Frequently Asked Questions
What data sources does Supplier 360 pull from?
We ingest data from internal systems (POs, payments, delivery logs), public sources (LinkedIn, press releases, litigation databases), and sentiment feeds (news headlines, ESG reports, social media) to create a holistic supplier view.
How are risk scores calculated?
We use a hybrid ensemble AI model that combines gradient boosting for structured data, transformer-based NLP for sentiment, and anomaly detection models. These are blended to generate a normalized risk score (0–100 or A–F).
Can I get alerts about sudden supplier changes or disruptions?
Yes. Supplier 360 provides real-time alerts on key risk triggers like mergers, lawsuits, leadership changes, environmental violations, and supply delays.
How is this different from traditional supplier risk tools?
Unlike static scoring models, Supplier 360 uses AI to analyze structured, unstructured, and behavioral data. It updates in real time, includes NLP sentiment scoring, and supports anomaly detection for early warnings.
Can I map supplier factory locations and assess geo-risk?
Absolutely. You can view a global map of supplier manufacturing and assembly sites and correlate them with regional risks like natural disasters, conflict zones, and geopolitical events.
