HOUSTON, Sept. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Veriforce, the
premier supply chain risk and compliance management solution, today
announced new, innovative capabilities to better connect the more
than 800 hiring clients, 50,000 contracting companies, and 2.5
million workers in the Veriforce Network. As part of what is now
the industry's most powerful marketplace, third-party contractors
can showcase their capabilities, experience, qualifications, and
safety readiness, making it faster and easier for companies to make
informed hiring decisions to create safer workplaces and mitigate
risks across their supply chains.
Organizations increasingly rely on third-party contractors to
sustain and expand their businesses, yet they have long struggled
to connect and share information that is critical to smart hiring
practices, including health and safety practices and compliance
activities. Failure to properly vet contracting companies and their
workers can have serious consequences, including compromised safety
and security and costly business disruptions. According to a
study from Deloitte Insights, 87% of respondents have faced a
disruptive incident due to third-parties in the past two to three
years. Companies that leverage proactive risk mitigation measures,
such as vetting contractors for compliance and safety readiness,
reduce those risks and spend 50% less to manage
disruptions than those who did not take a proactive approach.
"Identifying qualified contractors is a critical component of
supply chain risk management, yet it is challenging, especially for
those that are juggling scores of contractor companies to fill jobs
around the world," said Colby Lane,
CEO Veriforce. "They need an efficient way to find and assess
contractors to bring onboard. These enhancements to the Veriforce
Network help to create a reliable, global marketplace for them to
connect and grow their businesses safely."

qualifications, such as licenses, accreditations, verified

"The Veriforce Network has enhanced our connection capability,
