Dashboard

The Dashboard is the first page the user will see upon logging in. It provides you with recent alerts, as well as a quick overview of information pertaining to the suppliers you are monitoring.

When you first login into Suppler Risk Manager, your individual Dashboard will be empty until you have setup your watchlist folders. Segment your suppliers into folders and add alert profiles for the criteria you would like monitored through the watchlist functionality. It is the watchlist folders in conjunction with the Supply Base from your company that fuel what you see on the Dashboard.

The Suppliers tab houses your vendor master within the Admin folders along with public and private folders. Folders are a way to segment your suppliers, view and manage suppliers, and configure public or private watchlist folders. This is also the place to keep track of your contractual watchlist levels of Domestic and International suppliers.

NOTE: Each user's Dashboard will be different based on the accounts that the user is monitoring.

Segment Suppliers into Folders

Set up folders to monitor the most important suppliers. For example, you can segment by industry or state.

Add Alert Profiles to Each Folder

Add alerts to each folder to monitor important positive and negative changes to the suppliers you work with. One combination of criteria can be added to each folder grouping.

Using the Profile View

The Profile view allows you to navigate a supplier's profile.

This view includes:

  • Predictive Scores and Ratings
  • Company Overview
  • 18 month Risk Trend graphs
  • Financial and Legal Indicators
  • Government Indicators

Enter company name or supplier ID into the search function to get to a supplier's page directly. The following information displays:

  • Contact information
  • D-U-N-S Number
  • Location information (including Branch, Headquarters or Single Location)
  • Trade Names

All companies being monitored for alerts are updated twice a day, while companies not being monitored are updated by a monthly data feed. If the last update was more than two days earlier, the Update Record button will be live. The link will be grayed out if the information is already refreshed.

Corporate Linkage

This provides you with an expanded view of your Suppliers' hierarchy, from their Global Ultimate Parent on down to each branch location.

Information is interactive so you can select a location and be directed to their profile. Use the scroll bar to browse through the layers of the family tree to view information in depth. Eliminate the branch locations or single locations to see only the headquarters and subsidiaries.
