The top 3 features that set Assent Compliance solutions apart from the competitors are as follows:

1. Software Design Methodology

2. Assent’s Turnkey Service offering

3. Campaign Manager & Supplier Portal

SOFTWARE DESIGN METHODOLOGYAssent’s Regulatory team works with Assent IT on the development and design of the Assent Compliance

Management System (ACM). The approach used by this group is to partner with clients and industry in

order to take leadership position and be first to market with service offering and software features.

Here are a few of the Industry Groups that Assent is a member of:

1. IPC – IPC 1755 & IPC 1752 Committee member)

2. NAEM – Affiliate Council Member

3. Conflict Minerals Stakeholder Forum – Forum Leader

4. CFSI


TOP 3 COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

Assent also works with many large Fortune 500 Clients who are leaders in their own respective industries:

• Honeywell

• Thermo Fisher

• Esterline

• Corning

Placing our team in these leadership positions and partnering with these large organizations allows our team

to stay on the forefront of regulatory requirements and best practices. This benefits all our clients as we are

first to market with most features and support industry leading best practices throughout our system.

An excellent example of this would be the recently passed Conflict Minerals regulation. As the market

leader, Assent Compliance was asked to come down and speak to the SEC regarding Conflict Minerals

software and associated costs during the Proposed Rules phase. This provided Assent with unique ac-

cess to law makers which gave Assent a leading edge of software design.

Today, this advantage manifests itself through our market penetration and adoption rate as well as lead-

ing initiatives such as the Smelter Verification program (Note: If you search the final rules for “Assent” you

see our 4 citations in the final law).


TURNKEY SERVICESAssent Compliance offers best in class Turnkey services. The combination of our innovation design ap-

proach for the ACM SaaS platform and unmatched breadth and depth of Professional services puts Assent

Compliance head and shoulders above our competition when it comes to providing a Turnkey solution.

Most of our competitors usually fall into 1 of 2 categories:

1. Software providers who offer Turnkey services as an afterthought (or worse – through a 3rd party)

2. Consultants who have a basic software or file storage system.

Assent Compliance provides strength on both sides which sets it apart from its competitors.

The professional services we offer includes the best and most complete outsourced support available on

the market. This includes:

• Program design

• Full Supplier engagement

• Due diligence

• Reporting

• Program Guidance

• Q&A

Our hands on Supplier approach, leveraged by our leadership position in the market, gives us a higher

success rate and more in-depth services compared to other service providers.


CAMPAIGN MANAGER & SUPPLIER PORTAL:The ACM provides an interactive 2 way communication portal that provides our clients with a wide range of

configuration options for Email notifications and data intake.

Email campaigns for declaration requests can be created, managed and sent directly from the system.

These notifications can be customized both by content and recipient in order to make sure that a consis-

tent message is being sent to the appropriate segment of your Supply Chain.

All Email Campaign data is tracked in our system including opens, bounces and completion rates.

Asset’s Supplier Portal provides easy access to Suppliers with no need to pay or create an account for

login. Most regulations involve 3 clicks to compliance which allows suppliers to quickly and easily upload

the necessary information and submit it to our Client’s databases.

We offer Supplier Support in multiple languages including instant access to live agents via email, phone

and live chat support. Our Supplier Success Center provides FAQs, White Papers, Training videos and 1 to

1 guidance via email, phone or chat for all applicable regulations in our Client’s program.

All of data submitted by Suppliers is automatically validated in the portal and flagged for QA follow-up

based on Supplier responses. This workflow automation provides backbone of the superior results our

clients expect from Assent’s services and encourages Supplier participation (we have an industry leading

95% approval rate from Suppliers).
