{"product_id":"ifs-broker-management-system","title":"IFS Broker Management System","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe IFS Broker Standard is a certification framework designed specifically for agents, brokers, traders and importers who buy and sell food, packaging materials or household and personal care products without physically manufacturing or storing them on their own premises. It applies to businesses that act as an intermediary in the supply chain, taking commercial ownership or arranging the trade of goods while outsourcing production, storage and transport to third parties, and it addresses the specific risks that arise when a company influences product safety and quality without direct physical handling. The Standard is structured around senior management responsibility, a quality and product safety management system, robust supplier and outsourced-activity management, product and process specification control, traceability, and monitoring of the third parties involved in manufacturing, storing and transporting the goods being traded. It places strong emphasis on ensuring that suppliers and service providers meet appropriate safety and quality requirements, on managing risks such as fraud and product integrity, and on maintaining effective communication and contractual control across the outsourced chain. As part of the IFS family of standards, IFS Broker is intended to complement IFS Food, IFS Logistics and other schemes, providing continuity of assurance where trading activities sit between certified manufacturers and customers. Certification is performed by approved certification bodies through a third-party audit using the IFS scoring approach, with certificates valid for a defined period and maintained through renewal audits. The main benefits include demonstrable control over safety and quality across an outsourced supply chain, increased transparency and confidence for customers who rely on brokered products, reduced duplication of customer audits, improved supplier oversight and traceability, and a recognised, sector-specific certification that establishes brokers and traders as reliable, accountable partners within the food and consumer-goods supply chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 57 ready-to-use, fully editable documents (manual, procedures, forms, records, checklists, guidance and training material).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLicense:\u003c\/strong\u003e single-organization license; delivered electronically as a ZIP archive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apex Global Solutions AGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56517051646292,"sku":"AGS-01-007","price":1290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/4996\/4372\/files\/IFS-Broker-Management-System.png?v=1784574577","url":"https:\/\/agskits.com\/products\/ifs-broker-management-system","provider":"apex global solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
