Our Open Platform Approach
Find out more about the open platform approach and who bizpando already cooperates with.
bizpando is an open platform. It is based on CrossLoom, an enterprise service bus that provides countless interfaces and other services.
At bizpando, we encourage enterprises that wish to use our platform to offer their third-party services to contact us about this. The integration of external certificates on bizpando is already on the agenda and inquiries in this regard are of course welcome.
Unlike other supply chain solutions, bizpando has a holistic approach which leads to a platform where every company, from small to big can join with free base functions. In combination with the lightweight process of mutual invitation and self-audit, a global network of linked business arises where each chain member raises the benefit for everyone. This sharing economy is the fundament of bizpando and helps to reduce the costs and efforts for the whole audit process.
You have an industry-specific certification program, but don't want to build a global infrastructure and take care of software development and ongoing maintenance? Your core business is sustainability and not IT? We would be happy to host your specific certificate. Companies using your certification will have the same free features, subscriptions or transaction fees as usual on the platform, without any surcharges. Contact us now and let's improve the world of compliance together.
bizpando is open for other certificates

Consultants
A strong network is comparable to a foundation for a stable house and is essential for success.

Third Party Services
The CYRACO solution utilizes machine learning and augmented reality (AR) to offer the simplest method for conducting remote audits—fast and in real time. The inspection takes place using an augmented reality app or smart glasses, with the auditor able to direct the process from the comfort of their office. To do this, the auditor guides an employee of the company to be tested, even if they are thousands of kilometers away. And, because the inspection is carried out in real time, it is possible to intervene at any time to look more closely at specific details or have these displayed.

What they say about bizpando
For the University of Leipzig Medical Center, the topic of the LkSG has become a major focus over the past year. One positive realisation for me was that we need fewer resources for implementation than originally thought.
The bizpando platform and 3Txpert GmbH take a lot off our hands, which was also the key objective of the cooperation. This year, I'm excited to see how we can strengthen our collaboration with suppliers and take the next steps in the implementation process.

SME Heroes
Frischdienst Union has 180 employees and is based in Versmold (Gütersloh district). As a wholesaler for food, they supply kitchens for communal catering as well as bakeries and butchers, among others, with fresh and frozen products.
Why is Frischdienst Union as an SME already active on the bizpando platform?
Helge Enders, Head of Quality Assurance, says: "We firmly believe that, regardless of the size of a company, compliance with ethical standards and ensuring a sustainable supply chain are of the utmost importance. We realise that responsibility for our products starts at the very beginning of the value chain. The decisions we make when selecting our suppliers can have a direct impact on people's lives, be it in terms of working conditions, fair wages or environmental protection measures. We therefore see it as our duty to ensure that our supply chain is as transparent, fair and sustainable as possible. Even as a smaller company, we recognise the impact of our actions on society, the environment and the economy. Therefore, by partnering with bizpando, we want to ensure that our supply chain is free from exploitation, human rights violations and environmental damage. Only by working together can we make a positive change and promote a more ethical and sustainable economy."
