Vendor Compliance Software for Maritime Operators

The vendor you onboarded in March is not the vendor you are working with in October. Licenses lapse, sanctions lists update weekly, safety records shift. Base is vendor compliance software that re-checks every vendor on your cadence and alerts you the moment something changes.

Re-checks on your cadence · alerts when state changes

Compliance lives in spreadsheets until a vendor fails an audit.

The first check cleared. Then nothing happened for six months. When the audit came, your team scrambled to re-verify 40 vendors in a week, pulling spreadsheets, forwarded emails, and PDF scans from every corner.

"When was the last time we ran these checks??"
01

License expirations nobody tracks.

The vendor’s carrier authority lapsed 90 days ago. Your team learned from the auditor, not the system.

02

Sanctions lists update every week.

A vendor on your active roster was added to a consolidated screening list last Thursday. You missed it.

03

Re-screening is a calendar reminder.

Somewhere in someone’s Outlook. Nobody pulls the report until the audit week lands on the calendar.

04

Audit exports take three days to assemble.

Pulling every dossier, every check date, every approval trail by hand is the worst week of the quarter.

The vendor compliance lifecycle in Base.

1

Onboard and check

The initial due diligence check runs when the vendor is added. Baseline dossier attached to the vendor record inside your job.

2

Schedule re-checks on your cadence

Weekly, monthly, quarterly, or per-engagement. Configure the cadence per client, per risk tier, or per vendor type. The schedule runs itself.

3

Alert on change

New sanctions match, license expiry, or safety incident. Watchers notified the moment the state changes, not when the audit arrives.

4

Export for audit

One-click export covering every check, every flag, every approval. Audit-ready in minutes instead of three days of assembly work.

One dashboard for every vendor's compliance state.

Every vendor on your roster with their compliance status, last check date, next scheduled re-check, and any open flags. Filter by risk tier, client, or job type. Export any view for audit. Feeds your invoice approval workflow and cross-links to Base Connect, QuickBooks, and Xero.

What compliance teams ask before rolling it out.

"We already checked our vendors when we onboarded them."

A one-time check expires the moment a license lapses or a new sanctions list update lands. Ongoing compliance is continuous, not a one-time event. Base runs the same initial check on a schedule you control, and alerts you when anything shifts.

"Our compliance team runs its own re-screening process."

Base extends what your team already does. The platform handles the cadence, the alerts, and the export. Your analysts focus on the flags that actually need a human, not on pulling spreadsheets every quarter.

"We are not in a high-risk jurisdiction."

Risk tier is the wrong filter. The audit happens either way. A principal who can show every vendor’s compliance state on one screen survives the audit in two hours. A principal who can’t spends a week rebuilding records.

"How much time does this actually save?"

Compliance teams using Base typically cut audit preparation time from 3 days to 2 hours. The dashboard is always current, the exports are always ready, and the alert trail covers every state change for the life of the vendor record.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vendor compliance software is the ongoing system that tracks whether every vendor on your roster still meets your compliance requirements after onboarding: sanctions status, licensing validity, safety records, and any change in legal or operational standing. Unlike a one-time due diligence check, vendor compliance software runs on a schedule you configure, alerts your team the moment anything changes, and produces audit-ready exports on demand.
Base runs an initial dossier when the vendor is added (same check as the due diligence workflow), then schedules re-checks on your chosen cadence: weekly, monthly, quarterly, or per-engagement. When the re-check surfaces a new sanctions match, an expired license, or a safety incident, watchers are notified automatically. Every check and every flag live in the vendor record for audit export.
Vendor due diligence is the one-time check before you engage a vendor: a complete dossier pulled once, reviewed once, and saved to the record. Vendor compliance is everything that happens after: the re-checks, the alerts, the audit trail over the life of the engagement. You start with the due diligence check; compliance tracking keeps that baseline current.
Whatever cadence you configure. High-risk vendors can re-check weekly. Low-risk recurring vendors might re-check quarterly. Project-scoped vendors can re-check per engagement. The cadence is per-vendor, per-tier, or per-client, whichever fits your compliance policy.
The vendor is flagged in the dashboard, the assigned watchers are notified, and the existing jobs with that vendor surface a warning so your ops team sees it before the next charge is created. The reviewer decides whether to accept the flag, reject the vendor, or suspend the engagement pending review. Every decision and reason lives in the audit trail.
Yes. Every vendor dossier, every check, and every flag exports to an audit-ready file in one click. The export covers check dates, data snapshots, flag history, and reviewer signoff. Most teams run the export the morning of the audit and hand it over the same day.
For a standard rollout covering your active vendor list, a few hours. You import the vendor list, configure the re-screening cadence, and invite your compliance team as watchers. Most clients run their first real re-check within week one and produce their first audit export in week two.
