Case Study: Leading Medical Device Company achieves full regulatory compliance (REACH, RoHS, Conflict Minerals) and $400K–$500K annual savings with Assent

Leading Medical Device Company - Customer Case Study

Leading Medical Device Company, a $1.5B firm with 1,678 suppliers, 43,527 parts and 24,920 products, faced a looming compliance burden from RoHS, REACH and conflict minerals rules while being essentially a compliance team of one (Bill Wheatley). To avoid building an internal solution and adding headcount, the company sought an external partner and selected Assent, using the Assent Compliance Platform combined with data services, turnkey data collection and regulatory expertise.

Assent implemented a centralized compliance platform, managed supplier outreach and data collection, and provided ongoing regulatory and technical support so Bill could access reports and part-level compliance data quickly. As a result, Assent eliminated the need for roughly six full-time staff, saved an estimated 10,000–12,000 working hours and $400K–$500K annually, and enabled the company to meet reporting requirements and maintain market access.
