The most important aspect of staying in compliance is selecting the right vendor. Your vendors have to provide quality service, on time and be fully approved for the specific task at hand. Unfortunately, the choice isn’t always simple.
One of the first questions operators ask about a vendor is, are they good? Are they a good fit for the job? Veriforce subscribers with drug & alcohol and safety programs have complete access to the standard vendor report in the VeriSource system. It provides an additional tool to manage vendor selection using the vendor report summary. It indicates if the vendor is already approved for safety, OQ and drug & alcohol and can also be sorted by task.
When an operator client needs to register additional vendors, Veriforce provides a contractor initiation form that starts the process. Veriforce will complete the initial screening of the candidate and provide you with the option to approve or disapprove a vendor based on their responses. When the vendor approval process is complete, Veriforce will then store all the information for future reference to be shared with current and potential operator clients seeking additional vendors.
Veriforce helps you contact vendor, gather the data, and complete the registration process. We will then help you stay in compliance through an automated re-registration process for vendors to complete 60 days before their approval status expires.
To find out how the vendor selection service can improve your bottom line, email us at customerservice@veriforce.com.
"I looked at Veriforce and 3 or 4 other OQ providers and Veriforce was the only turn-key provider. They could handle the entire OQ process. Plus, Veriforce understands that each Operator runs things a little differently. They are not OQ in a box and provide OQ services that work with the way your business runs."
