UL Solutions has launched a new vision for its extensive software portfolio that enables customers to achieve faster, smarter paths to safer and more sustainable performance.
First entering the software business more than 10 years ago, UL Solutions has built up its digital offerings through in-house development and 15 software acquisitions and has decades of established software customer relationships. Now, insight into rising stakeholder expectations shows that not only are product safety and compliance a must, but also that there is more focus on sustainability. These factors have driven UL Solutions to develop and deliver software offerings spanning three impact areas: product, people and planet.
Today the software portfolio is supported by over 1,500 mission-driven employees and used by more than 21,000 companies worldwide, building on UL Solutions’ strengths and longstanding digital expertise across product stewardship, compliance and risk management, sustainability, supply chain transparency and asset management.
Product, people, planet
With such a diverse portfolio, we have aligned our comprehensive software offerings for the products you develop, the people in your work force and the impact of your corporate footprint on the planet.
Product software supports compliance and risk management throughout the entire product life cycle, enabling customers to create and deliver safer and more sustainable products at the speed the market demands.
People software includes work force training, event monitoring and site safety management tools to empower employee health, safety and productivity.
Planet software entails environmental, social and governance (ESG) program management and renewable energy generation to help customers achieve social and sustainability goals.
The new impact areas of the software portfolio bring together industry-leading digital products, industry-specific advisory expertise and trusted data exchanges to help customers make informed decisions regarding materials, suppliers and manufacturers based on criteria such as safety, sustainability and performance.
As regulatory requirements around the world become more complex, UL Solutions software users are also equipped to navigate demanding regulatory environments as well as industry performance and safety standards to handle compliance and risk management requirements more efficiently. The company’s software offerings feature workflow excellence and science-rich decision support tools to boost productivity, meet commercialization objectives and improve speed to market.
Building a proven enterprise-wide software portfolio
Mission-driven UL Solutions has built itself on trust and stability, putting its customers and safety front and center. Over time, as digital transformation took hold, the company’s core services expanded into software to meet growing demands for compliance and sustainability — two areas where trust plays a crucial role when selecting vendors.
