Leading US utilities company sees significant improvements to supplier management

“Avetta’s solutions streamlined our supplier management processes, simplified insurance compliance and gave us deep insights into supplier risks – transforming the way we manage contractors.”

– Health and Safety Manager, Leading US Utilities Company

A leading US utilities company partnered with Avetta to digitise supplier management, streamline insurance compliance and integrate ESG metrics, gaining better visibility and control over contractor risk.

The challenge

The client provides reliable and affordable energy to customers across the western and central USA, serving more than 730,000 residential and business customers.

The company identified inefficiencies in its supplier management programme. Manual processes for pre-qualification, risk assessment and compliance created significant challenges:

  • Mapping requirements against multiple master agreements and risk matrices
  • Managing insurance compliance, particularly for small, rural contractors
  • Transitioning from paper-based pre-qualification to a digital process
  • Collecting and integrating ESG data into supplier evaluations

At the time, the labour-intensive reviews placed a heavy administrative burden on both internal teams and suppliers.


The solution


After evaluating multiple vendors, the client selected Avetta One to streamline its contractor management programme. Change management was emphasised as the most critical success factor, and the client hosted eight internal town-hall meetings to align functional teams.

Avetta’s solutions included:

  • Universal insurance questionnaire standardising insurance compliance for 80% of suppliers, with the remainder undergoing detailed reviews
  • Manual safety audits providing insights into supplier safety culture and performance
  • ESG data collection from suppliers to assess maturity levels and support community engagement and diversity initiatives


The results


By partnering with Avetta, the company completely overhauled its approach to managing suppliers, shifting from manual pre-qualification to a digital process.

Avetta also enabled deep insights into supplier risks. These insights led to data-driven conversations with suppliers, which ultimately led to working much better with them to make sure everyone gets home safely.

Moving forward, the company seeks to expand its use of Avetta and is in the process of deepening its due diligence around suppliers’ financial and legal risks.
