Challenges Faced by Bartech Before Achilles
Before Bartech worked with Achilles, they faced hurdles in establishing their status on various supplier lists. This challenge hindered their ability to effectively showcase their strengths, especially regarding the nuclear industry.
The Achilles Solution
Achilles provided Bartech with an innovative approach, offering detailed data validation, desk and site audits, and worker interviews. This enabled Bartech to demonstrate superior ESG credentials and gain supply chain confidence from buyers.
Achilles enabled Bartech to consolidate the management of their supplier credentials in one place. With Achilles they were able to complete one comprehensive questionnaire to meet a wide range of buyer criteria.
Bartech benefited from having its supplier credentials independently verified by Achilles which provided greater buyer confidence. It enabled them to easily share the information shared as part of the Achilles process with potential new customers.
Bartech also chose to take the next step with Achilles, voluntarily undertaking an Achilles on site audit to show its commitment to quality and transparency and enhancing its profile further.
By simplifying the pre-qualification and tendering process, Bartech Marine saved significant time and resources. Completing one questionnaire and paying one fee gave them access to desired buyers, streamlining their business operations.
