Worldly acquired Bendi Software Ltd., integrating Bendi's technology across the Worldly platform over the coming months, expanding capabilities within Worldly Axion, Supplier Compliance Management, and adjacent products.
As a result, customers will gain access to deep-tier supplier visibility, continuously updated supplier risk scoring, and AI-powered assessment automation.
"For years, our customers have told us the same thing: visibility is much more challenging beyond Tier 1 suppliers and that blind spot is exactly where the greatest labor, environmental, and compliance risk lives," says Scott Raskin, CEO of Worldly. "Regulators and stakeholders are now demanding answers in that gap, and the consequences — legal exposure, reputational harm, and supply chain disruption — are escalating fast. Worldly is building the largest network of primary supplier data in the consumer goods industry; Bendi adds AI-powered discovery and risk intelligence for suppliers that brands haven't yet engaged with directly. Together, we'll give companies the visibility to manage risk proactively, not just react after the fact."
"We started Bendi because fewer than half of companies have full visibility into their supply chain, and visibility falls off fastest exactly where the risk is highest, deep in the tiers where labor and environmental harm are most likely to occur. That's the problem we've spent years solving,” says Mandeep Soor, co-founder and CEO, Bendi. “Joining Worldly means we can bring that capability to the brands and manufacturers that need it urgently, and at a scale that simply wasn't possible independently."
Key takeaways:
· With Bendi integrated into Worldly’s Supplier Compliance Management solution and across the platform, Worldly is positioned to serve compliance-driven demand at scale.
