What Informed 365 does

Informed 365 is a privately held Australian B2B SaaS company headquartered in Currumbin Valley, Queensland, that provides an integrated platform for managing ESG data and Modern Slavery compliance reporting. Founded by former investment banker Nicholas Bernhardt, the platform is built around three functional pillars: Collect & Integrate (onboarding suppliers through structured self-assessment questionnaires with conditional logic, and connecting third-party intelligence from Dow Jones, Dun & Bradstreet, and Sedex via configurable APIs), Assess & Manage (configurable weighted risk-scoring models that combine SAQ responses, inherent country/industry risk, and external intelligence), and Report & Improve (regulator-ready Modern Slavery and ESG reports with evidence trails, Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions tracking, and interactive dashboards for procurement, risk, and leadership stakeholders). The core platform is complemented by a dedicated Aotearoa Against Modern Slavery (AAMS) Platform for New Zealand organizations and an Emissions Module for carbon accounting.

The company's distinctive strategic posture is a sector-collaboration model in which a shared platform instance is deployed across multiple competing enterprises within a single vertical — most notably the Water Utilities Sector Platform (launched 2023 with the Water Services Association of Australia, covering Sydney Water, Melbourne Water, Seqwater, Barwon Water, Urban Utilities, Unitywater, and South East Water) and the Property Council of Australia Supplier Platform (launched 2020). This consortium approach pools supplier SAQ data across competitors and drives network effects in supplier participation. Named enterprise customers span property (Mirvac, Stockland, Charter Hall, GPT Group, Scentre Group), retail (Coles, Michael Hill), professional services (KPMG, Aurecon), water utilities, energy (AusNet, Energy Queensland), healthcare/insurance (nib, HBF), agriculture (Nutrien, Saputo), education (Griffith University), and nonprofit (Australian Red Cross) sectors.

Revenue is generated through enterprise SaaS subscriptions with quote-based pricing on an annual billing cadence, sold via a consultative demo-driven direct sales motion and complemented by advisory partner channels (Integral GRC, SEAOAK Consulting, Orka Advisory, Living Future Institute of Australia). The company claims to serve over 3,000 Australian companies required to report under the Modern Slavery Act, with thousands of suppliers completing SAQs annually and millions of mapped data points across the Water Utilities platform alone. The company has no disclosed institutional funding — its only recorded capital event is an angel investment from Andrew Banks in 2019 — and operates with a headcount of 11-50.

Core offering

Informed 365 provides a unified SaaS platform that enables organizations to collect, assess, and report on ESG and supplier risk, with a primary focus on Modern Slavery Act compliance. The platform onboards suppliers via configurable self-assessment questionnaires, centralizes ESG and supply chain data into a single source of truth, applies weighted risk-scoring models augmented by third-party intelligence from Dow Jones, Dun & Bradstreet, and Sedex, and produces regulator-ready Modern Slavery and emissions (Scope 1, 2, 3) reports with full evidence trails.

Product overview

Informed 365 offers a unified SaaS platform for ESG and Modern Slavery compliance management. The core platform consists of six interconnected modules: Modern Slavery Reporting Software, ESG & Business Intelligence, Risk Assessment & Governance, Single Source of Truth, and Emissions Module. Additionally, the AAMS Platform serves New Zealand organizations. The platform operates through three core functions: Collect & Integrate (onboarding suppliers with structured SAQs, connecting third-party intelligence from Dow Jones, Dun & Bradstreet, and Sedex), Assess & Manage (automatic risk scoring using configurable weighted models), and Report & Improve (generating regulator-ready reports with full evidence trails). Industry-specific platforms include the Water Utilities Sector Platform and Property Council of Australia Supplier Platform, which enable sector-wide collaboration with shared questionnaires and benchmarking.

• Resilinc: Supply-chain risk and resilience platform including ESG and modern-slavery risk monitoring. Comparable emerging player in multi-tier supply-chain visibility and supplier risk scoring.

Direct peers

• EcoVadis: Global SaaS platform for supplier sustainability ratings and ESG assessments. Direct competitor to Informed 365's supplier SAQ and risk-scoring workflow, serving large enterprise procurement teams with similar value proposition.
