How much hazardous material did we buy, from whom, and where did it go?
Pearstop answers it from the invoices and purchase data the company already has.

The unknown products
Why it's hard today
The answer sits at invoice line level. The name of a general wholesaler does not say that it sells solvents, aerosols and adhesives. One supplier delivers across many categories, so the hazardous lines hide inside everything else.
What changes with Pearstop
- See hazardous products line by line, including those bought from general wholesalers.
- Get a list per supplier and site, ready to check against safety data sheets.
- Keep the list current as new invoices arrive.
What this looks like in client data
Hazardous products often sit inside general wholesaler invoices. Reading every line finds them.
Frequently asked questions
How do you list all the hazardous substances a company buys?
Read every invoice line and identify which products are hazardous, then group them by supplier and site. Pearstop does this line by line, including lines from general wholesalers where a solvent sits next to cable ties.
How do you find chemicals in procurement data?
Classify the data at item level. Supplier names say little about what a supplier sells, so the chemicals only show once each line is identified. Pearstop identifies every line and flags the hazardous ones.
How do you check safety data sheets against purchases?
Start from a complete list of hazardous products bought, per supplier and site, then compare it with the safety data sheets on file. Pearstop delivers that list, so the products without a sheet stand out.
Why are hazardous substances missing from supplier-level spend reports?
A supplier-level report assigns all spend to the supplier's main category. A wholesaler that mainly supplies fixings shows as fixings, and the solvents inside it disappear. Pearstop reports at line level, so they appear.
Can hazardous products from a general wholesaler be identified?
Yes. Pearstop reads and classifies every invoice line, so a single can of solvent on a large wholesaler invoice is identified like any other item.
