ScenarioYou have chosen to partner with Assent Compliance and now want to view the data you’ve shared in your unique software environment setup.

Why Is This Important?

■ Your unique environment only reflects the data that matters to you.

■ Whether your program covers one or many regulations, the navigable pathways and interface are the same.

How Can Assent Help?Assent makes it easy to navigate through your unique software environment - getting to any accessible page within clicks.

Use Case #1: Building Your Unique Environment







ScenarioYou want to begin surveying your supply chain for declarations for a given regulation.


■ This is the first pillar of activity within the Assent software, and all further activity is downstream from this.

How Can Assent Help?We offer an easy-to-use tool when creating email requests for information, whether it’s your initial engagement with the supply chain, or a follow-up to a specific unresponsive supplier.

Use Case #2: Surveying/Email Campaigning







ScenarioAs a supplier, you’ve received an email requesting declaration information and you have been prompted to use Assent’s Supplier Portal.


■ This is the primary means for suppliers to submit their declarations to Assent’s system.

How Can Assent Help?We provide your suppliers with a no cost, no login Supplier Portal experience, ensuring the highest level of engagement we can with your supply chain.

Use Case #3: Supplier Portal







ScenarioYour suppliers have submitted declaration information and you want to view how that has impacted your software platform.


■ The status of your company and your products is a communication of your suppliers’ declarations.

How Can Assent Help?We present you with everything from high-level overviews to detailed drill-downs of your data throughout the Assent Platform.

Use Case #4: Analyzing Responses







ScenarioAn enforcement body or your customer has requested declaration information for one of your products. You want to pull a report with which to build that declaration.


■ Proving your product to be compliant for a given regulation is the ultimate function of the Assent Platform.

How Can Assent Help?Easily locate and generate reports for all regulations at varying levels (supplier, part, product).

Use Case #5: Reporting







ScenarioYour supply chain has been notified that they need to provide you with regulatory declarations, but some of your suppliers don’t understand what is expected of them.


■ Providing your suppliers with the right tools to understand regulations and build the expected documentation is essential to the success of your program.
