Platform features

Everything inside
the platform

Two fully integrated modules. One seamless workflow. Here's a complete breakdown of what Vessel includes, organized by the work you're doing.

350+ assessment library

The largest manufacturing assessment library in the U.S., NAICS-aligned, organized by domain, and continuously updated. Never build an assessment from scratch again.

AI insights and scoring

AI analyzes every assessment response to generate risk scores, opportunity rankings, and prioritized recommendations, tailored to each manufacturer's specific situation.

Assessor analytics

Your team's observations and qualitative notes combine with AI analysis to produce richer, more accurate evaluations, blending human expertise with machine speed.

Custom question types

Build assessments using diverse formats, yes/no, Likert scale, open text, multiple choice, numerical scoring, and more, matched to the precision each evaluation requires.

Custom scoring and calculations

Define scoring rules, weighting, maturity levels, and automated formulas tailored to each assessment's unique criteria. Complex logic, no code required.

Benchmarking and rankings

Compare client scores against NAICS industry standards, program averages, or internal benchmarks. Give every manufacturer a clear picture of where they stand.

Universal links

Share any assessment via a single link. Manufacturers complete it on any device, from anywhere, no account creation, no installs, zero friction.

Company-level links

Generate unique links tied to specific manufacturer companies, enabling controlled access and ensuring each response is attributed to the right client record.

Progress tracking over time

Re-run assessments quarterly or annually. Track manufacturer improvement with before/after comparisons that make your impact measurable and undeniable.

Supplier scouting

Identify and evaluate potential suppliers for your manufacturer clients, filtered by capability, size, advanced search and NAICS category. Replace manual research with structured intelligence.

Risk analysis and mapping

Map single-source dependencies, geographic concentration, and capacity vulnerabilities across a manufacturer's supply chain. Surface risks before they become disruptions.

Advanced supply chain analytics

Comprehensive insights generated from supplier data, assessment findings, and industry benchmarks, presented in a unified view that informs strategic recommendations.

Geographic company intelligence

Discover and filter manufacturers by location, industry code, size, and ownership type, all mapped in real time across every state.

Legislative context included

See the state and federal legislators tied to each company, with district, party, and contact channels ready for outreach and compliance workflows.

Branded intake forms

Collect manufacturer details with customizable, fully branded survey and intake forms, before the assessment begins, so every engagement starts with clean, structured data.

Multiple chart types

Visualize results with bar charts, radar charts, maturity matrices, and trend lines, selected automatically based on the assessment type and data structure.

Real-time results page

Manufacturers and clients can view a live results dashboard as responses come in, organized, visual, and accessible on any device without needing a printed report.

Report builder

Create structured reports with customizable sections, automated content, and assessor annotations. Structure the narrative around your client's priorities, not a fixed template.

Web based and PDF Report

Every assessment automatically generates a complete branded report, risk scores, benchmarks, AI recommendations, and action items. Review, annotate, and deliver. Done in minutes.

White-label branded delivery

Every report, intake form, assessment link, and client-facing interface carries your brand, logo, colors, and name. Clients never see Vessel's branding.

Multi-user team access

Invite your entire assessment team. Assign roles, control access by client or project, and keep every assessor working in the same shared workspace, no duplicate records, no version confusion.

Cross-client dashboard

See every active assessment, manufacturer status, and progress score across your entire client network in one unified dashboard. Know exactly where every engagement stands.

Custom assessment import

Already have assessments you use? We digitize and configure your existing evaluations, preserving your scoring logic, question formats, and category structure.

Solutions and recommendations

Invite your entire assessment team. Assign roles, control access by client or project, and keep every assessor working in the same shared workspace, no duplicate records, no version confusion.

Smart Assessment Assistant

An AI guide built into every assessment. It helps your clients understand your methodology, interpret each question, and complete their responses confidently, reducing back-and-forth and improving the quality of every result you receive.

How it's built

Platform architecture,
one unified data layer

Built for integration, not isolation

Most tools force you to export from one platform and import into another. Vessel eliminates that entirely, assessment data flows directly into supply chain analysis, and both flow into a unified report.

Single client record, assessment and supply chain data in one place

AI layer processes both modules simultaneously for richer insights

Reports pull from all data sources automatically, no manual assembly

NAICS-aligned across both assessment and supply chain modules

White-label applied uniformly across all client-facing surfaces

Platform questions

Frequently asked

One product. Smart assessments and supply chain intelligence are two modules within the same unified platform, sharing a single client record, a single AI layer, and a single interface. You never switch tools or export data between them.
Yes, fully. Every assessment in the library can be customized, question order, scoring logic, weighting, branding, and section structure. You can also add custom questions to any pre-built assessment, or build entirely new ones from scratch within the platform.
Your logo, brand colors, and name are applied uniformly across the platform interface, all client-facing links, intake forms, and PDF reports. Manufacturers interact with your brand throughout the entire experience, Vessel's name never appears.
Vessel is designed to be the primary platform for your assessment and supply chain work, not a plugin that depends on other tools. For specific integration needs, contact us to discuss what's possible for your program or practice.
The Vessel team continuously updates the assessment library, AI models, and platform features. Updates are deployed automatically, you always have access to the latest assessments and capabilities without any action on your part.
Vessel takes data security seriously. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Client and manufacturer data is isolated by organization, your clients' data is never visible to other Vessel users. Contact us for our full security documentation.
All plans include onboarding support and access to the Vessel team. Professional and Agency plans include priority support. We also handle the initial platform configuration, branding setup, assessment imports, and team onboarding, so you're productive from day one.
