SpendHQ Launches Supplier Risk Solution to Help Companies Proactively Protect Their Global Supply Chain

New Solution Gives Procurement Teams Real-Time Insights to Protect Organizations from Financial Instability, Cyber Threats, and Supply Chain Disruptions

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SpendHQ, the leading Spend Intelligence and Performance Management provider, today announced the launch of its Supplier Risk Management solution that helps companies stay ahead of supply chain disruptions by proactively monitoring supplier risks across financial, geopolitical, and operational factors.

With 90% of supply chain leaders saying that they have encountered supply chain challenges in the past year and 60% reporting financial losses due to supply chain delays, proactive supplier risk management is no longer optional—it’s essential.

“Procurement teams face growing complexity as supplier relationships increase and supply chain risks intensify,” said Scott Macfee, CEO of SpendHQ. “This solution unites intelligence from leading procurement and supply chain risk providers, equipping teams to mitigate supplier risks related to financial health, cybersecurity, ESG compliance, and more.”
