Supplier Identity Verification

In a data-driven world, supply chain trust starts with verified supplier identity – and verified supplier

identity starts with ECCMA Know Your Supplier

Supplier identity verification ensures that your suppliers are who they claim to be.

Statistics from our data remediation projects show that around 25% of supplier records in company databases cannot be positively verified, and up to 30% are duplicate entries.

This leads to poor results from AI-agents, inaccurate spend analysis, higher data management costs, and exposure to accounts payable fraud.

ECCMA Supplier Identity Verification addresses these issues by verifying, standardizing and rationalizing your supplier master data. We address data quality first to power supply chain performance.

The work starts with verification of the legal identity of suppliers using data sourced direct from official business registers, the only authoritative source of company identity data.
