A new CommonShare update that simplifies communication, strengthens compliance, and transforms how facilities manage their product data.

Managing product information across global supply chains has long been fragmented — split between emails, spreadsheets, and inconsistent documentation. This lack of structure creates communication gaps, slows compliance workflows, and makes it difficult for brands and facilities to collaborate effectively. To address these challenges, CommonShare introduces a unified Notification System and a new way to categorize BOM nodes with customizable characteristics, providing a single, organized space where companies can manage all communication and product data with clarity and confidence.

A Centralized Notification System for Clear Communication

The new Notification System Management brings every alert, request, and update into one place. Instead of jumping between multiple channels, companies can now:

  • View all notifications from a unified dashboard

  • Reduce delays caused by missed messages

  • Improve coordination across internal teams and supply chain partners

  • Respond quickly to brand or auditor inquiries

This streamlined communication ensures that nothing is overlooked and that workflows progress smoothly.

A Smarter Structure for BOM Nodes

Bills of Materials often become complex and inconsistent, especially when multiple stakeholders are involved. CommonShare’s new categorization system provides:

  • Clear classification of each BOM node

  • A more intuitive way to organize product components

  • Improved traceability throughout the product lifecycle

  • Better alignment with regulatory or brand requirements

This structured approach helps companies maintain high-quality data and simplifies collaboration across the supply chain.

Custom Characteristics Tailored to Each Component

A powerful new feature allows companies to create custom characteristics for any BOM node.

These characteristics can include:

  • Compliance requirements

  • Material properties

  • Safety and chemical restrictions

  • Sustainability attributes

  • Brand-specific documentation fields

By tailoring these characteristics to each category, companies can:

  • Ensure accurate product information

  • Meet diverse regulatory and buyer requirements

  • Maintain consistent data formats

  • Strengthen cross-company collaboration

This flexibility makes the system adaptable to evolving regulations and business needs.

Enhancing Compliance and Supply Chain Collaboration

Standardized data across BOMs and notifications benefits both facilities and brands. The new system improves:

  • Accuracy of compliance submissions

  • Consistency across different product types

  • Transparency between suppliers and buyers

  • Overall supply chain reliability

With structured datasets and centralized communication, brands can better assess supplier performance, while facilities gain a predictable and professional framework to manage product information.

Conclusion

CommonShare’s latest update marks an important step toward modernizing supply chain communication and product data management. By centralizing notifications, organizing BOM nodes more intelligently, and offering customizable characteristics, the platform empowers companies to operate with greater clarity, accuracy, and collaboration. This unified system strengthens compliance, supports responsible production, and lays the foundation for a more connected and transparent supply chain future.
