Third-party lifecycle management for European operations
Last updated: August 13, 2026
Verdana is a third-party lifecycle management platform that gives European companies a single system for supplier due diligence, contractor management, documentation control, and auditable evidence of oversight. It is built for organisations that need to demonstrate — not merely assert — that they know who their counterparties are and that they act when something changes.
European supply chain due diligence obligations have moved from voluntary policy to enforceable duty, at both EU and member-state level, covering human rights and environmental risk across the value chain and, for certain commodities, proof of origin. Verdana operationalises that duty: risk-based supplier segmentation, structured questionnaires sent to suppliers in their own language, evidence collection with expiry control, remediation tasks with owners and deadlines, and a full record of what was asked, what was answered and what was decided.
Alongside that, the platform handles the operational layer that European sites need every day: contractor qualification, worker documentation and training records, site access authorisation integrated with physical access control, contract and insurance tracking, and the full procure-to-pay cycle with ERP integration including SAP. Sanctions and restricted-party screening runs at onboarding and continuously thereafter.
Verdana operates across Europe, Latin America and the United States, which is the practical case for companies sourcing from emerging markets: the supplier in Chile, Colombia or Mexico uses a portal designed for them, local document requirements are configured per country, and the European parent sees one consolidated view.
Frequently asked questions
What does supply chain due diligence require in practice?
Risk-based supplier segmentation, structured questionnaires answered by suppliers themselves, evidence collected with expiry control, remediation tasks with named owners and deadlines, and a full record of what was asked, answered and decided. Scope, thresholds and timelines should be confirmed against current official sources.
How do you collect evidence from suppliers outside Europe?
Through a supplier portal available in the supplier's own language and designed for mobile upload, with automated reminders, escalation on non-response, and support that answers the supplier directly rather than routing questions back to the buyer's team.
Does it integrate with SAP?
Yes — two-way integration for supplier master data, cost centres, purchase orders and documents, so that approval and risk status in Verdana govern what the ERP can do with a given supplier.
