Chas Ballew, co-founder of the vendor startup Conveyor, wants to change that with the power of advanced artificial intelligence. Ballew realized there were big inefficiencies in security and compliance reviews during his time at Aptible. Today, he’s harnessing technology to accelerate and enhance these critical processes.
Ballew federally co-founded Aptible in 2013, and then set the terms for how it should be run as the company faced staggering growth. He found that vendor security and compliance reviews became long and complicated. This delay hampered businesses’ ability to effectively oversee all their vendor partnerships. This understanding propelled him to leave Aptible in 2021. He went on to found Conveyor, a tech startup dedicated to speeding up the painful, long customer security approval processes.
Conveyor understands that vendor security reviews can be complex and time-consuming, so we help automate the most tedious parts of these evaluations. The commercial real-estate company prides itself on making sure their customer data is safe every step of the way. And yet, Ballew says, security is the key thing to getting right in this context, as follows.
“We keep everything very secure, very isolated for each customer, which is very important.”
This emphasis on data security aligns perfectly with the priorities of businesses that store sensitive data. Ballew further noted,
“Companies want to make sure that their confidential data is only used to process their information and it’s not exposed or mixed in with anyone else’s data.”
Such statements highlight the increasing need for platforms that focus on security without compromising on streamlined vendor management.
With Conveyor’s AI-powered technology, businesses improve their security posture while speeding up vendor approval workflows. This innovation gives firms the ability to manage years-long permitting processes. In doing so, it strengthens their collaborations with service providers.
Businesses are becoming hyper-aware, wanting to have the strongest security protocols imaginable. In this dynamic environment, Conveyor is a powerful partner to have in your vendor management corner. Automating the Future Ballew’s own startup, Cultivo, is all about automation and security. To keep pace with the evolving needs of institutions looking to simplify and standardize their vendor security processes.
