Introduction

Supplier Risk Intelligence

One platform for all your supplier risks

Increasing globalization makes it more difficult for purchasing and procurement teams to find reliable suppliers that meet high standards. Manually screening suppliers takes time and increases the risk of errors. Supplier Risk Intelligence offers a solution for sourcing, onboarding, and monitoring suppliers. This automation improves your operational efficiency, as you gain access to analyses of company information, payment behavior, corporate structure, D&B scores, UBOs, sanctions screening, ESG rankings, and cyber risk data, among other things. You also receive immediate notification of a supplier's score, allowing you to anticipate changes in a timely manner.
