Distributors
As a product journeys through the supply chain, and often around the country, maintaining a reliable link to current manufacturer information is challenging.
This can be further complicated by distributors sometimes providing a their own marking and identifiers, depending on the region that is stocking the product. This often means customers have no guarantee that a product’s information is the most relevant and up-to-date. BSI Identify helps solve this issue.
Through its digitally imbedded Universal Persistent Identification Number (UPIN), the service provides an ‘umbrella’ ID that can be linked to any other product identifiers and connect users to a persistence central resource that is updated whenever a product’s details change. This enables distributors to manage and maintain up-to-date, accurate information about product stock, including updates, recalls and photos.
Even if a product is no longer being manufactured, BSI Identify’s networked identifier capability ensures the product’s information will endure. This persistent traceability assures customers that their chosen product will contribute to building safety by being utilised and installed correctly.
BSI Identify also benefits distributors by:
- Simplifying database management through unique and singular product ID
- Speeding up invoice approval by improving verification of onsite deliveries
- Ensuring product clarity from manufacturer to contractor with a simple, unique digital identification code

Net zero through implementing breakthrough technologies and modern methods of construction
Innovation and the implementation of breakthrough technologies in the built environment can crucially contribute to lowering its carbon footprint. Innovation doesn't always mean using technologies that have not yet been invented, rather, it is often about transforming the practices that have been carried out for centuries by adopting new ways of thinking and employing breakthrough technologies from elsewhere to address current issues in the built environment.
Completing the Circle - How digitalization will unlock circular construction
The built environment is an ideal sector to exploit circular economy due to its important and substantial resource intensity. However, the circularity culture has historically been limited due to its unique characteristics and the complex nature of circular economy. Download our new whitepaper and learn more about digitalisation and its benefits for unlocking circular construction.
Can “key building information” unlock Building Safety?
Whilst many innovations are being suggested to realize building safety, there is no doubt that good quality product information will be key.
