Assent Inc. debuted Request Manager, what is said to be the industry’s first AI-native solution that addresses how suppliers efficiently manage and respond to customer compliance and sustainability requests.
Built on the Assent Sustainability Platform, Request Manager empowers suppliers to deliver accurate, high-quality regulatory data, declarations, and supporting documentation with greater speed and efficiency through a single, streamlined workflow to reduce management effort, lower compliance costs, and mitigate supply chain risk.

It transforms a historically fragmented process by harnessing the data already embedded in the Assent Sustainability Platform to deliver speed, time savings, and scale,” says Michael Southworth, CEO of Assent. “As we extend our offering to the broader supply chain, this marks a pivotal moment for Assent, a new standard for supplier engagement that enables proactive compliance and helps create a more connected and resilient network where organizations can respond with confidence to reduce risk.”
