compliance software innovation

ouR Company

we are a leading supply Chain Compliance management company specialising in the development and delivery of services and software to organisations around the world.most organisations rely on their supply chains to help them deliver products and services to their customers. whether you are choosing new vendors or working with trusted old friends you need to know they meet, and continue to meet, your requirements. this is seldom as straightforward as it ought to be and often leads to unwelcome costs, excessive demands on your time or, worst case, uncertainty and risk.

we work with our clients to ensure their exact requirements are clearly defined, used to measure vendors against and monitored for continued compliance. a complete and comprehensive audit trail not only provides maximum levels of assurancebut also demonstrates due diligence to third parties.

sophisticated cloud-based software enables you and your supply chain to collaborate in achieving the highest levels of compliance and assurance possible whilst minimising the cost and time required to do so.

altius was formed in 2007 by a team of experienced, passionate and committed individuals who have quickly earned a reputation for excellent customer service, innovation and value. we have built an impressive client list that includes many household names across the uK, north america and asia-pacific.

Supply Chain pRoFilinG

Our supply Chain Compliance experts work with you in a discovery phase to identify the characteristics of your supply chain and design efficient and effective strategies to manage risk and compliance.

Our purpose-built bucketizer™ can be deployed to allow vendors to undertake a self-assessment and risk assessment which will route them to the appropriate compliance process for your needs.

Judgements based on relevant characteristics will determine the need for further compliance interventions and the depth they should go to. ensuring these actions are appropriate and proportionate will balance the risk versus cost equation to provide truly cost-effective assurance.
