Supply Base
Take control of your strategic supplier relationships
Build and Sustain High-Quality Supplier Relationships
Advanced supplier analytics reveal savings, untapped opportunities and unforeseen risks. This data-driven procurement strategy boosts bottom-line results. Cut supplier review time and select the right companies to work with using our single source of supplier information and insights. With D&B, you’ll be able to see into your supply base.
Accelerate supplier on-boarding — avoid excess manual efforts
On-boarding suppliers can be a complex process, requiring you to validate that the supplier is a legitimate legal entity with the proper tax and legal codes — even ensuring that the supplier is financially solvent. Gaining efficiency requires validating vendors upfront and identifying and eliminating any duplicate supplier records before adding them to the Global Supplier Master within your MDM.
Get transparent, comprehensive supplier visibility
With D&B, you get a comprehensive view of service, quality and compliance metrics to efficiently manage your global and regional supplier relationships. Ensure supplier viability, isolate and identify any "bad actors" and identify risks and opportunities through sophisticated portfolio management. Across a wide range of industries, we can help you ensure regulatory and financial compliance — and support the transparency you need to build strong supplier partnerships.
Clean, accurate supplier data for all tiers of suppliers
D&B helps you cleanse, match and append global data on hundreds of thousands of suppliers with frequent refreshes that load directly into your master data management (MDM) system. We give your procurement team the information they need on your Tier 1 suppliers utilizing all relevant data on cost structures to supply availability, lead times and financial and operational risks. This supplier intelligence increases your negotiating leverage and drives down costs.
