Vendor Failures Cause Supply Chain Chaos
Companies lose millions when critical vendors go bankrupt, commit fraud, or face regulatory issues. Finance teams lack tools to monitor vendor health beyond initial due diligence. By the time news breaks, it is too late to find alternatives. Manual monitoring of 100+ vendors is impossible. Credit reports are outdated and miss emerging risks.
