Compliance Goes Beyond One Single Regulation or Data Point

Companies have to collect, organize, and report data across a range of laws, including a wide spectrum of topics (ie. corporate social responsibility & product compliance) in addition to collecting various data points from suppliers for basic onboarding purposes, codes of conduct and policy checks, and other logistical information.

Scalability

Gives Compliance Personnel the Ability To:

▪ Schedule, send, and monitor all supplier campaigns from one central location

▪ Collect many declarations from suppliers simultaneously

▪ Leverage information across all compliance programs

▪ Access compliance data anywhere, at any time

▪ Expand compliance programs to reflect the evolving regulatory landscape

What Is a Compliance Platform Solution?
