Know which suppliers need action first

Prewave Scoring combines everything our AI knows about a supplier with the data you add, creating a continuously updated supplier score. Rather than a global rating, scoring covers the risks your team chose to track, weighted to suit your business.

Industry leaders managing supplier risk with Prewave

Build risk processes on one score, weighted how you decide

Scored as it happens

Prewave’s agents score a new incident the moment our monitoring detects it. This is combined with the structural risk drivers that shape a supplier’s profile over time.

One number to decide on

Every risk category you track, from compliance to disruption, is consolidated as one severity score. You’ll always know which suppliers to act on first.

Built into your systems

Your audits and third-party data are combined with Prewave’s risk data, with the final score flowing back into the systems your team already uses.

The worst risks stay visible

A supplier’s strong performance in one risk category never cancels a serious problem in another. As such, a single critical red flag is not averaged away.

How it works

1. Benchmark

Every supplier has a score from day one

Scoring starts from where a supplier operates, the industry it operates in, and the goods it produces. 

Specialist agents build those industry and commodity registers from continuous monitoring, while independent supply chain experts verify them.

2. Model

Score the site, not the region

Two plants in the same country can carry very different risk profiles. 

Using peer-reviewed scientific data on global exposure, specialist agents give the probability of a damaging event at that specific site.

3. Weight

Decide what counts, and how much

You choose which risks belong in a perspective, from forced labour to natural disasters. You can also define heavily each category factors into the final score. 

The same supplier will then show one score for compliance and another for resilience.

4. Enrich

The data you already pay for counts

Your Moody’s, Dun & Bradstreet or Coface data, alongside your audits and your own qualification records, feed the score directly. 

This means the data you source builds the complete risk picture, rather than sitting in a separate tab.

5. Surface

Keep the worst risk in view

Strong performance in one risk category does not cancel out a serious problem in another. 

Ongoing events at a supplier influence the score over time. For example, a confirmed insolvency takes it straight to the highest risk category.

Product Update

Why the bar for supplier risk scoring keeps moving

For most of the last decade, supplier risk scoring meant pulling country indices, sector ratings and audit findings into a dashboard. 

That worked when risk was a quarterly conversation. However, now that disruption lands more often, site-level data has caught up.
