (BOM construction)Volume from factory-reported units (interim)

D

It varies by product line

Different categories work differently — specify below.

Add a row for each product line:

Q9Where does packaging specification data currently live?Required

In a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system

In an ERP or inventory management system

In specification documents held by our packaging or sustainability team

With our factories - they hold the specs, not us

Mostly in email chains and supplier conversations

Not structured anywhere

Q10Roughly how many distinct packaging formats across all products?Required

Estimates are fine — used to size the data collection programme

1 – 10

10 – 50

50 – 200
