CreditRiskMonitor Launches SupplyChainMonitor at ISM World 2022
VALLEY COTTAGE, N.Y. - May 11, 2022 - CreditRiskMonitor® (OTCQX:CRMZ) is announcing the launch of SupplyChainMonitor™, a brand-new sister platform serving the company's rapidly expanding clientele working in procurement, at the Institute for Supply Management's ISM World 2022 event on May 23.
Mike Flum, President & COO, said, "With close to 250 large corporations from all over the world already using CreditRiskMonitor for procurement and supply chain risk management, we know there is demand for services that tackle financial risk assessment and ongoing monitoring of suppliers. About three years ago, we started developing SupplyChainMonitor, with the needs of the procurement use case and our core strategy of delivering services whose utility dramatically exceeds their price as our guiding principles. Over our 22 years of operations, this strategy has produced thousands of CreditRiskMonitor corporate clients worldwide."
Mr. Flum continued to say, "When we began the journey, we had no idea that the events of the past two years were going to unfold as they have. Between the supply shocks caused by the pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, mounting inflation, and the renewed focus on redundant, resilient, near-shoring of supply, the need for a service like SupplyChainMonitor has never been greater. We know the platform and its underlying data can dramatically assist in managing procurement risk and we are excited to announce its formal launch at ISM World."
SupplyChainMonitor (supplychainmonitor.com) offers interactive tools that help subscribers monitor and manage their company's supply chain risks at the aggregate and granular levels. With easy-to-use filtering and built-in views, SupplyChainMonitor™ offers concise dashboards with drill-down capabilities to examine counterparty risk across categories including geography, industry, and risk level, plus subscriber-provided metadata classes such as criticality and direct/indirect. The platform provides functions to easily view supplier locations on a world map, which supports real-time weather and natural disaster event overlays. Material news, weather, and other risk alerts and monitoring can be configured as immediate or daily digest push notifications. Fully-customizable company reports provide rich financial insights and charting including the industry-leading 96%-accurate FRISK® score, analyst-informed questions for at-risk counterparties, bond agency ratings, over 40 unique financial ratios, and much more. With records on just under 30 million businesses worldwide, predictive risk scores on approximately five million, and tier-2 payment data on about four million businesses, SupplyChainMonitor™ provides actionable insights for procurement risk management. Enhanced peer analysis tools allow comparisons of up to five companies over time across financial ratios and risk scores, simplifying bid reviews and alternative source investigations. Macro-level risk information on 180 countries across 10 risk categories and powered by the Economist Intelligence Unit is included to assist in sourcing strategy when examining geopolitical, legal, labor, tax, and security risks. The platform can also confidentially process financial statements from private counterparties to provide highly-predictive bankruptcy analytics and ratio comparison on all critical suppliers.
