Supplier vetting & procurement
Stop chasing paperwork. Vet any supplier in seconds.
Replace manual admin with a single VAT lookup, instantly querying live financial, legal, and safety registries, and keeping your supply chain continuously monitored.
How it works
Three steps to complete supplier risk automation
One identifier triggers your entire compliance stack, keeping your vendor database audit-ready without manual admin.
- Step 1
Input a VAT number
Enter the one identifier you already have. No emailing vendors, chasing certificates, or manual data entry to get started.
- Step 2
Automated checks run instantly
9ID instantly cross-references official databases to verify UBO ownership, VCA & ISO certifications, tax/social debt, credit risk, and sanction watchlists.
- Step 3
Continuous risk monitoring takes over
Compliance statuses update automatically in the background. Your procurement team only gets notified if a document expires, debt occurs, or risk status changes.
Time saved
It's not faster admin. It's the manual admin you didn't have to do.
Checking a vendor across 7 separate government and commercial databases takes 35 minutes of tedious admin. 9ID turns that into a single, instant lookup.

What you can automate
Automate every company check procurement needs
Sign up and your Supplier Vetting blueprint is ready. VAT, VCA, ISO, UBO, credit, social / fiscal debt, and watchlist come configured, so you only add deeper checks when your policy requires them.
-
VAT Database Check
Validate the VAT number against live registries. One identifier resolves the company and starts every other check.
-
VCA Database Check
Confirm VCA status against database sources so safety credentials aren't a static PDF guess.
-
ISO Database Check
Verify ISO certificates against live databases instead of trusting an uploaded scan.
-
UBO Database Check
Confirm ultimate beneficial ownership so you know who stands behind the company.
-
Credit Database Check
Surface credit risk before a supplier is locked into the commercial system.
-
Social / Fiscal Debt Check
Flag social or fiscal debt signals early, before they become a procurement problem.
-
Watchlist Database Check
Screen suppliers against sanction and enforcement watchlists, and keep those checks running after onboarding.
-
Continuous monitoring
Every check keeps running after onboarding, so a status change reaches you instead of waiting for the next review.
-
Audit-ready records
Each check leaves a timestamped record, so supplier reviews and audits don't turn into a document hunt.

Get StartedFAQs
Discover answers to common questions
about 9ID's AI security agent.
What does 9ID automate for supplier vetting?
The Supplier Vetting Blueprint runs company database checks purchasing and procurement usually handle by hand: VAT, VCA, ISO, UBO, credit, social / fiscal debt, and watchlist. Enter a VAT number to start; 9ID validates it, runs the rest of the checks, and keeps the supplier monitored.
Is this the same as the company checks on pricing?
Yes. The blueprint matches 9ID's company checks on pricing (VAT, VCA, ISO, UBO, credit, social / fiscal debt, and watchlist), packaged for a supplier-vetting workflow.
How much time does it actually save?
Manually, each company check typically takes about five minutes. The seven blueprint checks already add up to roughly 35 minutes per supplier, before chasing missing documents. With 9ID those checks run when the supplier is added, so the comparison is manual minutes vs. automatic verification, with your team only reviewing flags.
What do we need to get started?
A VAT number is enough to start. 9ID looks up and runs the configured company checks from there. You can deepen the profile later with certificates and acknowledgements as your policy requires.
Are suppliers monitored after the first check?
Yes. Continuous monitoring keeps legal, tax, ownership, and watchlist statuses updating in the background, so a supplier that was fine at onboarding can still surface risk later.
How is our data handled?
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based, and every action is logged. 9ID is GDPR-compliant and certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 27701, and a Data Processing Agreement is available as part of onboarding.
Is the record good enough for an audit or supplier review?
Yes. Every supplier check leaves a timestamped record of what was verified, against which sources, and when, exportable for internal reviews and external audits.
