Supplier benefits

The Achilles methodology includes an initial ‘no touch’ risk assessment using proprietary algorithms to provide a predictive risk score for all suppliers. This is then followed by systematic further assessment of higher risk and business critical suppliers with increasing levels of due diligence.

We collect and analyse data from a wide range of primary and secondary sources to ensure you see not only what has happened in the past but, more importantly, where your risks might lie in the future.

You can also add your own ratings and view ratings of other buyers across our network to provide a more comprehensive understanding. Our in-depth evaluation is the most comprehensive in the market and includes ESG, Financial, Cyber, Carbon, Health and Safety Adverse media and geopolitical risk to give you maximum supply chain protection and confidence.

Achilles undertakes unparalleled 100% validation of critical supplier information and, uniquely, also provides worker interview, world-class desktop and in-person audit services to enable you to go deeper into your supply chain and ensure you are fully able to meet your own organisational standards, all relevant ESG and supply chain regulations and investor expectations.

At Achilles, we strongly believe that risk management should and can never be a “one and done” process. We continuously work across your supply chain to keep data up to date, monitor their ESG and wider risk performance and provide you with ongoing protection from supply chain risk.

Our processes have been continuously refined over more than 30 years of supporting international clients, aligned to industry regulations and standardised models to enable the continuous improvement of your supply chain.

The Achilles platform makes comprehensive supply chain information and analytics available at the touch of a button to support all your reporting requirements. For customers that want to go further, we also offer bespoke Reporting services to meet specific regulatory, investor and other stakeholder requirements.

Learn more about reporting

When you work with Achilles, not only are you improving your own supply chain management, your suppliers also gain significant value from an Achilles programme – understanding your risk and performance requirements and working to not only achieve them but exceed them, to stand-out from the crowd and win new business. Suppliers who invest and complete the pre-qualification process are visible to regional, national or international buyers and see significant commercial benefit from their participation.
