What is the Market Dashboard?
The Market Dashboard is an in-platform tool that allows you to filter markets and categories to quickly identify opportunities, mitigate risks and optimize your sourcing strategies across your portfolio.
What can I do with the Market Dashboard?
With the Market Dashboard, you can filter our entire Procurement Report collection by the following preset filters to target markets based on your procurement needs:
Filter name | Definition |
Buy Now | Purchase environments that are projected to worsen over the next year. |
Buy Later | Purchase environments that are projected to improve over the next year. |
Low Supplier Diversity | Markets with few opportunities to source from women-, veteran- and minority-owned businesses. |
High Supplier Diversity | Markets with strong opportunities to source from women-, veteran- and minority-owned businesses. |
Low Supply Chain Risk | Markets with low supply chain risk. |
High Supply Chain Risk | Markets with high supply chain risk. |
Low BPS | Seller’s markets where the current year Buyer Power Score is less than or equal to 0. |
High BPS | Buyer’s markets where the current year Buyer Power Score is greater than 0. |
Cost Saving Opportunities | Markets with increasing buyer power, high price volatility and declining price forecasts that enable proactive cost reduction. |
Sustainable Sources | Markets with high vendor risk, high market share concentration and medium-to-high ESG trends that support due diligence on ethical sourcing. |
High-Risk Suppliers | Markets with decreasing buyer power, high average vendor risk, high market share concentration and rising prices that signal the need for negotiations or contracts before costs increase. |
Low-Risk Suppliers | Markets with decreasing buyer power, low market share concentration and low supply chain risk that support competitive bidding and spending consolidation. |
Additional features include:
Filter by region: Switch between US and European categories and markets in the menu at the top right of the tool.

How can I download report lists?
You can download the report list from the Market Dashboard as a CSV file. Apply your desired filters, then select CSV at the bottom left of the data table. The exported file will include the filtered data.
Is the Market Dashboard replacing the Data Wizard?
The Market Dashboard is a temporary replacement for the Data Wizard. A more advanced version of the Data Wizard is in development.
How often is the data updated?
The data in the Market Dashboard reflects the most recent data in our Procurement Reports.
Does the Market Dashboard support Europe and Canada?
The Market Dashboard supports Europe, but not Canada. To switch to the Europe view, you can select EU in the upper right corner of the tool.
Can I save multiple different views using the Watchlist?
This feature is currently unavailable, but we intend to track its interest and may explore adding it in the future.
How can I add a report to my Watchlist?
