Examples of Archer Integration Use Cases with Tonkean

Tonkean’s no-code integration with Archer empowers enterprise operations teams in procurement, legal, and IT to orchestrate and automate risk and vendor management workflows end-to-end. By bridging Archer’s robust third-party risk management capabilities with the rest of your business tech stack, Tonkean enables seamless process automation, improved compliance, and a better experience for all stakeholders. Below are real-world examples of how operations professionals can leverage Tonkean’s Archer integration to solve common challenges.

1. Automated Vendor Onboarding & Risk Assessment

Streamline the entire vendor onboarding process by connecting Tonkean’s intake forms and guided intake experiences to Archer. When a new vendor request is submitted via Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email, Tonkean can automatically create a vendor in Archer, trigger the appropriate Engagement Risk Assessment, and notify stakeholders of next steps. This eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, and ensures every new vendor is properly risk-assessed before onboarding.

• Integrate with contract management tools like Ironclad or DocuSign to ensure contracts are only executed after risk review is complete.
• Automatically collect required documentation and upload attachments to the vendor’s Archer profile.

2. Real-Time Risk Rating Synchronization

Maintaining up-to-date risk ratings is critical for compliance and decision-making. Tonkean can monitor changes in risk posture within Archer and update risk ratings across connected systems, such as procurement platforms (Coupa, SAP Ariba) or internal dashboards. This ensures all teams are working with the latest risk data, reducing the chance of oversight or non-compliance.

• Trigger automated alerts or approval cycles if a vendor’s risk rating exceeds a defined threshold.
• Sync risk ratings with procurement and contract management systems for holistic visibility.

3. Automated Intake, Triage, and Assessment Triggering

Tonkean’s AI Front Door and intelligent request classification capabilities allow for smart intake of new engagement or vendor requests from any channel. Based on the request details, Tonkean can trigger an assessment in Archer, route requests to the appropriate risk or legal team, and track progress through to completion—all without manual intervention.

• Integrate with email, Slack, or Teams for seamless request capture and status updates.
• Automate assignment and escalation based on business unit, risk level, or contract type.

4. Remediation and Findings Management

When Archer identifies new Findings / Issues, Tonkean can orchestrate follow-up workflows by assigning tasks in Asana, Jira, or ServiceNow, and tracking remediation progress. Attachments and evidence can be automatically uploaded to Archer, ensuring a complete audit trail for compliance and reporting.

• Automate reminders and escalations for overdue remediation actions.
• Generate consolidated reports for audits using Tonkean’s process optimization and reporting features.

5. Centralized Documentation and Audit Readiness

Tonkean can automate the collection and upload of attachments (e.g., compliance certificates, contracts, risk assessments) to the appropriate Archer records. This ensures all necessary documentation is centralized, up-to-date, and easily accessible for audits or regulatory reviews.

• Integrate with cloud storage (Box, Google Drive, SharePoint) to pull in supporting documents automatically.
• Automate document requests and reminders to vendors or internal teams.
