Cost and supplier risk

Spot cost and supplier risks before they hit margin or delivery

StableScore AI connects goods receipts, invoices and material master data, detects rising lead times, price surcharges and critical dependencies, and recommends the next step for purchasing.

The operational problem

Risk signals are scattered across many systems

A longer lead time shows up in goods receipts, a new surcharge on an invoice, the missing alternative in the material master. On their own these signals look minor. Together they often only become visible once costs have already risen or a delivery fails.

Relevant data

Data for an early risk assessment

  • Goods receipts and delivery dates (ERP)
  • Purchase orders, invoices and surcharges
  • Material master and sources of supply
  • Supplier ratings

Step by step

How the risk assessment is built

  1. 01

    Connect the data

    Delivery dates, goods receipts, invoices and surcharges are brought together per supplier and item.

  2. 02

    Detect deviations

    Rising lead times, repeated price surcharges and quantity deviations are compared with past performance.

  3. 03

    Assess dependencies

    The material master shows where an item has only one approved source of supply and how many items are affected.

  4. 04

    Recommend the next step

    Purchasing receives a recommendation with reasons, such as requesting a second source, renegotiating surcharges or adjusting the order timing, with a clear owner.

Concrete output

An explained risk assessment per supplier and item

The result shows which signals coincide, which items are affected and which purchasing step makes sense now.

Success measure

Supplier risks addressed in time, supply disruptions avoided and surcharges renegotiated
