According to Kumar Anand, Analyst at Quadrant Knowledge Solutions, “Supplier Relationship & Risk solution as ‘software that helps organizations recognize, manage, and measure the risk levels across each sourcing process (from supplier qualification to risk management) to drive operational efficiency.’ The solution gathers the supplier’s data across the global network to provide comprehensive visibility into various risk factors (including legal, CSR, financial, geographical, and more) to improve partner relationships and help leaders make informed business decisions”. Additionally, “Driven by the growing complexity across supply chain networks and supplier selection processes, organizations are focusing on adopting AI/ML-driven SRM solutions to streamline the operational activities. AI can assist in driving the best possible scenario for supplier selection while reducing the associated risks during each supplier interaction, adds Kumar Anand”.
