2/3 of US companies do not know who they do business with overseas, causing production delays, compliance risks and lost revenues. VERTRU enables rigorous supply chain visibility and trust across operational, workforce and environmental impacts in minutes not months enabled by AI. By combining millions of data points uniquely extracted from vast unstructured public and private sources, VERTRU fills business-critical information gaps through automated data collection in near real-time.
