Supplier risk is increasingly distributed, dynamic and harder to control using fragmented data or periodic assessments. Organizations need continuous visibility, verified insight and a structured way to act on supplier risk across the supply chain.
Achilles helps organizations move from supplier data to continuous risk intelligence.
FROM VISIBILITY TO ACTION
Achilles enables organizations to turn fragmented supplier information into verified, actionable risk intelligence that supports faster, more confident decision-making.
STEP ONE
Identify the suppliers that present the greatest potential risk across your supply chain. By analysing multiple supplier risk indicators, Achilles Risk Screening helps you focus activities where they will have the biggest impact.
Emerging supplier issues identified before disruption escalates
Focus deeper review and engagement where exposure is highest.
Less time gathering fragmented external intelligence.
Greater visibility across the wider supply chain.
STEP TWO
Whether assessing financial, operational or ethical risk areas, Achilles provides the evidence needed for confident decision-making, strengthened through verification, independent assessment and audit where appropriate.
Go beyond self-declared information with verified data, independent assessments and audits.
Investigate higher-risk suppliers through detailed assessments that provide greater confidence in your decisions.
Build an evidence-based approach to supplier due diligence that supports stronger governance and regulatory compliance.
STEP 3
Real risk reduction comes from how effectively organizations and suppliers respond to findings and drive sustained improvement. Achilles supports structured collaboration between buyers and suppliers to close gaps, implement corrective actions and strengthen performance over time.
Maintain visibility of supplier commitments, monitor progress against agreed actions and ensure issues are resolved effectively.
Enable structured improvement initiatives that help suppliers address root causes and strengthen performance in a consistent, measurable way.
Embed ongoing improvement into supplier relationships so performance strengthens over time and risk exposure is progressively reduced.
THE RESULT
A targeted, risk-based approach helps organizations reduce supplier risk while making better use of limited assurance resources.
Identify emerging supplier issues before they affect projects, operations or service delivery.
Address problems earlier to reduce delays, rework and the financial impact of supplier failures.
Spend less time responding to supplier issues and more time preventing them.
Demonstrate a consistent, evidence-based approach to supplier risk management that supports regulatory and customer expectations.
ACHILLES RISK COMPONENTS
The Achilles solution features eight core modules, each made up of targeted risk components that address key areas of supplier risk. Clients can tailor their selection based on factors like geography, risk profile, and spend.
