PID Integration on The BHive

Guideline

Powered by GoBlu
 Introduction
What is the PID number?
It is a chemical product's identification number from ZDHC Gateway.

What will change on The BHive?

From November 26th, 2024, onwards, you will be able to add your PID to your BHive CIL and use it to match your chemicals.

Why are we doing this?

From January 1st, 2025, onwards, ZDHC InCheck subscribers can match their BHive-CIL chemicals with ZDHC Gateway only through PID.
By adding PIDs to your BHive CIL, you are already preparing for the changes in January 2025.

What are the benefits of matching Gateway chemicals by PID for InCheck?
• Minimise Errors: Reduce the risk of using incorrect product information in InCheck reports.
• Streamline Processes: Simplify the process of locating and selecting the right product.
• Enhance Reporting Accuracy: Ensure accurate and reliable data for reporting.

Who can add the PIDs in the BHive CIL?

All BHive users can add PIDs in The BHive CIL.
• The BHive users with & without InCheck, can utilise the PID matching to find the chemicals from ZDHC Gateway and ensure data consistency.
• InCheck subscribers will be able to use them for simplified InCheck matching.

→ What is the most important aspect I need to take-away?

You will have to download a new Excel Template to upload your CIL - the old one will not work!

Coming mid-December: In the app, you
will be able to search chemical products
by PID.

My ChemStore:
If the PID is available in one of your

PID in any of the previous inventories）
, you will be able to transfer this
information to the next month.

Download the NEW Excel template.

The old Excel template will not work
anymore

You will now input the PID in column D. The

system will then prioritize matching your
chemicals with the available PIDs.

After uploading the filled-out Excel template, you might find your results in

the two tables. Depending on what information you uploaded matched our
1) PID + chemical name + manufacturer match with the database
database, your chemicals will either show up in the upper table as • Upper table as a successful database match
database matches or in the lower table, where you need to take additional
action: 2) Neither PID + chemical name + manufacturer all match with the database
• The product goes into the lower table.
• Please search for your product again either by name or PID. If you cannot find it, add it
manually.

3) Chemical name + manufacturer all match with the database NO PID uploaded.
• Upper table as a successful database match
• If the PID is available for this chemical product, it will be automatically added to your CIL*

4) PID matches with our database, the chemical name + manufacturer do not.
• Upper table as a successful database match
• The chemical name and manufacturer are automatically changed to the ones attached to the
PID found in our database.

5) Chemical name + manufacturer match with the database, but the PID does not.
• Upper table as a successful database match
• The PID is automatically changed to the one attached to the chemical name and manufacturer
found in our database.

*please note that not all PIDs are available.

In this case, please add the PID later in Upload Step 4.

You can search by name, manufacturer or PID

For November and December reports it will still
