Helping you see the full picture.
Supplier Portfolio Manager is an online analysis tool which merges your vendor data with D&B’s databases to provide a unique insight into your supplier portfolios from buyers or business unit spend to how your suppliers are linked and what their main business activities are.
D&B data is refreshed monthly or daily according to your preferences and you can update your data with supplier data at any time. Through Supplier Portfolio Manager Alerts you can be told of significant changes within your portfolio to avoid supply chain disruption risk. You can manage what alerts are generated by determining your own customized triggers and then review all suppliers with a change through View Alerts or request notification via email. For example: identify those suppliers that have moved between your defined risk bands or whose D&B score has changed by more than 10.
Supplier Portfolio Manager gives you four types of analysis together with the ability to ‘drill down’ to individual suppliers and click through to access D&B business information reports online
Provides a breakdown of the overall risk structure and the common characteristics of your supplier portfolio. Your suppliers and spend are aggregated using criteria such as: business size, business age, legal form, geographical location and predictive risk score.
Analyze your aggregated spend amounts by global ultimate holding company and primary activity sector. By leveraging the power of D&B family trees of corporate linkages you will not only be able to understand your total spend with a group and negotiate cost savings but also identify potential cross-source opportunities within the same supply family.
Review the risk associated with each supplier and using the D&B scores identifies which suppliers may experience financial or potential cash flow difficulties in the next 12 months and identify which of your suppliers have the highest dependency on you.
This gives a summarized view of your supplier portfolio by risk of future failure. It enables a review of the distribution of spend amount by D&B Failure score, Risk category and supplier type; aggregated and split by D&B failure risk band and suppliers by spend that are also customers.
Keeps a history of all changes that may impact a business decision, including a history of all reports ordered, alerts raised, notes added, user setting changes and system setting changes for up to 24 months.
