Supplier Management

Companies that are strong don’t fail

Identifying which of your suppliers are vulnerable in today’s economic climate is a vital component of successful and proactive Supplier Management. Equally important is identifying existing and potential suppliers who are resolutely strong, no matter what the economy throws at them. The Company Watch Business Intelligence system provides reliable, predictive measures of financial health and a wealth of supporting business information enabling proactive management of your procurement process.

While traditional credit bureaus include in their scores accounts data that can be more than 18 months out of date, the Company Watch Business Intelligence system allows its subscribers to enter more up-to-date information (e.g. Management Accounts) and perform stress tests and financial forecasts to generate immediately updated H-Scores, Credit Limits, PoDs and Risk Ratings.

Company Watch can help you manage your suppliers with confidence, allowing you to focus on areas of greatest risk.

The Company Watch Portfolio Management system and Watchlist service allows you to monitor the financial health of key suppliers, to enable you to take swift action if there is any deterioration in their financial health.

Identify and assess potential new suppliers by using the Search Engine, filtering results by a range of parameters such as company size, financial health, financial factors and trends, by industry and location. 

Company Watch provides:

• The H-Score® & trend over 5 years, supported by the 7 component Factors that contribute to the H-Score®
• The PoD®
• The Risk Rating
• The Credit Limit (for UK companies only).
• Financial modelling facility – edit P&L and Balance Sheet to generate immediately updated H-Scores, PoDs and Credit Limits
