About Greenhous
Greenhous was founded in 1912 and is headquartered in the West Midlands. It has 13 sites and over 1,000 employees, and sells commercial and pre-owned vehicles alongside a fleet division.
The challenge
Under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, organisations with a turnover of £36m or more must publish a statement every year. It sets out the steps they take to find and prevent modern slavery in their business and supply chains.
Greenhous had no formal process for this. With a deep supply chain, gathering the information got harder every year, according to Nahara Hanson, its HR Manager.
“The compliance challenge is not, do we have problems in our supply chain, but how do we achieve compliance as part of other people’s supply chain.”

Why Omnitrack
Greenhous wanted one central system that every site could use. Building one in-house was an option, but its developers didn’t have the time.
Greenhous already used VinciWorks eLearning for other compliance topics and was happy with it, so it looked at Omnitrack.
“Omnitrack has everything we need for our compliance. It is better than doing something in-house because they’ve done all the work. Someone has done this, so why reinvent the wheel?”

Onboarding
Greenhous’ setup was customised to the way it works, so support mattered. Its account manager and the support team helped configure it and answered questions along the way.
Rather than add every supplier at once, Greenhous rolled out one site at a time. One dealership tested the system first. Each site then followed, so no supplier got the same request twice.
The result
Greenhous now uses Omnitrack to contact its suppliers and collect what it needs for its Modern Slavery statement, in one place it can rely on.
For modern slavery and the supply chain, Omnitrack solved our compliance challenges. Its off-the-shelf system was customised to meet our compliance needs and their support team was extremely patient and very competent.
