AI-Driven Supplier Discovery
Globality's AI-powered discovery engine matches enterprise procurement needs to a database of pre-vetted diverse suppliers, surfacing candidates that might otherwise be undiscovered. The platform uses engagement history and category affinity to rank and recommend suppliers, reducing manual RFX cycles and time-to-source.
Diversity Certification Management
Globality aggregates certifications from multiple issuer databases (government, third-party) and auto-validates expiration status. The platform reconciles suppliers' claims against public registries and flags discrepancies, providing audit-ready proof of due diligence in a way that spreadsheets and manual tracking cannot.
Advanced Diversity Analytics
Real-time dashboards break down diverse spend by certification type, business unit, category, and geography. The platform includes goal-setting and year-end attainment projection features, allowing procurement leaders to forecast whether targets will be met and identify shortfalls early.
Deployment Speed
Pre-built connectors to major ERPs (SAP, Oracle, Workday) and automated data mapping reduce typical implementation from 6+ months to 12–16 weeks for first-phase go-live. Self-service supplier portal and templated reporting reduce change-management overhead.
Supplier Engagement Features
Globality provides a supplier self-service portal for profile updates, certification uploads, and performance tracking. For prime contractors, a dedicated tier-2 reporting portal enables streamlined subcontractor data collection and compliance visibility without manual spreadsheets.
ESG & Compliance Reporting
The platform exports diversity and ESG metrics aligned with CSRD, UK Social Value Act, and similar international frameworks. It includes pre-built templates for government compliance (SBA ISR/SSR, FAR, state MWBE) and calculates economic impact (jobs, wages, tax revenue, local multiplier effects).
Global Supplier Diversity Support
Globality supports international diversity classification frameworks for UK, Australia, Canada, South Africa, and India. The platform can aggregate and report on multi-regional diversity programs, enabling multinational enterprises to centralize diversity management across jurisdictions.
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
Certa's AI-powered matching engine identifies and recommends diverse suppliers based on capability, location, and spend patterns, accelerating supplier onboarding and helping procurement teams meet diversity targets proactively.
Diversity Certification Management
Multi-source certification aggregation from federal, state, and third-party databases, combined with automated validation against issuing bodies and real-time renewal tracking, eliminates manual audit work and reduces compliance risk.
Advanced Diversity Analytics
Predictive forecasting and year-end attainment modeling allow buyers to project whether they will meet diversity goals by category, business unit, and certification type, enabling mid-year corrections and strategic supplier development.
Deployment Speed
Certa's cloud-native architecture and pre-built ERP connectors typically enable go-live in 3–6 months for standard deployments, substantially faster than custom-built or on-premise alternatives.
Supplier Engagement Features
The platform includes supplier self-registration, profile management, tier-2 reporting portal for sub-contractor visibility, and supplier development tracking, reducing manual coordination and enabling transparency across the supply chain.
ESG & Compliance Reporting
Integrated ESG data collection and CSRD-aligned reporting, combined with economic impact calculations (jobs, wages, tax revenue, local multiplier), help organizations quantify and communicate social value creation.
Global Supplier Diversity Support
Support for UK Social Value Act, Australian, South African, Canadian, and Indian diversity classifications, plus international MWBE equivalents, enables multinational enterprises to manage compliance across regions from a single platform.
