Manage a Broad Range of Use Cases

Find the best suppliers for your business. Supplier and vendor qualification is critical for your success, and for mutual relationships with your new business partners. Customizable yet solid qualification surveys allow you to efficiently qualify your partners and make sound decisions.
Manage due diligence of existing relationships with contracted suppliers. Operate periodic or ad-hoc surveys, so you adhere to the various internal directives and regulations needed to be compliant with ESG, and other requirements.
Evaluate and verify your risk alerts. Imagine that a typhoon hits an area where several of your essential component suppliers are located. Evaluate the criticality of the alert by identifying all affected suppliers, visualized on our digital world map. Then get direct insights from those suppliers with easy-to-create and flexible surveys.

Access central data collection and assessment. Be prepared for upcoming product inspections by preventing the use of materials that do not meet specifications.

Risk Monitoring and Risk Assessments

Demonstrate transparency in the supply chain. Show that all suppliers, vendors, and third parties have been evaluated fairly, and in line with resolving or preventing risk.
Assess with risk in mind. See the most significant risks highlighted on your digital world map and dashboards. This helps you to identify and mitigate any associated risks of suppliers and categories.
Receive automated assessment evaluation. Add third-party assessments to a central risk management process. Evaluate and transfer survey results automatically into your business partners’ holistic risk profiles within the riskmethods Scorecard. When a predefined threshold score is hit, risk alerts are created. You can begin mitigation activity immediately.
The four pillars of holistic risk monitoring. Within The riskmethods Solution, you combine risk data from riskmethods, data from third-party providers, and your own risk information with the results of your supplier assessments. This gives you a comprehensive database for the best possible risk monitoring.
