Supply chain act software: vendor portal and catalog for LkSG and CSDDD
LkSG and CSDDD – implemented pragmatically in procurement
Vendor portal for onboarding, questionnaires, self-declarations, and evidence. Catalog with hazardous-material and compliance attributes. One platform, fewer silos.
You need to embed LkSG (German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act) 2023/2024 and the EU CSDDD directive into procurement processes in a workable way. Ovenca makes compliance part of day-to-day procurement – instead of an isolated side project.
Supply chain due diligence is daily procurement – not just a compliance task
From 2024, companies with more than 1,000 employees fall under the German LkSG. The EU CSDDD (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive) will widen the circle further. Managing due diligence in Excel and email threads costs speed, traceability, and audit readiness. Ovenca anchors due diligence in operational procurement – through vendor portal, catalog, and admin governance.
How Ovenca makes LkSG and CSDDD workable
No compliance island. Due diligence becomes part of the workflows procurement already uses every day.
Vendor portal with onboarding workflows
Structured onboarding with LkSG questionnaires, self-declarations, certificates, and risk queries – including versioning and evidence management.
- Configurable questionnaires per risk category
- Upload and versioning of evidence
- Automated reminders and escalations
- Audit-safe trail of all changes
Catalog with compliance metadata
Hazardous-material labeling (GHS), country of origin, REACH relevance, conflict minerals – as structured attributes directly on the article.
- GHS pictograms and phrases
- REACH and RoHS labeling
- Origin evidence per article
- Automated filtering in the approval process
Risk-based approval processes
Workflows that combine risk category, order value, and vendor rating – with clear escalation paths.
- Role-based approvals
- Thresholds per category
- Four-eyes principle for risk vendors
- Justifications archived traceably
Reporting and audit
Structured reports for internal audit and external assurance – filterable by vendor, category, country, risk class.
- Pre-built LkSG reports
- Export for external auditors
- Historized compliance states
- Interfaces to GRC tools

Adjustable to your policies
Risk categories, questionnaires, thresholds, and escalations are configurable – no code changes required.
