Pre-built assessments and analytics for transparent, responsible supply chains

Santa Cruz, CA: SupplyShift recently released their SupplyShift Essentials solutions that allow companies to quickly align responsible procurement strategies with best practices in their industry. Each Essentials solution comes complete with ready-to-send assessments, built-in scoring methodologies, and pre-built analytics dashboards, all designed to streamline progress toward a company’s specific goals for supply chain responsibility and risk management.

“Responsible sourcing has become a requirement for brands, especially for their Millennial consumers who drive the majority of consumer spending,” said Alex Gershenson, CEO at SupplyShift. “Customers are demanding responsible sourcing, and companies are expected to know the details of their supply chains to ensure that their suppliers maintain the same socially and environmentally responsible sourcing standards that they do.”

In today’s connected world, the reputation of a company depends on the practices of all their suppliers – all the way to the source. SupplyShift provides a cloud-based platform to seamlessly gather intelligence about supply chains and the analysis tools critical to make informed procurement decisions. While many organizations understand the need to implement responsible sourcing strategies, they often struggle with putting in place systems or processes to accomplish their goals. SupplyShift Essentials provides a high quality, simple, and low-cost entry point for responsible sourcing.
