Fairtrace alerts

This tool scans our reporting platform Fairtrace for critical compliance and reporting issues and sends automated notifications to certification analysts so they can act immediately. These alerts enable to monitor compliance based on almost real-time information and thus quickly clear up any discrepancies directly rather than being flagged during audits.
