Dun & Bradstreet South Asia, Middle East and Africa (D&B SAME) is set to launch Partn-R, an upgraded version of its vendor onboarding platform, Vend-R, as the global data and analytics firm seeks to help businesses strengthen third-party risk management and compliance.
The new platform expands beyond vendor onboarding to provide organisations with a single system for managing a broader network of third-party relationships, including suppliers, contractors and other business partners.
According to a statement by the company, Partn-R introduces new automation and verification tools, including AI-assisted onboarding, customisable Know Your Customer (KYC) questionnaires, real-time monitoring dashboards and access to a marketplace of pre-verified vendors.
Future updates will also incorporate compliance screening features covering Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), sanctions lists, watchlists and adverse media checks, aimed at helping companies meet increasingly stringent regulatory and due diligence requirements.
