FFC System Features
The Fair Factories Clearinghouse application is a secure web-based program, which is accessible through the Internet. The FFC database is an easy way for companies to manage factory compliance programs, including recording audit findings, compliance trends, and efforts to remediate instances of non-compliance. The application will provide a significant benefit to organizations that currently do not have an automated tool to track their social compliance efforts.
The systems architecture is based on a Microsoft.Net platform with Microsoft SQL-Server 2000 as the back-end database, and it is securely managed by Vericenter, a professional hosting facility.

- Manage factory information
