Assent Inc. officially announced the general availability of its new compliance platform. Enterprise solution, named the Assent Distributor Experience, helps distributors collect, manage, share complex product compliance data across massive inventory catalogs. Built directly on the Assent Network, this technology simplifies data tracking for businesses managing thousands of changing parts.
It is common for distributors to find themselves under extreme pressure when buyers ask for compliance documentation that is missing. Despite the fact that distributors do not manufacture the parts themselves, it is their responsibility to provide the regulatory information to the buyers. Modern buyers now demand instant regulatory declarations in contracts and competitive bids. Furthermore, complex global rules like PFAS, TSCA, and REACH demand constant data updates. Adding extra staff to chase suppliers manually remains far too expensive.
Brinda Harper, Senior Vice President of Product at Assent, highlighted these growing industry challenges:
“Distributors are being held accountable for compliance information they do not create, across product catalogs too large and dynamic for manual processes,” said Brinda Harper, SVP of Product at Assent. “The Assent Distributor Experience changes that model by connecting distributor catalogs, supplier data, and customer requests on the Assent Network. It gives distributors a scalable way to protect revenue, strengthen customer trust, and turn compliance responsiveness into a competitive advantage.”
Centralizing Supply Data and Streamlining Request Workflows
By leveraging the Assent Distributor Experience, companies connect directly to pre-existing regulatory records and active global suppliers immediately. Therefore, teams begin with relevant data instantly rather than building supplier outreach programs from scratch.
Key features include:
- Scalable Catalog Management: Upload and manage massive inventory lists without relying on complex bill-of-materials structures.
- AI Match & Validation: Conduct automated matching for customer, distributor, and manufacturer part numbers with guided validation.
- Automated Request Parsing: Consolidate all compliance requests received into one dashboard to process and automatically match requests.
- Effective Information Reuse: Automatically reuse information from existing Assent Network declarations and then complete the rest via supplier engagement.
- Program Analytics: Analyze live analytics on declaration completions, supplier responses, and coverage.
As a result of collaborating with Assent Distributor Experience, supply organizations will have the capability to fulfill more requests without internal resources. Furthermore, through consolidation of all requests, supply organizations will be able to ensure that customer renewals and successful deals are possible.
The Assent Distributor Experience also eliminates any manual back-and-forth communication due to automated reminders and role-based routing of requests. Finally, full visibility helps leadership identify compliance gaps throughout their entire product catalogs.
Right now, the Assent Distributor Experience is available worldwide to organizations operating as distributors and not manufacturing companies. Hence, early adopters of the Assent Distributor Experience will have an opportunity to capitalize on compliance speed.
