Supply chain risk and performance management firm Achilles has launched Achilles Risk Screening, a new AI-assisted supplier intelligence capability to help users identify emerging risk exposure across large supplier populations.
The application aims to provide a scalable intelligence layer across large supplier populations, combining verified information from Achilles’ own network, incorporating over 900 buying organisations and 300,000 global suppliers, with third-party sources covering ESG, country and geopolitical risk, cyber risk, financial risk, adverse media, and watchlist screening.
This framework creates a continuous view of potential risk exposure to allow users to identify emerging issues earlier. Designed to work alongside existing Achilles supplier due diligence and audit programmes, the system can identify where potential risk sits across a large supplier population, then move selected suppliers into deeper validated assessment, improvement programmes, or independent assurance via audits.
“Organisations are being asked to demonstrate greater control across their full supply chain, but supplier risk is increasingly dynamic and difficult to monitor consistently and cost-effectively at scale,” said Mark Chamberlain, Chief Product Officer at Achilles.
“Achilles Risk Screening gives customers an early view of potential risk across their suppliers, allowing them to take action earlier, focus assurance effort where it matters most, and prevent small issues from becoming costly disruptions.”
