Moody’s Analytics Introduces Solution for Supply Chain Management

Moody’s Analytics announces the launch of Supply Chain Catalyst,
a data and analytics platform for monitoring and managing supply
chain risk. The solution helps organizations identify structural
vulnerabilities and anticipate potential disruptions across their
supply chain by providing a 360-degree view of suppliers across
financial, sustainability, reputational and operational risk
factors.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the fragility of global supply
chains, which are still in a state of disrepair. Recent events
related to the Omicron variant and the military conflict between
Russia and Ukraine have created further bottlenecks in both
production and logistics. Tim Uy, Economist at Moody’s Analytics
notes, “There are significant downside risks to the near-term
outlook for global supply chains, and while companies are
increasingly building resiliency through adequate inventory and
alternative sourcing, they should be prepared for headwinds.”
As supply chains and distribution networks become more complex,
it becomes harder to identify financial and reputational exposures.
Reacting to evidence of vulnerabilities is also fraught as
organizations need to find alternative providers quickly to
minimize business disruptions. This rapid substitution often
exposes a supply chain to the risk of new suppliers with dubious
credentials or high-risk profiles.
Supply Chain Catalyst is a second-generation solution,
integrating risk data on over 400 million entities globally from
the award-winning Orbis database, with industry-leading risk
assessment capabilities, which have long been valued by Moody’s
customers. The combination enables a multi-faceted, robust, and
efficient supplier screening and monitoring process so
organizations can make data-driven procurement transformation
decisions.
“We designed Supply Chain Catalyst to help clients gain a
holistic understanding of their suppliers’ risk profile, build
resiliency, anticipate shocks and minimize disruptions across their
supply chain,” said Carolina Azar, Senior Director at Moody’s
Analytics. “We are particularly proud that Supply Chain Catalyst
also informs our customers’ responsible sourcing and sustainability
strategies, supporting both local and global communities.”
Users of Supply Chain Catalyst can identify suppliers with
weakening financial, sustainability, reputational and operational
risk profiles for risk mitigation. Users can monitor these specific
supply chain risk factors – as well as enterprise-wide risk – by
combining their own knowledge of suppliers with our data and robust
risk analytics, including Moody’s Environmental, Social and
Governance scores and assessments.
