AI-Driven Supplier Discovery
GEP Supplier Diversity includes AI-powered matching that recommends diverse suppliers based on spend patterns, category requirements, and diversity certifications, helping procurement teams discover suppliers they might not have found manually.
Diversity Certification Management
The platform uniquely aggregates certifications from multiple sources and automates validation against issuing body databases, reducing manual verification work and providing a single source of truth for supplier diversity status across the organization.
Advanced Diversity Analytics
Built-in goal-setting, attainment tracking, and year-end forecasting enable procurement leaders to model diversity spend scenarios and track progress against targets by certification type, business unit, and category in real-time.
Deployment Speed
Despite a 6-12 month overall timeline, GEP's cloud delivery and prebuilt ERP connectors accelerate time-to-value compared to on-premise alternatives, with core dashboarding often available within 3-4 months.
Supplier Engagement Features
The platform includes supplier self-registration, diversity profile management, and tier 2 reporting portals, enabling suppliers to maintain their own information and helping prime contractors track and report on downstream subcontractor diversity.
ESG & Compliance Reporting
Integrated ESG data export and social impact reporting support CSRD and other international frameworks, extending the platform's value beyond U.S. government contracting to corporate ESG commitments.
Global Supplier Diversity Support
While strongest in North America, the platform is expanding internationally with support for UK Social Value Act reporting and emerging support for other countries' diversity classification systems.
AI-Driven Supplier Discovery
EcoVadis Supplier Diversity leverages EcoVadis' proprietary supplier intelligence database to surface and match diverse suppliers in the procurement database, with automated alignment to buyer spend categories and geographic requirements.
Diversity Certification Management
The platform uniquely integrates automated validation against issuing body databases (such as NMSDC, WBENC, regional certifiers) to prevent fraud and maintain real-time certification status, combined with expiry alerts and renewal workflows.
Advanced Diversity Analytics
Real-time dashboards provide multi-dimensional diversity spend analysis (by certification type, business unit, product category, geography) with year-end attainment forecasting and goal variance tracking powered by predictive analytics.
Deployment Speed
EcoVadis' pre-built ERP connectors (SAP, Oracle, Workday) and vendor self-service portal reduce manual data entry and enable faster go-live (3–4 months for well-prepared organizations) compared to manual diversity tracking spreadsheets.
Supplier Engagement Features
Integrated supplier self-registration portal with role-based access, diversity profile management, and certification document upload streamlines onboarding and reduces supplier friction versus email-based processes.
ESG & Compliance Reporting
Native export of supplier diversity data to ESG/CSRD reporting frameworks and government compliance templates (SBA, FAR, MWBE) reduces manual report compilation and audit risk.
Global Supplier Diversity Support
Supports multiple international diversity classification frameworks (US MBE/WBE, UK Social Value Act, Canadian EDVP, emerging support for Australia and South Africa), enabling multinational enterprises to manage policies across regions.
AI-Driven Supplier Discovery
IntegrityNext uses machine learning to match your diversity spend gaps and category requirements against available diverse suppliers, surfacing acquisition opportunities that align with unmet goals. The AI engine learns from your historical spend patterns and certification trends to predict which supplier categories will help you hit attainment targets.
Diversity Certification Management
The platform uniquely handles multi-source certification aggregation with deduplication and automatic expiry tracking across dozens of certification types (SBA, state MWBE, corporate programs, international schemes). Automated validation against issuing-body databases ensures your vendor master stays current without manual re-verification.
Advanced Diversity Analytics
Unlike stand-alone reporting tools, IntegrityNext combines spend analytics, goal tracking, and impact projection in a unified system. The platform prevents double-counting across overlapping certifications, provides granular dashboards by certification type, business unit, category, and geography, and includes forecasting models to predict year-end attainment.
Deployment Speed
Cloud-native architecture and pre-built ERP/P2P connectors typically enable live dashboards within 8–12 weeks of project start, compared to custom-build alternatives. Most organizations go live with initial functionality before completing historical data cleanup, allowing early value realization.
Supplier Engagement Features
The platform provides a self-service supplier portal for profile and certification management, built-in tier-2 data collection workflows, mentoring program tracking, and performance scorecards. These features reduce manual outreach and enable suppliers to stay compliant independently.
ESG & Compliance Reporting
IntegrityNext exports diversity and social-impact data in ESG and CSRD-ready formats, tracks economic impact (jobs, wages, tax revenue), and supports both U.S. regulatory frameworks (SBA, FAR, state MWBE) and emerging international standards (UK Social Value Act). The platform consolidates supplier diversity and ESG reporting into one source of truth.
Global Supplier Diversity Support
While strongest in North America, the platform increasingly supports international diversity frameworks including UK Social Value Act, Australian Indigenous procurement rules, South African B-BBEE, and emerging Canadian and Indian diversity classifications. Multi-language and multi-currency support enables global program management, though some international certifications rely on manual data entry.
