The problem

Industrial manufacturers run on thousands of third parties — raw material suppliers, component makers, contract manufacturers, logistics providers, distributors, sales agents. Every one of them touches your cost, your quality, your delivery commitments, and your compliance posture.

Most manufacturing TPRM programs are stitched together from ERP records, procurement spreadsheets, and annual supplier audits. Onboarding a new supplier takes weeks while production waits. Due diligence depth varies by whoever runs the review. A single-source failure — or a customs hold tied to a forced-labor flag — can idle a line within days.

Certa gives manufacturers one workflow to onboard suppliers fast, run due diligence to a consistent standard, monitor risk continuously, and produce audit-ready evidence on demand.

Onboarding while production waits

Weeks of back-and-forth across ERP records, spreadsheets, and email threads.

Inconsistent due diligence

Review depth varies by whoever runs it — not by the risk the supplier carries.

A line idled in days

A single-source failure or a customs hold on a forced-labor flag stops production fast.

Evidence in inboxes

When a customer, auditor, or regulator asks for proof, it lives in file shares and memory.
