UAE supplier verification and document control

Every supplier document. One organised process.

DueForma helps businesses request, collect, review and monitor supplier information in one organised place, with built-in support for UAE supplier verification requirements and AML related due diligence.

The problem

Supplier documents should not live in five different places.

Trade licences in an inbox. Bank details on WhatsApp. Expiry dates buried in a spreadsheet. Documents saved across different folders and filenames.

None of these tools are necessarily the problem on their own. The difficulty comes when they are all being used at the same time and nobody has one clear view of what is complete, what is missing and what needs attention.

DueForma brings the process together into one organised supplier record.

This becomes especially important when an audit, FTA review, investment data room or new contract requires supporting records to be available quickly.

Email

Attachments get buried, forwarded and lost in long threads, often without one clear owner.

WhatsApp

Documents are quick to share but difficult to organise, monitor or trace as part of a complete supplier file.

Spreadsheets

Trackers rely on someone remembering to update them and can quickly fall behind what is actually happening.

Shared folders

Files may be stored safely, but folders alone do not show what is missing, under review or approaching renewal.

How it works

One process, from first request to approved supplier file.

DueForma supplier onboarding workflow
Built for the whole team

One process. Useful to every team.

Supplier onboarding rarely belongs to one person. Operations, finance, procurement and management all need different information from the same supplier file. DueForma gives each team visibility without creating another spreadsheet or asking someone else for an update.

Operations

See what is missing, what is waiting for review and who owns the next action. Expiry alerts highlight documents that need renewal.

Finance

Keep bank details, verification evidence, company records and supporting documents together before payment setup or commercial terms move forward.

Procurement

See onboarding status, outstanding requirements and the next action before purchasing proceeds.

Management

See supplier readiness, outstanding actions, renewal risks and verification history at a glance, with the visibility to act before bottlenecks affect operations.

Document intelligence

Different suppliers need different information.

When a supplier is added, DueForma asks a short series of questions about the business relationship, including what the supplier provides, where it operates and whether additional sector, verification or risk requirements may apply.

From those answers, DueForma recommends a starting document pack. Your team reviews the recommendation, adds or removes requirements according to company policy and confirms the final request before anything is sent.

Built-in AML and sanctions screening — for regulated sectors including jewellery, precious metals, real estate and financial services, supplier entities are screened against global databases as part of the onboarding workflow.
DueForma document requirements engine

Suggestions are configurable recommendations, not legal or compliance advice. Your team confirms the final document set before any request is sent.

Relevant

Requirements adapt to the supplier, sector and business relationship.

Configurable

Add, remove or make requirements conditional according to your own company policy.

Human controlled

Your authorised team confirms every request and final onboarding decision.

UAE supplier verification

Support for the UAE FTA supplier verification process.

DueForma supports the supplier verification process required under the UAE FTA framework by helping teams structure checks, retain supporting evidence and record completed verification steps within the supplier file.

The verification workflow can support:

  • Supplier registration and incorporation details
  • Authorised representative information
  • Place of business
  • Supplier risk indicators
  • Bank confirmation where applicable
  • Supply and payment information
  • Supporting evidence and documentation
  • Verification date and review history

Final verification, tax treatment and compliance decisions remain with the business and its authorised advisers. DueForma records and organises the process — it does not determine the outcome.

Verification record

A traceable record of what was checked.

Verification activity is retained within the supplier file and can be exported to support internal review, audit, inspection or evidence requests.

When a question arises about a supplier — from management, an auditor or an FTA inspector — the relevant history is available in one place rather than spread across emails and folders.

AML and screening

Due diligence support where the relationship requires more.

DueForma includes PEP and sanctions screening functionality to support supplier due diligence in sectors or relationships where additional checks may be required.

Screening results, review outcomes and verification history are retained alongside the supplier record, creating a traceable record of what was checked, when it was reviewed and how the result was handled.

Final screening interpretation, escalation and onboarding decisions remain with the authorised user.

What can be screened

Entities relevant to the supplier relationship.

  • Supplier company
  • Ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs)
  • Authorised representatives and signatories
  • Directors and key principals
  • Trade names where applicable
Reporting and traceability

A supplier file you can follow from start to finish.

DueForma keeps the history of each supplier file together, helping teams see not only the current status but how the record developed over time.

Key activity recorded

  • Document submissions and replacements
  • Corrections and update requests
  • Verification steps and dates
  • Screening reviews and outcomes
  • Approval decisions
  • Expiry updates and renewal actions
  • Changes to supplier information
  • Reviewer actions and timestamps
Export when you need it

Records ready when they are requested.

Supplier records and verification history can be downloaded to support:

  • Internal review and management oversight
  • Audit preparation
  • Regulatory or FTA inspection
  • Investor or data room requests
  • Compliance evidence requests

Exportable records reduce the need to reconstruct a supplier history from emails, folders and spreadsheets when evidence is requested at short notice.

