Beroe is continuing the evolution of their platform by developing a compliance module that includes both suppliers and buyers. In this initial stage of the new module, we are engaging with select customers and suppliers to in shaping the future stages of the platform.

The Beroe LiVE platform is developing the capability of enabling supplier monitoring and discovery, which are key areas of concern for procurement professionals. In this initial stage of the platform, Beroe is focusing on surfacing data which already exists with our data partners. In the next stage in early Q1 2019, customers will be able to request additional assessments from suppliers based on risk analysis completed within the platform

• In the initial stage, data requests will be available on Financial Risk. Additional data partners will be available at subsequent stages of the platform
• Beroe has or is developing partnerships with key vendors who will provide assessment on the listed Compliance parameters. These partners include D&B, Rapid Ratings, EcoVadis, Achilles, CSRHub.
• You will be able to review data from the available partners in a central location in the Beroe platform. The next stage of the platform includes active monitoring and additional assessment request options.
• Additional stages will also include the ability to evaluate risk on a list of suppliers and to discover new suppliers based on defined criteria.

Beroe will manage the whole process on your behalf at no cost

Beroe is committed to maintaining security in regard to proprietary information. Other procurement teams will not be able to view or access the suppliers you have uploaded, search for, or send them requests. Each company has a unique identifier that ensures no unauthorized users access their data

The initial email to suppliers will come from the procurement companies to the suppliers selected to participate in this initial stage. Beroe will provide the email template. Suppliers will then receive an automated email from the platform with their unique company profile link and instructions to log in. 

If there is no response to the invitation to join, Beroe will follow up with suppliers to encourage them to register and complete the request.  

If there is no response from suppliers to requests and follow ups, the point of contact within the Procurement Organization will be given the information for subsequent follow up requirements

The primary central dashboard includes information on pending purchasing requests sent to suppliers that have not yet been processed in the “Pending” tab. There will also be a “Shared” tab that displays a list of suppliers that have completed their data requests with the ability to drill down to their profiles. Additionally, there is a “Declined” tab with the list of suppliers who registered but declined to purchase the data option. 

The supplier profile will be considered as basic company information and a contact in the initial stage. Each stage will increase the supplier profile options to allow for a central location to review details on the supplier. This can include specialities, additional certifications, audits the supplier has completed, relevant policies, etc.

In future stages you will see watch lists for monitoring, a recommendation engine that will assess risk on a supplier list, and recommended assessments for risk mitigation.

You will not receive an email when a supplier unlocks the requested data. We encourage you to log in to see the progress of your supplier list. Additional controls of email notifications will be in future stages.
