Buyer expectations have expanded beyond sustainability reporting to include product-level sustainability, supplier engagement, data quality and completeness, AI-capabilities, and supply chain performance. Real-world customer outcomes require more than software alone. Assent helps manufacturers close the gap with the most complete Product Intelligence Network of high-quality compliance and sustainability data, and deep domain expertise to make sense of it all.“Being named a Leader again reflects the strength of our technology investments and business momentum, but software alone can’t solve incomplete supplier data or the complexity of evolving requirements like PPWR and DPP,” said Michael Southworth, CEO of Assent. “For manufacturers operating across complex global supply networks, those challenges multiply across thousands of parts, suppliers and constantly changing requirements. By combining intelligent automation with deep manufacturing regulatory expertise and guided execution, we give manufacturers the speed to act and the confidence to stand behind every compliance decision.”Verdantix’s analysis process for the Supply Chain Sustainability Software Green Quadrant evaluated 16 software providers and included a 75-point vendor questionnaire, live demonstration and briefing sessions, customer evidence, and analyst research to score vendors across 10 distinct technical and functional capabilities and 12 momentum categories. This report named Assent as one of eight firms that have demonstrated “the most advanced supply chain software capabilities.” This recognition builds on Assent’s position as a Leader in the independent research and advisory firm’s 2024 Green Quadrant for Supply Chain Sustainability.Learn about our Product Intelligence Network here.Verdantix is a trusted intelligence provider for software and services markets.
