I want to consolidate my supplier database

To identify consolidation opportunities within your supplier base, additional information and knowledge about your suppliers is needed. This will give you insight into where you can make savings and how you can reduce the number of suppliers.

Discover opportunities to save

Using the extensive international Dun & Bradstreet Data Cloud, you can enrich your supplier database with valuable additional information. This makes it clear which suppliers you are doing business with. It could be that you use several suppliers (worldwide) to purchase the same products or services.

Understanding the activity codes (SIC or SBI) of your suppliers can therefore reveal consolidation opportunities. It may also happen that you have entered into an agreement with several sister companies. In such cases, the obvious solution is to conclude a framework agreement to reduce the number of suppliers and to benefit from economies of scale. Insight into group structures makes it clear what your spend is within the total family structure (group-wide). With the Altares Dun & Bradstreet information you will discover opportunities to save on your total spend and create a single central purchasing (preferred supplier) file.

Reliable and up-to-date information is essential in the selection process of new suppliers. The interests and risks are simply too great to trust parties 'with their blue eyes'. You can use the information in the D&B database to identify suppliers (who exactly am I doing business with). You can then map out the associated commercial risks and assess the creditworthiness. Furthermore, the mutual dependence can be mapped out. Read more.
