Our Mission & You
Verusen’s vision is to build an intelligent, connected supply chain. Through years of well-meaning but haphazard information systems design, it is frequently the case that sharing information across the supply chain is incredibly difficult. Put simply, different parts of the supply chain refer to the same part in different and sometimes ambiguous ways. Our mission is not only to resolve these links, but to provide our customers with recommendations for those parts that are most at risk.
