Accio Data Integrates VOEDX for Streamlined Background Screening

Accio Data, a leader in background screening technology, has integrated its platform with VOEDX, the first neutral verification-routing utility for the background screening industry. This integration marks a significant advancement for Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) by providing them with a streamlined, efficient method to manage verifications.

VOEDX, founded by Anthony Petraco, aims to address the fragmented nature of the background screening industry. Traditionally, CRAs have faced challenges with a many-to-one supplier model, leading to multiple integrations, disparate billing, and reliance on a few dominant suppliers. Accio Data, through its Accio Enterprise screening platform, is the first to adopt VOEDX, offering CRAs a single connection to a growing network of verification suppliers.

Under the new integration, CRAs can now send a single verification request through VOEDX, which routes the request to the most appropriate supplier based on a configurable "waterfall" system. Suppliers then fulfill the request, and results are returned to the CRA in an end-to-end tracked process. This approach is designed to improve completion rates, broaden coverage across various verticals, and consolidate billing and support, thereby reducing the burden on IT teams.

Cody Reeves, CEO of Accio Data, commented, "Verifications remain one of the biggest challenges CRAs face, and expanding the supply available to them has been a priority for us. Integrating the VOEDX network gives our customers access to a growing pool of verification suppliers through a single connection they already use, helping them improve completion rates and better serve their clients without adding to their build."

The VOEDX network launches with a focus on employment and social media verifications, with plans to expand into international and criminal coverage in the future. VOEDX was built by screeners for screeners, ensuring a deep understanding of the industry's needs.

Accio Data CEO Cody Reeves emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating, "Verification was a problem, and there wasn't enough supply, that's the message we kept hearing from CRAs. We built VOEDX so you can connect to many suppliers through one flow and never depend on one or two vendors. Accio was the first platform to see what this could do for CRAs, and the right partner to prove it."

This integration is expected to benefit CRAs by reducing complexity and increasing efficiency in their operations, ultimately allowing them to focus more on their core business of providing accurate and timely background checks to employers.
