Mining firms, manufacturers and traders often require suppliers to provide detailed operational evidence, while compliance staff must investigate ownership structures and screen against sanctions or other financial crime risks.
Traditionally, these processes occur separately, which can lead to duplicate information requests and increased administrative effort.
beSirius uses AI to evaluate supplier and operational evidence against industry standards and specific company requirements.
The system highlights compliance gaps, generates source-referenced assessments, and tracks corrective actions, supporting certification and ongoing assurance.
By allowing companies to reuse existing evidence, beSirius aims to reduce manual workloads in supplier reviews.
beSirius founder and chief commercial officer Sergey Tyan said: “Companies often have the documents they need, but finding them and checking them against another set of requirements takes time and money.
“beSirius uses that existing evidence to prepare assessments that teams can review. Vivox AI brings financial crime expertise to the same supplier questions, including ownership and sanctions risk.”
Vivox AI provides explainable AI agents designed for financial crime compliance in complex settings.
The technology analyses sanctions alerts, investigates ownership structures, and reviews adverse media to identify individuals who control supplier businesses.
The system keeps a detailed audit trail to support transparency and helps compliance teams address possible false positives, which can otherwise require significant manual research.
The integration enables procurement and compliance teams to review both supplier assurance documentation and financial crime findings in a single process before making decisions.
The partnership targets organisations involved throughout the metals and minerals supply chain, including mining, refining, trading, and manufacturing.
