Venminder Releases New Feature That Drives Efficient Vendor Onboarding and Vetting

Elizabethtown, KY - Venminder, an industry recognized provider of third party risk management solutions, today announced a new Vendor Onboarding module available in their SaaS platform. The highly anticipated new feature can streamline the evaluation of a vendor and assessment of risk before a contractual agreement is entered. 

“When you contract with a third party, you become responsible for any risk posed by their activities. That’s why, especially in today’s regulatory climate, it’s vital you get to know the vendors you’re going to do business with and put them through a defined vetting process,” said James Hyde, CEO of Venminder. “Following process and completing due diligence ultimately ensures you can make an informed decision on whether that’s the right vendor or not. Our vendor onboarding module can make the process a whole lot easier and consistent by providing all the tools you need.”  

The Vendor Onboarding release enables customers to:

• Evaluate and manage vendor requests in a dedicated work area. Actions include:
  • Collecting documentation
  • Reviewing due diligence requirements
  • Uploading contract documentation
  • Sending questionnaires
  • Recording references
• Automate new vendor requests to require review and approval by defined users
• Easily compare side-by-side the data of multiple vendors under consideration
• Transfer all data and documentation to an active vendor record once an agreement is in place

Venminder is due to soon sign it’s 700^th customer. The firm attributes its rapid growth and success by its very unique offering of both their comprehensive SaaS software built with the capabilities to drive an entire third party risk management program, as well as experienced in-house teams to identify and risk assess vendor documentation and data for oversight analytics or insights.
