How Brandt Consolidated improved SDS authoring speed and simplified global compliance with Enhesa
Cloud-based SDS authoring that freed Brandt Consolidated’s IT department, slashed creation times, and gave its regulatory team the tools to stay compliant across international markets.
What SDS Author delivered
Faster SDS authoring
SDSs that previously took 30–60 minutes are now created in as little as 5 minutes.
Cloud-based efficiency
Eliminated IT-managed updates and enabled remote access from anywhere.
Guided authoring, fewer errors
Built-in checks and a wizard tool flag issues in real time — so SDSs are right first time
The challenge
Danielle Knox, Regulatory Affairs Manager at Brandt Consolidated, was responsible for authoring all of Brandt’s SDSs — covering not only US products but also those distributed across Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. The company’s previous system was hosted on internal servers, creating problems for both the regulatory and IT teams.
“I actually liked the old platform itself, but it wasn’t cloud-based. That created issues for our IT department — it took forever to get updates, and the contact and support weren’t great.”
Before Enhesa
Customer support had diminished significantly over time. Software updates required IT intervention, and communication with the provider lagged — until Brandt decided to cancel.
“When we were trying to cancel our contract, then the customer support suddenly improved. But by then, my boss had enough — he told me to go find something better.”
Why Brandt chose Enhesa
A cloud-based platform built for modern compliance
Brandt selected SDS Author for its cloud-based functionality, ease of use, and standout customer support. The intuitive design allowed Danielle to quickly create SDSs with built-in guidance, automated checks, and a wizard feature that walks users through the process.
“The software helps guide you — if something’s wrong, it tells you where to go back and fix it. It’s very user-friendly, especially with the wizard tool.”
Support that never disappeared
Danielle explored several vendors before choosing Enhesa, including one already used by Brandt’s Brazil division. What set Enhesa apart was consistent, proactive engagement. Access to training, documentation, and regulatory expertise meant Brandt could navigate transport sections and regulatory variations with confidence.
“Other vendors showed me a demo and disappeared. My contact from Enhesa kept checking in and making sure I had everything I needed. That stood out.”
The results
Speed and efficiency
From the start, SDS Author delivered immediate impact. SDSs that previously took 30–60 minutes can now be completed in as little as five minutes — and with built-in templates streamlining repeated private-label formats, the benefits extend to Brandt’s clients across North America and beyond.
“With the previous vendor’s solution, just running hazard classification rules could take 10 to 15 minutes. With SDS Author, I’m building the SDS as I go — no waiting around. The time savings are dramatic.”
Cloud-based freedom
The move to SDS Author eliminated IT-managed updates entirely, freeing Brandt’s team to focus on compliance rather than infrastructure — with remote access available from anywhere.
Simplified private-label SDS generation
Confident navigation of transport sections and regulatory variations
Multilingual authoring across US, Mexico, and Caribbean markets
I would absolutely recommend Enhesa. The support is great. The service is great. It’s a major improvement — and I know we’re in good hands as regulations evolve.
