What VERISIO does

VERISIO is a UK-headquartered ESG supply chain risk management company that helps enterprise and mid-market buyers verify social, environmental, and quality compliance across global supply chains spanning 67+ countries. The company's core offering is the proprietary Optimus SaaS platform, which provides real-time dashboards, interactive Tier 1+ supply chain mapping, audit health monitoring, corrective action plan management, and customizable reporting with up to 20 custom fields per client. Verisio supplements the platform with a full stack of human-led professional services — Evaluate Foundation Audits, SMETA audits, Service Provider audits, Verify unannounced verifications, Investigate specialist investigations, desktop risk assessments, and traceability solutions for cotton and timber — delivered by APSCA-certified auditors.

The business model blends recurring SaaS subscriptions with professional services revenue. Subscription packages are tiered (Insight from £149/supplier/year, Advance from £195/factory/year, Lead from £295/factory/year) with annual billing and minimum supplier commitments; audits are priced per day plus professional fees (e.g., Evaluate from £750, SMETA from £885, Verify from £950). Verisio sells directly through a consultative sales-led motion without channel partners, targeting enterprise and mid-market buyers across six primary verticals: Retail and Supply Chain, Construction and Building Products, Packaging and Printing, Goods Not for Resale, Agriculture and Fisheries, and Hospitality/Leisure/Care. Operations are run from three regional hubs — Peterborough (UK HQ), Hong Kong (China/Vietnam/Indonesia), and Noida (India/South Asia) — supported by local field teams. The company is founder/management-owned, privately held, and bootstrapped, with no disclosed funding rounds to date.
