One approved claim, five versions of it in market.

Retailer RFPs, vendor portals and sustainability surveys all ask for the same claims, certifications and product data. Tribble answers them from what regulatory, quality and sustainability already approved, so every retailer gets the same answer.

One question, start to finish.

What happens to a single question when a retailer claims request lands.

The question

Provide substantiation for the "dermatologist tested" claim, including study design and date.

Example: retailer claims substantiation request, owned by regulatory affairs

  1. 01

    It comes in

    The request arrives through the retailer’s vendor portal or as a spreadsheet. Tribble reads every question and picks out the ones it has seen before.

  2. 02

    Tribble drafts it

    It matches the question to your approved claim and its evidence, and drafts the reply.

    Sourceclaims substantiation file. Owner: regulatory affairs.
  3. 03

    Only what’s new gets reviewed

    The claim was updated for a new formula, so this answer goes to regulatory with the change marked.

  4. 04

    It goes back in their format

    The answers go back to the retailer in the format they asked for, ready to submit.

@Tribble can we say the new bottle is made from 100% recycled plastic?

Tribble

Only for the 500 ml size. The approved claim covers that size, and the other sizes use the approved partial-recycled wording.

FAQ

Common questions.

Can Tribble keep product claims consistent across retailers?

Yes. Every answer comes from the claim regulatory approved, with its evidence attached, so each retailer gets the same wording.

We have hundreds of SKUs. Does that work?

Yes. Answers can be tied to a brand, a product line or a single SKU, and each one shows where it came from.

What happens when a formula or pack changes?

Update the approved claim once. New responses use it, and answers that relied on the old version are flagged for review.

Does Tribble work with retailer vendor portals?

Tribble drafts the answers from approved content and returns them in the format the retailer asks for, ready to submit.

Is Tribble secure?

Tribble is SOC 2 Type II compliant, and every source keeps its original permissions, so people only see what they’re allowed to see.
