"Great tool for quick and easy vetting of vendors"

What do you like best about Descartes Denied Party Screening?

The platform is extremely easy to use and there many different search options for exact matches or fuzzy search which allows you to search for nicknames or similar names.

It helps us prove our due diligence and vetting of vendors to ensure we are not working with any restricted vendors. The platform has really streamlined operations since we only have to search one database instead of multiple to comply with vetting requirements.
