Purpose-built for South Africa's B-BBEE Enterprise & Supplier Development Codes

Supplier compliance and ESD, run like infrastructure — not a spreadsheet.

nCompliance gives retailers and food manufacturers one place to onboard suppliers, keep every compliance certificate current, run their Enterprise & Supplier Development programme, and generate audit-ready evidence — software your own team runs, not a programme you outsource to an agency.

Supplier compliance still runs on email and spreadsheets, so certificates lapse unnoticed. In March 2025 a Boxer store in Tshwane was closed for operating without a Certificate of Acceptability.

On the transformation side, measured entities scored an average of 29 of the 44 points available for Enterprise & Supplier Development in 2023, according to the B-BBEE Commission. nCompliance keeps every supplier's compliance current and turns the same records into verification evidence.

Everything your programme needs, in one platform

Built specifically around the B-BBEE Codes and the way ESD programmes actually run in South Africa.

Supplier Compliance Register

Every requirement — CIPC, SARS TCS, B-BBEE certificate, HACCP, POPIA and more — tracked per supplier, with document verification and expiry alerts before they lapse.

ESD Register

Classify suppliers as Enterprise or Supplier Development beneficiaries, track graduation from ED to SD, and auto-populate the 5-item Verification Evidence Register that verification agencies review.

Programme Spend Dashboard

Cost each ESD programme activity individually with Activity-Based Cost Allocation, and see spend split across Enterprise, Supplier and Preferential Procurement at a glance.

Agreement Compliance Tracker

Track every programme agreement from draft to signed to active, with the obligations and milestones attached to each one flagged the moment they fall overdue.

Regulatory Readiness Certificates

Issue a publicly verifiable readiness certificate for each qualifying supplier — a permanent, shareable link a retailer or verification agency can check at any time.

Monthly Programme Reports

Generate a board-ready PDF in one click, combining ESD register status, activity spend and agreement compliance into a single monthly report.

Full Audit Trail

Every classification, document approval, status change and certificate issued is logged with who, what and when — evidence ready for any verification-agency review.

Built for both sides of the programme

Retailers & Manufacturers

Run your Enterprise & Supplier Development programme from one place: onboard suppliers, verify their compliance, allocate spend to the right B-BBEE element, and generate the evidence your verification agency needs — without a spreadsheet in sight.

Suppliers

Get a clear roadmap of exactly what compliance you still need, upload documents once, and earn a Regulatory Readiness Certificate that proves it — a credential you can show any retailer, not just the one that invited you.

Why nCompliance

Verifier-agnostic

The VER evidence package is built around the Statement 400 evidence that verification agencies review — not one agency's template.

Audit-ready by design

Every action is logged automatically. When a verification agency or auditor asks "prove it," the record is already there.

POPIA-aware

Supplier data is handled under a documented Privacy Notice and access is role-restricted through database-level security policies.

Founder-led

Built by nCompliance (Pty) Ltd — a 100% Black female-owned, Level 1 B-BBEE contributor, from direct experience with the compliance gap.
