LEHI, Utah and HOUSTON – January 21, 2026 - Avetta®, the leading provider of supply chain risk management (SCRM) software, and Graphite Connect, the only patented supplier management network, today announced a new strategic partnership. The collaboration provides global enterprises with a unified solution that fundamentally solves the historical tradeoff between fast vendor onboarding and comprehensive contractor and supplier risk management.
The integrated offering brings together Graphite Connect’s rapid onboarding and high-quality supplier data with Avetta’s robust, continuous contractor and supplier prequalification and risk mitigation. It keeps critical risk data synchronized across core systems—including SAP, Oracle, NetSuite and other ERP platforms—creating a single, cohesive workflow. The result is faster enrollment and a supply chain where every participant is continuously verified, compliant and ready to work.
“Global enterprises can no longer afford to choose between speed and security,” said Jon Bovit, Vice President of Ecosystem and Partners at Graphite Connect. “Our platform delivers instant identity verification and fraud prevention, ensuring that a supplier’s foundational financial data is pristine and secure from day one. By partnering with Avetta, we act as the connective data layer, guaranteeing that once a supplier is verified by Graphite Connect, their profile information and compliance status are automatically synchronized across all client systems.”
This unified data approach elevates the supplier lifecycle into a fully integrated, strategic process connecting onboarding, compliance and risk intelligence into a single, consistent experience across systems.
“This partnership is a game-changer because we’re advancing three of the most critical elements of the supplier lifecycle: onboarding, risk management and data unification,” added Scott Spencer, Senior Vice President of Strategic Sales and Alliances at Avetta. “Together, Graphite Connect and Avetta are giving our joint customers the best of both worlds—unprecedented speed to value and comprehensive, always-on risk intelligence that is automatically integrated across their core systems.”
Delivering Fast, Secure and Holistic Risk Intelligence
The joint solution provides key operational benefits for procurement, finance and risk teams across industries, including:
- Accelerated onboarding without sacrificing security: Graphite Connect’s patented network and automations streamline the initial steps of vendor data collection and identity validation, allowing procurement teams to shorten their onboarding cycle, increasing supplier coverage within the Avetta community and driving greater operational safety performance.
- Know Your Supplier fraud mitigation: Graphite Connect employs two-factor authentication, ID verification and dual-authorization protocols to prevent bank change fraud and ensure the integrity of critical financial data gathered during the Avetta prequalification process before it ever reaches the ERP.
- ERP enhancement and data unification: The partnership enables seamless synchronization of Avetta’s real-time contractor compliance scores and statuses directly into hiring clients’ internal ERP and P2P systems.
