Common questions
How is procurement intelligence different from standard supplier due diligence?+
Standard due diligence typically checks a supplier you've already identified. Our procurement intelligence work starts a step earlier, mapping the full qualified supply base, so you're choosing from the best available options, not just the ones already on your radar.
What risk categories do you screen for?+
Financial stability, operational/production capability, regulatory and compliance history, ESG performance, geopolitical exposure, and cybersecurity posture, weighted according to what matters most for the category in question.
Do you support the RFP process itself, or only the research behind it?+
Both, we can design the RFx documents and scoring model, or plug into an RFx process you've already started, depending on where you are in the sourcing cycle.
