Case Study: Storm Resources achieves future-proof supplier management and compliance with Avetta

Storm Resources Enriching and Future-Proofing Supplier Management Systems for an Oil & Gas Client

Storm Resources, an oil and gas exploration and development company headquartered in Calgary, faced unreliable, “stale” supplier data—between 2008–2012 fully 50% of supplier compliance and operational records weren’t being updated—and struggled with complex provincial WCB industry coding for audits. Storm sought a supplier management partner to handle prequalification, compliance and supplier oversight without taking over their business. They engaged Avetta and its SaaS offerings, including Avetta Connect and Avetta’s Supplier Prequalification solution, to address these gaps.

Avetta implemented a tailored prequalification process and the Avetta Connect application to capture up-to-date supplier insights, integrate COR and regional audit protocols, simplify WCB coding via segmented, form-based categorization, and centralize insurance monitoring. Avetta also narrowed Storm’s supplier list to active members, handled refunds for non‑qualifying suppliers, and provided local Canadian support—delivering a simpler, future‑proof supplier management platform with clearer visibility and faster reevaluation of suppliers. As part of Avetta’s network benefits, their audit and verification services are shown to lower supplier safety incident rates by 29%, reflecting the measurable safety and compliance improvements Avetta brings.
