Consumers and government regulatory bodies bring considerable pressure to bear on the forest products industry. Irrespective of the nature of the challenge — safety and sanitation standards, production processes, supply chain — risk control is vital. Our raison d’être at Cognibox is to alleviate the burden of administrative tasks respecting the health, safety and compliance of contractors and contractor employees commissioned to carry out work on client production sites (proof of insurance, commitment documents, training attestations and certificate expiry dates, certification requirements,etc.).

Cognibox is an effective contractor risk management solution tailored to the needs of the forest products industry. Cognibox makes allowance for your company’s organizational complexity, challenges current and future, as well as the multiplicity and diversity of outsourcing-related administrative and regulatory requirements.

About the client

This leading player in the wood processing and pulp and paper sector operates plants in locations across Canada and the United States.

Nature of challenge

The company lacked clear corporate guidelines as well as a centralized structure for managing outsourcing-related risks. Given the scattered nature of supplier-specific information, the company found it increasingly difficult to apply the same standards to all stakeholders in all locations.

How Cognibox helped

In less than a year, over 2500 contractors, including hundreds of transport companies and general contractors, were qualified based on company-specific criteria, thereby simultaneously reducing outsourcing-related risks.


Senior Manager, Health and Safety

“We are not in the occupational health and safety business. However, for reasons of corporate sustainability, we have elected to manage health and safety based on the highest applicable standards by involving employees and contractors. Cognibox makes it possible for us to enhance overall efficiency and achieve monumental gains in risk management.”
