Supply Chain · Work Readiness 3 min read

Avetta, the leader in intelligent work readiness across global supply chains, has announced a series of strategic partnerships with Epigroup, Unimarket and Wakata to accelerate the growing impact and capability of its connected ecosystem. The partnerships expand Avetta's product and referral partner base to help continually improve safety, streamline compliance and accelerate work readiness for its customers.

As supply chains become more interconnected and operational risks more complex, organisations increasingly need trusted partners, deeper expertise and better visibility to become and remain ready to work. By expanding its ecosystem of complementary technologies and services, Avetta is helping businesses align around a higher standard of readiness across more than 360,000 businesses in over 120 countries.

"At Avetta, we're committed to building a connected ecosystem that helps our clients and suppliers stay ready for whatever comes next. Whether through deeper platform capabilities or access to expert services, these partnerships help close the work readiness gap and keep work moving forward."

— Scott Spencer, SVP of Alliances, Avetta

Three Partners, Three Distinct Capabilities

Epigroup is a Perth-based safety consultancy specialising in people-centric, digital-first solutions, providing high-end media, psychosocial risk and technical safety staffing to drive genuine cultural change. Together, Avetta and Epigroup help customers take a more practical, people-focused approach to workplace safety — from managing psychosocial risks to building stronger safety cultures.

Unimarket offers a source-to-pay platform, now integrated with Avetta and AI-enabled tools. The partnership embeds supplier readiness, risk and compliance intelligence directly into procurement and sourcing workflows, helping organisations make faster, more informed decisions based on verified supplier data.

"By connecting Avetta's supplier intelligence with Unimarket's source-to-pay platform, organisations can gain greater clarity and control and can make more informed decisions across the supplier lifecycle and buying journey."

— Dale Burgess, Director of ANZ Partnerships, Unimarket

Wakata extends Avetta's compliance and governance foundation into field operations, including worker assessments and plant and equipment management. Together, the two companies give clients a more connected model for managing contractor compliance, worker readiness and the day-to-day control of assessments and asset management.


Coming Together in Sydney

Unimarket and Wakata will both appear at the 2026 Avetta Summit Series event in Sydney on 10 September 2026, joining Avetta experts in the Connection Centre — a central hub for high-value, in-person collaboration where clients, suppliers, contractors and partners can meet, align and advance work readiness together.

For Wakata's Director, Emmy-Clare Rule, the partnership bridges compliance frameworks with the day-to-day realities of frontline work: "Bringing together worker readiness, asset and equipment management with connected assessment records helps organisations see what matters and act with greater confidence." The expanded ecosystem reflects a broader shift, as supplier management platforms move beyond prequalification and documentation checks into adjacent areas such as procurement integration, workforce assessment and field asset oversight.
