A Assent Case Study
Prestolite, a global manufacturer of alternators, starters and electrical equipment, struggled with mounting regulatory demands that turned compliance into a part‑time job for an already busy employee. Unable to add headcount, Prestolite turned to Assent for a supply chain sustainability management solution covering Conflict Minerals, REACH, RoHS, PFAS identification and the EU WFD to help manage supplier engagement and regulatory updates.
Assent implemented a centralized compliance database, automated outreach to suppliers, REACH/RoHS disclosure creation, responsible sourcing expertise and supplier engagement services, dramatically improving results: conflict minerals data coverage rose from 12% to 75% after switching to Assent. Assent’s combination of software and services enabled Prestolite to better handle surging customer compliance inquiries and protect revenue by making compliance data accessible and actionable.
