ProTenCon is a risk management platform for procurement, compliance, and finance teams monitoring suppliers and value chains. It tracks risk across finance, credit, media, legal, ownership, compliance, reputation, human rights, environmental, political, labor, health and safety, and other domains. The company says its continuous surveillance combines more than 200 data points for alerts and highlighted indicators. Its standard system detects and reports risk events, assigns scores and alarm levels, and can connect to an ERP. AI agents can draft compliance reports using a selected protocol, which customers can supplement with internal risk information and comments. Options include a system-to-system data enrichment service, a limited SME edition, supplier control objects, and an internal risk system. The SME edition is described for companies with fewer than 100 suppliers and around 20–30 critical control objects. The API can retrieve and update supplier data from named ERP systems. Pricing is available on request; the platform is offered through web and API. Its headquarters are in Lier, Norway.
