Avetta understands every business is unique and so are their compliance needs. Because of that, Avetta believes in partnering with companies to identify areas of risk in the supply chain and segment suppliers based on the amount of risk they present to the business. Avetta prefers this methodology instead of a one-size-fits-all approach to supplier screening because it avoids asking for too little information. Avetta delivers a solution configured to the exact needs of every business, functioning as a web-based data exchange for all necessary supply chain compliance information. Intuitive icons and scorecards provide a simple view, detailing which suppliers meet company standards, and which don’t. This allows associated companies to easily make informed decisions and minimize supply chain risk.
