Solution · Supplier 360

Every supplier, resolved to one golden record

The same vendor is duplicated across your ERP, procurement and AP with different names and IDs. SCIKIQ resolves them into one governed supplier record - parent and subsidiaries - then gives you live spend, risk, reliability and next-best-action on top.

01The hard part

First, resolve the supplier — or the 360 is a lie

The same vendor shows up five ways across five systems - different names, tax IDs and casing; a global parent tangled with its local entities. SCIKIQ resolves them into one governed golden supplier - deterministic and probabilistic, with survivorship and lineage.

Different names, tax IDs and casing - no shared key. An ERP treats these as five vendors, splitting spend and hiding risk.

So what

Total spend, risk and reliability are only trustworthy on a resolved, deduped supplier. Skip it and your spend is split across five vendor rows and the risk hides in the gaps.

02Why SCIKIQ

A real 360 — not a report or a stale extract

Supplier 360LIVE
05Predictive & AI

Not just what happened — what happens next

Every profile carries live model scores, computed on the governed graph.

Supply risk

A live disruption and financial-distress score with the drivers - so you act before the line stops.

Spend forecast

Projected spend and savings opportunity per supplier and category.

Next best action

A ranked, explainable move - consolidate, dual-source, renegotiate - and an agent to run it.

Category leverage

Where consolidation and tail-spend rationalisation free the most cash.

06Ask the 360

Talk to the 360 in plain language

Ask about risk, value or the next move — answered from the governed profile with citations, voice input and read-aloud. The answer follows whichever supplier is selected above.

07One foundation

The same engine powers every 360

Entity resolution, the golden record, the graph and the copilot are not domain-specific. One foundation builds a 360 of any entity that matters.

08The payoff

Know your suppliers - and de-risk them

A resolved, predictive, governed supplier 360 changes what procurement can do.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Supplier 360 view?

A Supplier 360 resolves every supplier scattered across D&B, ERP vendor master, procurement and AP into one golden record, then puts a live view of spend, supply risk and reliability on top of it. Because it is built on a governed semantic layer, every figure has one definition and traces back to its source system.

How does SCIKIQ build a Supplier 360 without replatforming?

SCIKIQ connects to D&B, ERP vendor master, procurement and AP where they already run and resolves entities in place. There is no migration step: the golden record is assembled over your existing systems, so you keep them and still get one governed view.

How long does a Supplier 360 take to deploy?

Typical deployments reach a live 360 view in about 60 days. Most teams start with one domain, validate the resolved records against what they already trust, and expand from there.
