Supply Wisdom provides industry leading continuous, real-time Risk Intelligence and monitoring of Suppliers and Locations, while providing an objective risk-based model for tracking, comparing, and predicting risks. It provides these advantages on the cloud, on a subscription-basis, without the need to invest in any systems. Getting started takes minutes, as there is no implementation cost or time.

Supply Wisdom collects and validates information from several hundred sources of data, including public and private sources; we conduct both primary and secondary research. Every data point used in our models has at least two separate sources of data to ensure the integrity of our model and to provide you with reliable, fact-based insights. The system also has in-built truth meters that automatically detect and flag anomalies.

Supply Wisdom Risk Ratings are an objective, integral part of our service that allow you to quickly compare potential risk and identify opportunities across Suppliers or Locations. Our risk ratings are rooted in our proprietary algorithms that look at both quantitative and qualitative changes in the marketplace. In our models each category of risk (Macro-Economic, Financial, Scalability, etc.) is given a risk weighting based on the potential impact of the category on operational risk. We make that risk weighting completely transparent to you as a subscriber. This gives you insight into knowing what risks are changing, and confidence in taking appropriate actions to mitigate risk.

None! Supply Wisdom is a cloud-based service and, as such, no additional systems are needed and no system integration is required to use it. Our open API capabilities support any system integration program.

Companies such as Northern Trust, SunTrust, SunCorp, United Health and Merck benefit from using Supply Wisdom insights to manage their complex global services and meet regulatory demand to continuously monitor third party risk. Subscribers also include companies in less regulated industries such as Microsoft, Mondelez International, Walgreens and Ancestry.com, who use Supply Wisdom to better manage their global outsourced and company-owned operations, captives, and resources.
