Verdantix Green Quadrant Report Highlights Leading Product Compliance Software Providers, As Cross-Functional Collaboration Becomes Critical For Market Expansion

London, UK. Organizations face growing regulatory and reputational pressures to ensure that products comply with stringent safety, sustainability, legal and corporate standards. This is driving closer collaboration across functions such as product compliance, EHS, sustainability, risk management and IT. Firms seeking to remain competitive, and looking to expand into new markets, must adopt proactive strategies and digital approaches, with manual processes and fragmented systems unable to keep pace with the increasing level of complexity and risk.

Buyers of product compliance software are prioritizing solutions that automate regulatory checks, streamline supplier engagement and enforce safety requirements, to safeguard business continuity and enable global growth. In a highly commoditized market, compliance software vendors are differentiating through AI integration, expanded regulatory coverage and industry-specific functionality. Buyer purchasing decisions are now shaped by provider reputation, sector relevance, peer adoption, growth strategy alignment and seamless integration with ERP systems. As a result, the focus has shifted towards uniting compliance and business strategy, to help firms navigate complex, cross-border regulatory landscapes with speed and confidence.

The Verdantix Green Quadrant: Product Compliance Software 2025 report provides product compliance, procurement, sustainability and EHS leaders with essential insights to help them select the best-fit provider for their requirements. The report delivers in-depth coverage of the 11 most prominent vendors operating in this complex market and highlights six firms – 3E, Assent, Benchmark Gensuite, SAP, Sphera and UL Solutions – demonstrating the most comprehensive and evolved solutions.

Key report findings:

• Firms are navigating a shifting regulatory landscape, contending with easing regulatory requirements in the US, but tighter standards across Europe. Expanding global operations are increasing the compliance burden on EHSQ professionals, highlighting the need for stronger integration between EHS and sustainability functions. Firms such as 3E and Source Intelligence provide granular regulatory coverage for businesses, to help compliance teams act proactively and develop pre-market strategies.

• AI is driving cross-functional compliance, with vendors leveraging the technology to unify sustainability, safety and product compliance functions. Benchmark Gensuite, SAP and Sphera are applying AI to targeted use cases such as data acquisition, supplier surveys and engagement, enabling more effective cross-departmental strategic planning.

• Compliance intelligence is accelerating, with modern platforms allowing firms to instantly flag non-compliant components, assess supplier risk using business-defined criteria and identify viable substitutions. Greater digitization is speeding compliance assessments and supplier queries, boosting responsiveness across global supply chains. Vendors such as Assent and Z2Data provide functionality suited to firms without dedicated compliance teams, enabling the rapid and efficient scaling of compliance programmes.

• Vendors are providing enhanced integrations with ERP, PLM and supplier management systems, enabling real-time data sharing and minimizing manual effort. IPOINT, for example, supports API connections to embed compliance insights directly into core business workflows.

“As product compliance regulations evolve across regions, firms face growing pressure to manage supplier risk and enforce safety, while aligning EHS and sustainability requirements on a global scale,” said Nathan Goldstein, Senior Manager at Verdantix. “Vendors that offer AI-driven insights, broad regulatory coverage and seamless integration across international operations are best-positioned to help organizations navigate the complex, cross-border compliance landscape and capture market growth.”
