Chain of Responsibility
All parties in the road transport supply chain have legal duties under the Chain of Responsibility (CoR) to help prevent breaches. This means everyone involved must actively work to avoid offences related to mass, load restraint, dimensions, fatigue, and speed. WesTrac can be held legally responsible if these obligations aren’t met. CoR laws also consider how the actions or inactions of off-road parties impact transport safety.
Some CoR laws may differ depending on which state you are in. Follow these links to find out information relevant to your state.
Safety is a core SPARC value at WesTrac, and to reduce Chain of Responsibility (CoR) risks, a cross-business working group has developed simplified load restraint guides and mass/dimension data. The group is also focusing on CoR training to ensure staff understand the laws, risks, and how to stay safe.
This simple explainer video from the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator breaks down Chain of Responsibility in less than three minutes.
SAP Ariba Network
The Ariba Network is a hosted service that connects suppliers to businesses. It hosts catalogues, process purchase orders and invoices. Successful WesTrac suppliers will be required to transact with via the Ariba Network.
The Ariba Network for suppliers provides two options: Standard (Free) and Enterprise (Paid). With both of these options, you’ll receive purchase orders via email and invoices can be submitted via the Ariba Network (includes both Purchase Order and Contract Orders). You’ll also receive invoice status notifications.
The Supplier Education Materials Portal is a dedicated online portal for WesTrac suppliers and contractors that are conducting business with WesTrac via the SAP Business Network (SBN).
Before conducting business with WesTrac via the SAP Business Network (SBN), we recommend all suppliers and contractors download review the FAQs document.
Tendering and quoting through the Ariba Supplier Portal is a digital process where suppliers receive and respond to sourcing events like RFQs or RFPs from buyers. Suppliers access event details, submit quotes or proposals, and communicate directly through the portal. Ariba ensures accurate submissions, real-time updates, and transparent evaluation, streamlining the procurement process and making competitive bidding more efficient and accessible.

Eftsure Supplier Verification
WesTrac uses Eftsure, an independent verification platform, to confirm supplier information and help protect both our business and our suppliers from fraud or payment error. All suppliers must complete the Eftsure verification process before conducting business with us or receiving payment.
Eftsure independently validates key supplier information to ensure payment details are accurate and legitimate. This includes a confirmation call to new suppliers to verify their details as part of the onboarding process.
During the Eftsure verification process, suppliers will be asked to provide:
- Bank details
- ABN
- Trading name
- GST registration
- Company contact information.
If your business details change, please contact the Vendor Management team at any time. They will issue an ‘Eftsure Change Request’ allowing you to securely update your information.
It is the responsibility of each supplier to ensure their details remain current. Please notify us immediately if you identify any changes or discrepancies.
As part of your onboarding, the Vendor Management team will request your company name and email address. You will then receive an email invitation from Eftsure to register your details, including:
- ABN
- Company name
- Business address
- Contact email
- Bank account details
An Eftsure team member may contact you within 24 – 48 hours to verify your information. You will receive a confirmation email once your details have been successfully verified.
