How Origin Works
Origin connects the data, workflows and tools needed to manage supply chain due diligence, helping teams identify risks, investigate where it matters, take action and demonstrate what has been done.
Bring supplier, facility and supply chain data together through registration, imports and integrations with existing systems.
Build an initial risk picture using country and sector indicators, materiality, sanctions screening and other relevant data.
Focus due diligence where it’s needed, gathering additional evidence based on supplier attributes and identified risks.
Turn evidence into insight by evaluating findings, applying scoring frameworks and identifying where action is needed.
Respond to identified risks through follow-up, further evidence, corrective actions, remediation and onsite audits, updating the risk profile as new evidence emerges.
Bring risk, evidence and actions together to provide clear, auditable reporting across the due diligence process.
Origin supports integration with internal enterprise systems and third-party platforms through secure APIs and structured data imports and exports, including Excel and CSV files. Integrations can be configured to exchange supplier information, risk data, assessments and other relevant records, with tailored solutions developed to meet specific business requirements.
Origin provides a dedicated supplier portal that supports communication, information sharing and collaboration throughout the due diligence process. Automated email notifications and supplier dashboards keep suppliers informed of requests and required actions, while structured improvement plans enable teams to collaborate on corrective actions and track progress. A dedicated resource centre and learning modules provide suppliers with access to relevant guidance, standards, training and educational content tailored to their needs.
Origin provides configurable dashboards, reports and data views that give teams visibility of supplier performance, risk ratings, assessments, audits and corrective actions. Dashboards help monitor activities, identify trends and track progress, while filterable and exportable data views support further analysis and reporting. Reporting can be configured to align with relevant regulatory requirements and reporting frameworks, helping organisations demonstrate due diligence, support compliance and monitor improvements across their supply chains.
Origin provides onboarding, training and ongoing support to help clients get the most from the platform. Each client has a dedicated account manager, supported by regular catch-ups, training sessions and guidance on new features and developments. Our UK-based product and support teams work closely with clients to resolve queries, provide practical advice and ensure they continue to get the maximum value from Origin as their needs evolve.
Origin uses configurable risk models that combine multiple data sources, risk indicators and assessment results to evaluate supply chain risk. Risk methodologies, scoring criteria and weightings can be tailored to reflect an organisation's specific requirements, industry and operating context. This enables teams to identify and prioritise risks across environmental, social, governance and other relevant dimensions, supporting a more targeted, risk-based approach to supply chain due diligence.
