Improving supplier discovery and evaluation is crucial in 2021
Rising disruptions in the global supply chain are driving companies to look to build more resilient supply chains. This often means discovering and securing additional suppliers to mitigate potential risk and avoid disruptions.
The process of finding and understanding supplier data is slow, arduous, and frustrating. Data is often scattered, unreliable, and hard to find. The large amounts of data, and frequent gaps in that data, make it difficult to benchmark and compare suppliers. This, in turn, slows decision making and leads to misinformed, costly supply chain decisions.

Discovering new, reliable suppliers is a crucial way to mitigate risk, improve supply chain resilience, and access new, innovative companies. Craft Compare allows users to search for suppliers they would like to compare, and then automatically generates suggested suppliers based on their selection.