For growing businesses

Built around how growing businesses actually work.

Start-ups and fast-scaling businesses often face the same pressures: lean teams, talent gaps, operational challenges and information arriving from every direction.

At the same time, attention is focused on growth, the next investment round, the data room, forecasts, customers, delivery and the decisions that keep the business moving forward.

That is often when the smaller operational tasks begin to accumulate.

Documents sit across inboxes and WhatsApp conversations. Someone maintains another spreadsheet. Supplier information is stored in different folders. Renewals rely on calendar reminders and valuable people spend time chasing information that should already be easy to find.

Individually, these tasks seem insignificant. Collectively, they create friction.

I have always believed that good structure should support growth rather than slow it down. When information is organised, responsibilities are visible and repetitive processes work properly, teams are better prepared for projects, audits, investment conversations and the next stage of growth.

That thinking led to DueForma.

Illustrative example

A supplier file without the usual chasing.

Aurelia Jewellery LLC manages procurement through a lean team without a dedicated supplier-onboarding function.

When the business begins onboarding a new gold supplier, DueForma recommends a jewellery-specific starting checklist based on the information provided.

The team reviews the requirements, sends one request to the supplier and tracks each submission from the same record.

Relevant verification and screening steps are recorded within the same workflow. Missing information remains visible, corrections can be requested directly and renewal dates are monitored once the file is complete.

If supporting evidence is later required, the supplier history and verification record can be exported.

The final review and approval remain with Aurelia's authorised team.

Example uses a fictional company and scenario for illustration only.

The goal is not to automate every decision or replace human judgement. It is much simpler:

Remove unnecessary administration, one task at a time.

Start with supplier onboarding. Make the requirements clear. Collect the information in one place. Keep the history together. Flag what needs attention and allow the people responsible for the business to make the final decision.

The less time a growing team spends managing avoidable administrative noise, the more time it can spend building the business.

FAQ

Questions we are asked most often.

Who is DueForma for?
DueForma is built for businesses managing supplier relationships that need a clearer way to collect, review, verify and monitor supplier information. It is particularly useful for operations, procurement and finance teams working without a large dedicated supplier onboarding function.
Do suppliers need to create an account?
No. Suppliers receive a secure upload link and can submit requested information and documents directly without creating an account.
How does DueForma decide which documents to request?
When a supplier is added, DueForma asks a short series of questions about the supplier, sector and business relationship. It then recommends a starting document pack. Your team reviews the recommendation, adjusts it according to company policy and confirms the final list before anything is sent.
Can we customise the document requirements?
Yes. Requirements can be added, removed or adjusted before the request is sent. The final decision remains with your authorised team.
Does DueForma support UAE supplier verification requirements?
Yes. DueForma includes a structured supplier verification workflow designed to support the UAE FTA supplier verification process, allowing users to record completed checks, retain supporting evidence and maintain a verification history. Final tax and compliance decisions remain with the business.
Does DueForma include PEP and sanctions screening?
Yes. DueForma includes screening functionality to support supplier due diligence. Potential matches and screening results require review and interpretation by an authorised user. Final escalation and onboarding decisions remain with the business.
How do screening credits work?
Each screening of a company or relevant person uses one screening credit. Starter includes 750 credits per year and Growth includes 3,000 credits per year. Additional screening credits can be purchased where required.
What happens when a supplier is no longer active?
A supplier can be archived. Archived supplier records remain available for historical reference, audit and traceability but do not count toward the active supplier limit.
Can we see what has changed in a supplier file?
Yes. DueForma records key supplier file activity so authorised users can review changes, verification activity, screening outcomes and other relevant actions over time.
Can records be downloaded for audit or inspection?
Yes. Supplier records and relevant verification history can be exported to support internal review, audit preparation, inspection or evidence requests. The export supports record preparation and traceability but does not replace the organisation's own legal, regulatory or record-keeping obligations.
Can existing suppliers be uploaded?
Bulk supplier preload is available for Enterprise implementations by CSV. Imported suppliers are created as draft records and still need to complete the relevant onboarding and verification workflow before they can be treated as fully reviewed or approved.
How does expiry monitoring work?
DueForma monitors recorded document expiry dates and sends automated email reminders ahead of renewal, helping teams identify documents requiring attention without maintaining separate trackers.
How does billing work?
Starter and Growth are billed annually and paid in full at the start of each term. Growth includes a one-time onboarding and configuration fee. Enterprise pricing is tailored according to supplier volume, entities, users, integrations and implementation requirements. There is no monthly payment option.
Does DueForma provide legal or compliance advice?
No. DueForma is a supplier onboarding, verification and document workflow platform. It does not provide legal, tax, regulatory or compliance advice. Businesses remain responsible for determining and meeting their own obligations. Final decisions remain with authorised users.
