Avetta One Is Helping Companies Uncover and Mitigate Hidden Financial Risks in Supply Chains

New Avetta Business Risk takes global approach by pulling financial information & business data from thousands of sources to drive supply chain resilience

Avetta One Is Helping Companies Uncover and Mitigate Hidden Financial Risks in Supply Chains

OREM, Utah, and HOUSTON—Sept. 13, 2022—Like finding a needle in haystacks all over the world, Avetta®, the leading provider of supply chain risk management (SCRM) software, is helping companies uncover and mitigate hidden financial and business risks in their global supply chains. New Avetta Business Risk in the Avetta One platform goes beyond checking a credit score or financial report; it closely monitors suppliers’ credit strength, financial health, legal proceedings, adverse media, political sanctions and more—all in real-time.

Nearly 48% of all risk events started from supplier financial risk, making it the highest risk factor for the fourth year in a row.


Avetta Business Risk is more than a credit score or a single financial measure in one country. It pulls financial information from 200 data and 30,000 media sources globally, providing information on financial health, payment history, liens, bankruptcies, legal proceedings, media reports of criminal activity/investigations and sanctions data. The data is monitored and updated in real-time.

The system alerts companies when a risk factor changes with a current supplier and provides the most comprehensive way to evaluate a potential supplier’s business and financial risks during the procurement process. The Avetta platform also enables organizations to source new suppliers with lower risks to ensure business continuity and supply chain resilience.

The Avetta One™ Platform is a single-source solution for managing operational, reputational and regulatory compliance risks. The platform reduces risks in safety, liability, sustainability, workforce, cybersecurity and financial areas for corporations, suppliers, contractors and their workers.

“Supply chain risk is at an all-time high while risk tolerance is at an all-time low, particularly as many anticipate an economic downturn,” said Taylor Allis, chief product officer at Avetta. “The addition of Business Risk, along with other recent updates around ESG, worksite safety and subcontractor management, makes Avetta One the industry’s only comprehensive, enterprise risk supply chain management solution.”

Avetta One delivers an unprecedented view of risks through multi-risk analytics, supplier risk trends and supplier performance benchmarking. The platform uses almost two decades of data from millions of collected data points to provide real-time views on risks and delivers alerts on deviations from baseline measures. The analytics software includes customizable, interactive dashboards to gain insights that help build supply chain confidence.

Global approach to financial risk
Avetta Business Risk is powered by Creditsafe, combining global financial data from thousands of resources around 46 risk factors with Avetta’s comprehensive risk profiling system. It provides both a business specific risk score and a global business risk grade. Clients can drill down on any specific risk factor to receive more information when making procurement and supplier decisions.

Avetta Business Risk provides key credit and financial information on nearly 400 million companies in 165 countries with global, real-time data monitoring and alerts to immediately make educated procurement decisions for different contractors or vendors.

Addressing other hidden risks

As part of the Avetta One Platform, Avetta has also bolstered companies’ abilities to view and manage hidden risks in safety, liability, sustainability, workforce and cybersecurity over recent months with major enhancements to its platform. These improvements ensure companies have a resilient and safe supply chain in all areas.

The recent additions include:
• A powerful Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risk mitigation solution that allows companies to reach their sustainability goals faster and with more confidence. The new solution provides a holistic view of ESG status across the entire supply chain. Avetta is the only supply chain company to provide an innovative ESG scoring system that considers individual company goals and global standards in 20 industry trades.

• Workforce Management, the most comprehensive solution to onboard, profile, verify, train and manage site access for supply chain workers.

• Achieving four major ISO standards and the SOC 2 Type II certifications

• Integration with Coupa’s Business Spend Management System. With the Coupa integration, clients can see Avetta compliance status alongside other supplier information within the Coupa Risk Aware module, allowing companies to create custom workflows, such as declining purchase orders from non-compliant suppliers.

• Subcontractor Management, giving clients visibility into their connected suppliers’ subcontractors – both high-spend and low-spend contractors – that may pose additional costly risks when coming onto a client’s site.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
