Suppliers Across your organisation there are multiple stakeholders in contact with your supply base, from Procurement, Project and Line Managers to Sales and Marketing teams. Each stakeholder has created a trail of data about your suppliers. All of this information, when collated, gives you unimagined insights into past supplier behaviour. This can then be leveraged as a predictor for future supplier behaviour.

Customers Data is powerful. You collect it from Sales and Marketing, Customer Service and Call Centre functions. How your customers engage on your website and what they say about you on social media is really valuable. This information, when collated and analysed, allows you to visualise ways your customers are engaging with your organisation and brand, giving you the opportunity to predict future customer trends to capitalise on, faster than any of your competitors.
