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
Sedex leverages its global supplier intelligence network and ESG data to power AI-assisted supplier matching and discovery. The platform uses industry and capability signals to recommend diverse suppliers that fit specific procurement categories and business requirements, reducing manual search effort.
Diversity Certification Management
Sedex automates certification validation against authoritative issuing body databases (NMSDC, WBENC, SBA, etc.), ingests multi-source certifications, and maintains expiry tracking with automated renewal alerts. This removes manual verification burden and ensures current, accurate certification status at scale.
Advanced Diversity Analytics
The platform provides multi-dimensional spend analytics, goal-attainment tracking by certification type, business unit, and category, year-end forecasting with variance analysis, and economic impact calculation (jobs, wages, tax revenue). Dashboards are real-time and exportable for compliance and executive reporting.
Deployment Speed
Cloud-native SaaS architecture and pre-built connectors (SAP Ariba, Coupa, Oracle, etc.) enable 3–6 month implementations. Sedex manages infrastructure and updates; customers avoid long on-premise deployment cycles.
Supplier Engagement Features
The platform includes a self-service supplier portal for registration, profile management, certification upload, and performance feedback. Tier 2 reporting portal enables prime contractors to track subcontractor diversity compliance. Automated notifications and performance scorecards drive engagement.
ESG & Compliance Reporting
Sedex integrates diversity and ESG metrics into a unified reporting layer. It supports US regulatory frameworks (SBA ISR, FAR, state MWBE) and UK Social Value Act requirements. Export-ready reports and dashboards streamline compliance filing and stakeholder communication.
Global Supplier Diversity Support
Sedex supports international diversity classifications for UK, South Africa, Australia, Canada, and India. The platform aligns with regional compliance frameworks (e.g., BEE in South Africa, Indigenous classifications in Canada, CSRD in Europe) and provides multi-currency, multi-language portals where applicable.
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.
