Case Study: Ashcroft, Inc. achieves 82% supplier response and saves 2,000 work hours with Assent Compliance Platform

Ashcroft, Inc. - Customer Case Study

Ashcroft, Inc., a 160-year-old instrumentation manufacturer, faced growing complexity across its global supply chain and mounting regulatory requirements (Conflict Minerals, REACH, RoHS). Manual compliance processes left one engineer spending months compiling Conflict Minerals Reporting Templates and the team devoting roughly 40 hours a week to compliance, with low supplier responsiveness and high risk from manual data entry.

Assent implemented its Assent Compliance Platform — including the Campaign Manager and Supplier Portal with 24/7 multilingual support — to automate outreach, data collection and reporting. As a result, Assent helped Ashcroft, Inc. engage 416 suppliers, achieve an 82% response rate, collect 200,000+ unique bills of materials and save 2,000 work hours, enabling faster time‑to‑market and the ability to certify product families rather than handling customer requests ad hoc.
