    Use case · Vendor Onboarding

    Make vendor onboarding easier with a structured business proof page.

    ShieldMark and the Business Proof Passport give vendors a structured way to present selected business information on a single SOFTRE-hosted page. Customers can review the verified domain, business identity and badge status in one place, instead of waiting on back-and-forth email exchanges.

    The problem

    Vendors often repeat the same basic information requests across customers and partners — company registration details, GSTIN, PAN, authorised representative, website ownership and basic governance. The same evidence is sent over email again and again, in inconsistent formats.

    How SOFTRE helps

    ShieldMark and the Business Proof Passport give vendors a structured way to present selected business information on a single SOFTRE-hosted page. Customers can review the verified domain, business identity and badge status in one place, instead of waiting on back-and-forth email exchanges.

    What ShieldMark shows

    • Verified business name and domain
    • Badge type and status
    • Authorised representative attestation on file
    • Issued-on and last-reviewed dates
    • Public link that customers can save in their vendor file

    What ShieldMark does not show

    • Not a vendor approval by SOFTRE
    • Not a compliance certification
    • Not a creditworthiness assessment
    • Not a substitute for the customer's own due-diligence checklist
    • Not a guarantee of contract performance

    Example workflow

    1. 1
      Vendor applies for ShieldMark
      Submits business and domain details with authorised representative confirmation.
    2. 2
      Domain ownership reviewed
      SOFTRE verifies the vendor controls the stated website domain.
    3. 3
      Business Proof Passport published
      A public verification page is created for the vendor's domain.
    4. 4
      Vendor shares the page link
      Sent to corporate customers as part of the onboarding response.
    5. 5
      Customer reviews in one place
      Customer reviews verified identity, badge type and status without chasing documents.

    The Business Proof Passport supports a customer's own due-diligence process. It does not replace the customer's vendor approval workflow, contractual checks or risk assessment.

    Ready to start?

    Apply for SOFTRE ShieldMark and add a live verification badge to your website footer.

    ShieldMark confirms only the verification scope shown on the applicable verification page. It is not a credit score, credit rating, legal opinion, financial opinion, investment recommendation, compliance guarantee or government verification.
