According to Pruthvi Raj V, Analyst at Quadrant Knowledge Solutions, “Supplier networks are one of the most critical parts of the supply chain. With globalization, organizations have been exposed to global opportunities and complexities. Supplier relationship & risk management software can help to maintain the relationship between suppliers & organizations through the 3C’s- commitment, communication, and cooperation. It helps organizations track & manage internal supplier risks, such as supplier performance & financial stability, and external risks, such as environmental, political, and federal instability. This is done by integrating with organizations’ internal systems & third-party risk information providers. Some vendors leverage emerging technologies such as AI/ML and NLP to capture data from various sources, identify/predict supplier-related risks, and support organizations in making data-driven decisions to mitigate risks & improve overall business performance.”
