Vendorapp Intelligence

What is Vendorapp Intelligence

Vendorapp Intelligence is the automation engine that powers Vendorapp. It's designed to streamline complex vendor management processes with speed, structure, and precision.

From global sanctions screening to risk scoring, contract tracking, and lifecycle automation — Vendorapp Intelligence ensures every decision is timely, consistent, and backed by data. It sits at the heart of the platform, quietly handling the logic so your teams can focus on what matters.

Why it matters

Manual vendor vetting is slow, inconsistent, and often missed altogether. Vendorapp Intelligence removes that friction by embedding smart logic and automation throughout the vendor journey — saving time, improving compliance, and enabling scalable governance.

It supports:

One-click compliance
Consistent risk evaluations
Real-time alerts and contract tasks
Automatic lifecycle decisions
Clear audit trails and reporting

Even non-technical users can act confidently using the insights and decisions generated by Vendorapp Intelligence.

How it works

Vendorapp Intelligence evaluates vendors at every key stage. Its intelligent automation performs the following:

Pre-screening checks when a vendor is added
Sanctions screening against global enforcement lists
Risk assessments for exposure, ESG, and contract access
Contract tracking for expiry dates, renewal timelines, and risk categorization
Lifecycle automation to assign vendor stages, close expired contracts, and flag inactivity
In-flight cancellations for breach or business-driven termination
Usage analytics to support platform governance and vendor engagement metrics

All this happens behind the scenes, using pre-set rules, scoring models, and real-time data inputs.

Key capabilities

Capability	What it does
Global Sanctions Screening	Checks vendors against global watchlists, flags high-risk or restricted entities
Exposure Risk Rating (ERR)	Assesses operational, data privacy, and compliance risk
ESG Risk Rating	Evaluates environmental, social, and governance alignment using public data
Contract Intelligence	Tracks contract types, risk, expiry, renewal/cancellation workflows
Lifecycle Management	Moves vendors through predefined stages and deables inactive vendors
Notifications and Triggers	Automatically creates tasks for contract closure, review or remediation
Reporting and Insights	Surfaces actionable reports and platform usage data

Risk scoring and compliance

Vendorapp Intelligence ensures risk is assessed consistently using built-in models:

ERR (Exposure Risk Rating): Based on business continuity, security, and data privacy
ESG Rating: Based on environmental, sustainability, and governance signals
ARR (Access Risk Rating): Based on the level of system or data access a vendor requires

These ratings feed into workflows like approvals, rejections, contract planning, and ongoing monitoring. Assessments are valid for 12 months and can be refreshed manually or triggered as needed.

Visibility by plan

All Vendorapp users benefit from Vendorapp Intelligence, but visibility into full results depends on your plan:

Free plan: Blurred data and locked assessment certificates
Paid plans: Full assessment certificate visibility for clearer insights

This structure ensures even light users get core benefits, while advanced teams unlock the full power of the platform for compliance, governance, and audit-readiness.
