Ontario’s most advanced vendor compliance solution

Smart Vendor Screening. Zero Risk. Maximum Return.

Smart Vendor Screening.

3A Consulting Inc. has developed the industry’s most streamlined and secure solution for the complex, high-risk task of vendor compliance management. Unlike many vendor search platforms that treat compliance as an afterthought, our service ensures that every vendor you engage is continuously vetted for valid licensure, up-to-date insurance coverage, WSIB certification, and any additional credentials required by their trade. By integrating this rigorous quality control framework into a seamless operating system, we deliver greater efficiency, significant cost savings, and expanded opportunities for both our clients and their vendors. Additionally, our state-of-the-art rating system enables you to select the most cost-effective, highest quality, and time-efficient vendors for your projects.

Why You Need Vendor Screening

Through long-standing partnerships with property managers, insurers, realtors, and homeowners across Ontario, we understand the critical importance of vendor verification. Overlooking compliance can have costly repercussions. If an uninsured or underinsured vendor causes damage, the condominium corporation or general contractor may be forced to file a claim under its own policy, driving premiums upward and incurring deductible costs. In extreme cases, management firms or the general contractor risk losing clients, damaging their reputation, or facing litigation for breach of contract.

Mitigate these risks and safeguard your firm’s reputation by ensuring that only vendors meeting your standards work on your properties. Our Risk Management Division monitors insurance policies and WSIB coverage on a rolling 12-month cycle, designs customized risk mitigation programs for your vendor portfolio, and conducts comprehensive compliance audits. Most of this verification is performed directly by our expert staff, reducing the administrative burden on your team and protecting your company from liability. We also maintain an actively curated network of qualified vendors, so that whenever you require specialized trades, you have immediate access to partners who meet or exceed your exacting requirements.
