Our solution fully automates initial and annual risk analysis. Based on country- and industry-specific supplier information and AI, a risk score is created for each supplier. Suppliers are categorised into specific risk groups, allowing you to focus on the relevant suppliers and manage them more efficiently. You can configure your own rules for calculating the risk rating.
Efficiently conduct ad hoc risk analysis by automatically sending, monitoring and evaluating questionnaires. Choose from one of our compliant questionnaire templates or create your own. Suppliers can then access the questionnaires in our survey centre to easily answer questions, share relevant information and upload certificates for free.
Get a holistic view of all information about your suppliers, far beyond the requirements of the LkSG. With integrated external data sources, you can run sanctions checks and use AI to screen news to stay on top of potential risks and changes in your supplier landscape.
Our solution enables you to comply with two different legal requirements: the EU Whistleblower Directive and the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act. The complaint management system allows whistleblowers, potential victims of human rights abuses or NGO representatives to create and track cases - either anonymously, with a pseudonym or with personal identification.
By setting up triggers, conditions, actions and timers, you can automate your workflows to eliminate repetitive and time-consuming tasks and increase overall productivity. You can easily start with our out-of-the-box templates and build your own company-specific workflows over time.
Specific dashboards and KPIs enable you to identify trends, patterns and vulnerabilities in sustainability, procurement and supply chain activities. You can also automatically generate compliant reports in line with BAFA requirements to demonstrate the effectiveness of your risk management strategies and actions in securing your supply chain.
The osapiens HUB-iPaaS engine allows you to easily connect your existing customer systems (e.g. ERP, WMS, SCM, SRM, BW) to our solution and import all your suppliers with one click.

Since 1 January 2023, the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) sets rules for companies with more than 3,000 employees and at least one location in Germany how to ensure the protection of human rights in global supply chains and to fulfil their due diligence obligations towards their suppliers and business partners. From 01 January 2024, the law will also apply to companies with more than 1000 employees. In the future, EU-wide regulations with further requirements (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDD)) will be published.
The LkSG aims to address and minimise human rights risks, such as child and forced labour, as well as environmental risks, such as violations of the Minamata Convention. To achieve this, the LkSG obliges companies to conduct a regular risk analysis for their own business and all direct suppliers and a risk analysis for indirect suppliers in case of incidents or suspicions. Furthermore, companies need to set up a risk management system to prevent risks in the supply chain to occur, and if they do, to take preventive and corrective measures. The law requires to introduce a complaints system through which whistleblowers can report human rights violations anonymously or under a pseudonym. All activities must be documented and reported.
If the requirements are not met, companies could face fines of up to 800,000 EUR, companies with a turnover of more than 400 million EUR even 2% of their global turnover. In addition, companies can be excluded from public procurement and suffer severe reputational damage.
We are monitoring the developments. As soon as the CSDDD is adopted, we will incorporate the requirements into the solution.
The solution automates as many steps as possible. In addition to the automatic abstract risk analysis, you have the option of having self-assessment questionnaires sent automatically to suppliers via customisable workflows. Other processes such as sending reminder emails or creating and assigning cases to follow-up upon, if risk score requires it, can also be automated.
