Vendor Identity Verification Process Automation

How secure is your supplier and vendor verification process? Vendor fraud is one of the most prevalent financial crimes experienced by companies worldwide, making thorough vendor validation essential. Graphite Connect offers a robust vendor identity verification solution that mitigates risks and improves compliance. Discover how Graphite can improve vendor verification for your organization, providing the security and peace of mind your company needs to operate smoothly and confidently.

The vendor validation process made easy

When bad actors are able to compromise vendor or supplier email accounts, they can update banking data and redirect payments with ease. Fraudsters are committing business email compromise on all sizes of business and targeting ones who lack processes and technology to properly vet, verify and manage vendors.

Seamless integration

Graphite Connect seamlessly integrates with your existing ERPs, third-party data providers and project management tools like Jira and Slack. This compatibility reduces the need for extensive training and helps your team quickly adapt to the new process. Think of Graphite like the sieve that weeds out bad or fraudulent data before it hits your ERP, keeping your master vendor data clean and protected.

Automated verification

By automating the vendor verification process, Graphite Connect eliminates manual errors and improves accuracy. This automation not only speeds up verification but also makes sure that all compliance requirements are consistently met.

Real-time updates

Stay informed with real-time updates on the status of your vendor verification. This feature allows you to promptly address any issues and make informed decisions throughout the vendor screening process, reducing the risk of working with non-compliant suppliers.

Expedite your vendor verification process

Fast supplier onboarding

Our platform makes the vendor identity verification process quick and efficient, minimizing the time spent on onboarding new suppliers and ensuring supplier-managed data comes straight from the correct source. This feature reduces delays and helps you start working with verified vendors faster.

Accurate data collection

Graphite Connect collects and verifies vendor information with high accuracy, reducing the risk of errors and fraudulent activities. Through telecom verification and a live identity verification technology similar to the technology used by LinkedIn to verify accounts, vendors are confirmed to be who they say they are. This means you only work with legitimate and reliable suppliers, which protects your business interests.

Compliance assurance

Stay compliant with industry regulations through our automated commercial vendor data validation checks. This feature reduces the risk of non-compliance penalties and boosts your organization’s reputation for meeting legal standards.

Why Graphite Connect?

Enhanced security measures for preventing vendor fraud

Graphite validates key data points provided by vendors and suppliers during onboarding to prevent fraud. These data points include mobile phone number, PII like name and email, company locations, bank account, company name/DBA, Tax Identification Number (TIN), and tax classification.

Real-time ID verification for product and service providers

Vendor identities are confirmed in real-time as they complete onboarding. This method – which meets GDPR privacy and CCPA standards – uses cutting-edge technology to take a live selfie and confirm identity with a government ID as well, preventing a bad actor from using deepfake technology to corrupt supplier data.

Flexible options baked into the vendor verification process

While our telecom and government ID verification is the fastest way to get vendors onboarded, manual ID verification process remains available for vendors unable to complete the streamlined process. This flexibility ensures that all vendors can be verified securely, regardless of their circumstances.
