What can I do with SupplierIQ Profiles?
SupplierIQ Profiles help you quickly access and analyze detailed supplier information to support sourcing, benchmarking and decision-making.
Access key supplier data
Save time gathering supplier information with standardized profiles that include:
Ownership type and revenue trends
Financial health scores
Key NAICS codes and operating markets
Compare suppliers effectively
Use the competitor matrix to benchmark suppliers against others in their market. This helps you assess competitiveness, validate sourcing recommendations and identify suppliers that best fit your needs.
Identify bundling and consolidation opportunities
View all the product and service markets a supplier participates in to uncover bundling opportunities or areas to consolidate your supply base. You can also link directly to related ProcurementIQ Reports to analyze pricing trends and market dynamics.
Incorporate SWOT insights into your analysis
Each profile includes a pre-built SWOT analysis outlining company-specific strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. These can be used to enhance Buying-Decision Scorecards or negotiation materials.
Review comprehensive financial information
Public companies: Access seven years of income statements, balance sheets and cash flow data in a consistent format.
Private companies: Review key benchmarks such as market share, profit margins and supplier diversity metrics to assess financial health and risk.
What’s included in SupplierIQ Profiles?
SupplierIQ Profiles have two chapters: Company Snapshot and Financial Insights.
Company Snapshot
The Company Snapshot chapter includes the following sections.
General Information
The General Information section covers key company details, including:
Ownership type (public or private)
Current year revenue and trend
Level of financial strength
Revenue volatility
Number of employees
Life cycle stage
And more company-specific information.
Product & Service Markets
The Product & Service Markets section covers the markets a company operates in, linking directly to the corresponding Procurement Reports for each market.
The table also covers market share, market share trend, market share concentration, market profitability, profit trend and average vendor risk for each market.
This section helps you better understand a company’s product and service offerings to spot new opportunities and better leverage existing vendor relationships.
Competitor Position
The Competitor Position section helps you contextualize a company’s position across each market it operates in.
It includes a competitor matrix, with the company’s competitive rank, outlook, execution score, operational capabilities score and positional analysis.
You can use the competitor matrix to identify potential risks of working with specific suppliers.
This section also includes Company Execution Score and Operational Capabilities Score tables that stack the company up against competitors in the selected market.
SWOT
The SWOT analysis covers the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats a company faces. You can use this assessment to compare a company to its competitors across a number of different factors, from geographic reach to operational scope. This provides even more context around the company’s position in the competitor matrix.
Financial Insights
The Financial Insights chapter covers the company’s income statements, balance sheet, cash flow and ratios.
Profiles for public companies include up to seven years of annual financial statement data, with downloadable charts and graphs for each section.
Profiles for private companies include data tables with estimated benchmark ranges for each section. The ranges are determined using proxy data from at least 30 public companies with similar characteristics, such as:
Primary and secondary NAICS codes
Annual revenue ranges
Number of employees
Breadth of products and services offered
Geographic footprint and size
Each range includes a confidence rating indicating the expected accuracy of the range. The confidence ratings are based on the number of proxy companies and quality and variability of the data points.
FAQs
What companies have SupplierIQ Profiles?
We have SupplierIQ Profiles for all public and private companies included in US Procurement Reports.
Companies that appear in the EU Procurement Reports only have SupplierIQ Profiles if they also appear in the US collection.
Why can’t I find SupplierIQ Profiles for certain popular companies?
If you can’t find a SupplierIQ Profile for a company, we may not cover it in our collection.
Here are some tips to help you track down the company you’re searching for:
Try searching using the company’s registered name. We typically refer to companies using the registered name rather than the trade name (e.g., “Alphabet Inc.” instead of “Google”)
Try using the company’s parent company or enterprise name. We often refer to companies using the enterprise name (e.g., “Alphabet Inc.” instead of “Waymo”)
Why don’t subsidiaries have their own profiles?
Most company financial data is released at the enterprise level only, making it difficult to accurately estimate financial information for subsidiaries or divisions.
How is company revenue determined?
Public companies: Revenue is based on the figure provided in the company’s latest financial statement.
Private companies: Revenue is estimated based on the revenue of public companies within the same industry and of a similar geographic footprint and size.
Does Product & Service Markets capture all products and services offered by the company?
No. The Product & Service Markets section lists the Procurement Reports in which the company is listed as a top supplier.
How is Average Vendor Risk in Product & Service Markets determined?
Average Vendor Risk represents the average risk level displayed by all suppliers in the market. Average Vendor Risk is evaluated using the Altman Z-Score, which considers three key ratios that influence the probability of bankruptcy.
How do you define the Company Execution Score and Operational Capabilities Score components?
Pricing Power: Based on the Buyer Power Score in markets the company operates in.
Number of Markets: The number of Procurement Reports the company is listed in.
Employees Rating: A company’s number of employees relative to its competitors.
Geographic Footprint: The geographic spread of the company relative to its competitors.
Regulation: The amount of regulation across all markets in which the company operates. We calculate these ratings using our proprietary algorithms that may not always align with other publications’ ranking methodologies.
How are “Strong,” “Moderate” and “Weak” in Competitive Position determined?
Each company’s performance for a given factor is evaluated in two ways:
How the company compares to other top suppliers in the market
How the company performs relative to itself in other markets
We assign numerical scores on a 1–5 scale for each company. After calculating these scores, we determine the average. Companies scoring above the average are rated Strong, those around the average are rated Moderate, and those below the average are rated Weak.
How frequently is Company Snapshot updated?
We review and update Company Snapshots on an annual basis.
What measures are taken to ensure Financial Insights is accurate for private companies?
We continually test and validate the calculation models used to generate private company benchmarks. These models are regularly refined, and our database of proxy public companies is consistently expanded to improve sample size and benchmark accuracy.
We also gather feedback from privately owned clients to validate benchmark accuracy. These clients provide insight into both their own financial benchmarks and those of their suppliers—limited to cases where audited financial statements have been shared.
How frequently are Financial Insights updated?
Public companies: Financial data is updated within one month of receiving new information from our third-party provider, Tagnifi. Tagnifi typically reports new data in the quarter following the date the financials are published.
Private companies: Financial data is updated on a rolling basis, with each profile refreshed at least once per year.
Why are certain clauses included or excluded in the SWOT Analysis?
The SWOT Analysis is automated based on several characteristics that are assessed for all vendors, though the exact combination of levels (e.g., high/medium/low specialization, supply chain risk, etc.) is specific to each vendor.
How do you define and assess factors included in the SWOT Analysis?
Specialization: Determined by the level of specialization indicated in the Procurement Reports a company appears in. Analysts consider how tailored the company’s products or services are to individual buyers.
Geographic footprint: Based on the company’s Geographic Footprint rating in Operational Capabilities, compared to its competitors.
Number of employees: Evaluated by comparing the company’s employee count to those of its competitors.
