How our solutions can help you tackle the challenges
The linear approach to supplier risk handling is old hat
Since there are several risk-types at work in the supplier ecosystem, a multi-dimensional approach to risk mitigation is long overdue.
Take a “single view of enterprise risk” and impactful decisions will follow
Our risk monitoring model pivots around helping the client decode their supplier’s overall risk profile at a given moment of time. In so doing, our AI-powered D-Risk module departs from traditional risk monitoring to deliver a multidimensional view of supplier risks, covering operational, cost, stability, industry, and reputational risks.
A fiscally unstable supplier is a timed device waiting to go off
A one-time credit check is no guarantee that your supplier is financially strong, and unstable vendors might have a knock-on effect on buyers too.
There are foolproof ways to weed out financially weak-kneed vendors
It is more prudent to filter out vendors whose fiscal health is under a cloud earlier on than onboard them and deal with associated risks. D-Risk’s stability score is a handy metric to help you create a preferred list of vendors with consistently higher stability risk scores, versus their peers.
Reputations are easy to lose though hard to build
A single misstep or a controversial supplier or supply decision can cost any business dearly in terms of reputational damage.
Comprehensive reputational risk monitoring is all-important
Many transnational corporations have discovered the monetary cost of reputational risks the hard way. The D-Risk platform is helping businesses avoid the pain of learning by risking their brand reputation. The tool works out supplier risk scores using employee and customer ratings as inputs.
