Assent Compliance automates all these processes, gathers information from the supply chain, and reports/tracks the entire compliance portfolio. “At Assent we allow our clients to see and react ahead of the curve when it comes to product compliance,” states Matt Whitteker, Director of Marketing. Our consulting division helps organizations implement compliance programs that will scale and meet changing regulatory requirements by developing standard operating procedures, gap assessments and product line compliance planning,” says Whitteker.
