Supply Management

Supplier Risk Manager - Alerts Module

Exceptional supply chain management using alerts to determine supplier risk

Challenge: Supplier disruptions tend to hit when you least expect them. Lean operations, global outsourcing and an economy that is uncertain at best make the stakes to manage your supply chain higher than ever. When a critical supplier goes bankrupt or delivers late, the impact on your profitability and brand reputation can be significant. Even small disruptions can have a serious effect on your business.

Solution: The Alerts Module can help you monitor and detect supplier risks earlier – giving you more time to proactively address potential problems and find the right solution.

Bottom line: Ongoing Alerts help you mitigate risk and avoid supplier disruption by providing updated information on your critical suppliers, so you can determine the right course of action.

Access the information you need, when you need it

Alerts are a powerful way to stay informed of events and trends that may impact your suppliers – and your business. Through the Alerts Module, you’re notified by e-mail when D&B has new information about a supplier on your watchlist. Customize your Alerts with threshold settings on over 25 data elements including D&B's powerful predictive risk scores such as the Supplier Stability Indictor and the Supplier Evaluation Risk Rating; special events like ownership changes, public filings like suits, liens and judgments, or natural disasters; EPA, OFAC, Debarment and Government Control List indicators; OSHA incidents; and supplier performance benchmarks. You’re also provided with a list of your riskiest suppliers and portfolio risk distribution via your desktop display. What’s more, you have the ability to create and manage multiple watchlist folders for grouping and managing suppliers (e.g., direct vs. indirect) as well as the ability to monitor Tier 2 suppliers.
