Assent Inc. launched its Assent Sustainability Platform (ASP) to facilitate and streamline sharing of critical compliance reporting and declarations across business partners to reduce labor and errors and improve supplier relations.
Early access results from users who piloted the new platform showed suppliers are proactively submitting declarations five times faster vs. a request-driven standard, with a 92% time savings overall.
“Transparency, responsiveness, and accuracy are pillars of our customer-supplier relationship,” says Catherine Cormier, Assent’s chief product officer. “The launch of the Assent Sustainability Platform is another critical step in removing the complexity from compliance and sustainability reporting. Our network and new platform are purpose-built to empower these relationships so that manufacturers across the supply chain can be active partners in building resilient businesses and a sustainable future.”
Key takeaways:
- The Assent Sustainability Platform offers a centralized digital workspace designed to share data and declarations, improve data coverage, and reduce the supplier labor burden. This enhances visibility across the supply chain while ensuring regulatory compliance through smart automation and proactive data-sharing capabilities.
- Built on the Assent Sustainability Network of data and suppliers, the platform eliminates redundant processes and enhances data transparency by enabling manufacturing suppliers to manage product compliance and sustainability requests seamlessly in a single dashboard; proactively share data with multiple customers simultaneously; access enhanced product requests and compliance workflows with real-time updates; and more efficiently respond to customer requests.
- For manufacturers, the platform gives regulatory, compliance and risk teams access to manufacturing data network connecting products, parts and suppliers.
