[Irvine, CA, United States] — SupplierGateway today announced the expansion of their Enhanced Digital Certification (EDC), a global verification standard designed to unlock supply chain credibility, reduce friction for suppliers, and help buyers worldwide onboard vetted partners with confidence. Available in 188 countries, SupplierGateway’s EDC offers suppliers – from small and mid-sized businesses to local vendors – an affordable, streamlined path to demonstrate compliance, risk readiness, and operational integrity.
Key Features & Benefits
- Comprehensive Verification Across 25+ Critical Data Points: covering legal standing, financial health, cybersecurity readiness, government checks and regulatory compliance.
- Fast, Affordable, Inclusive Onboarding: The application takes less than 15 minutes; certification is typically issued within 24 – 72 hours; pricing designed to be accessible for businesses of all sizes.
- Global Recognition & Buyer Trust: EDC signals that suppliers are not only operationally ready, but also risk-aware, compliant, and competitive – opening doors to procurement opportunities with leading corporations across industries.
Who Should Certify
EDC is particularly valuable for:
- Small and medium businesses seeking entrance into enterprise procurement channels.
- Local suppliers ready to scale globally.
- Vendors wanting/needing to reduce paperwork and improve their visibility.
- Companies aiming to proactively demonstrate responsible sourcing, compliance and risk mitigation.
Messages from Leadership
“In today’s interconnected global economy, trust and transparency are more than buzzwords – they are essential currencies,” said Michael Cardinal, CEO of SupplierGateway. “With EDC, our aim is simple: to lift barriers for capable suppliers everywhere. Whether you’re operating in a major city or a remote region, you deserve to be seen, verified, and matched with buyers who value both your integrity and your potential.
“We built EDC to be much more than a certification,” Mr. Cardinal added. “It’s a bridge – between promise and opportunity, between capability and recognition. My hope is that every supplier, regardless of size or location, feels empowered rather than overwhelmed when applying. And that buyers know, unequivocally, that when they engage with an EDC-verified partner, they are working with someone who has earned genuine credibility.”
How to Get Certified
- Complete the EDC application via the SupplierGateway portal – it’s a 15 minute process.
- Prepare standard documents such as photo ID, proof of business ownership.
- Submit your verification process – globally recognized checks are conducted behind the scenes.
- Receive your certification – generally within 24 – 72 hours. Once certified, you are more visible to global buyers, and your compliance status shows up in procurement systems.
