Complete managed services for supplier qualification and on-boarding

Our focus is supplier qualification. We qualify each supplier against your requirements and best practices in over 20+ ESG and sustainabilty risk areas. We do the hard work on qualification and give you time for recruitment, selection, contracting and onboarding. We have the expertise to assess each supplier effectively and provide useful guidance and answers. We know our markets, the challenges in each of them and have built comprehensive risk models that we apply to each review.

Unless your team are experts at human rights, modern day slavery, health & safety, information security, data privacy, anti-bribery, whistleblowing, governance, workplace practices, waste management, pollution controls, and climate change, then you probably are not qualified to assess information in a supplier quickly or effectively. We have the depth of talent and automated processes to assess these issues to help guide your qualification and onboarding.

Many companies are having each supplier complete 100's of questions, mostly irrelevant to what they are supplying. Even worse, when it comes to reviewing that information, they are mostly ignoring the answers, conducting a cursory completeness check or not appreciating the risk posed in the answers. All of this highlights the challenge of conducting supplier qualification when you are considering so many issues all at the one time. You need experts.

We charge per supplier according to the levels purchased. To make things easier, we charge clients a bulk package and they simply 'draw down' credits against that purchase. It saves the admin time of administration and allows both of us to manage our time on what matters: making sure that the suppliers that you engage with are properly qualified.

The qualification process is often stuck in between supplier selection and contracting. It is a tough time to add in an additional time consuming process. We appreciate the need to be quick and provide effective solutions during this window of time. While responses from the supplier area bit out of our control, we will do everything we can to move it along quickly and will agree with you some time limits.

Most supplier qualification processes give very little feedback to the supplier. The supplier gives a lot of information and then hears very little by way of feedback. We believe there is a great opportunity for your supplier qualification process to not only communicate your expectations to the supplier but also provide them guidance on how they can drive improvement in managing risk.

Operate focus risk areas separately while monitoring them collectively. Whether managing broad ESG risk areas (up to 19) or customising your own, our platform accommodates varied team structures and ensures streamlined data gathering for reporting.
