Compliance is a moving target.

Not all suppliers have the resources to meet your compliance standards.

apexanalytix Conductor solves this by giving suppliers the power to identify and self-manage their risk while being more effective in day-to-day business.

What is Conductor?

Conductor is a platform that enables suppliers to be better partners to you and helps them orchestrate business across all apexanalytix buyer portals.

Conductor also empowers suppliers to identify and proactively manage critical business risks. Using AI, Conductor provides insights to suppliers on where they can take action to reduce their risk.

This, in turn, reduces your risk.

Improving supplier collaboration while effortlessly reducing risk.

By encouraging, or even incentivizing your suppliers to use Conductor, you introduce them to a tool that:

 

  • Enables suppliers to be more responsible for managing their risk
  • Offers suppliers visibility into critical business alerts for banking, cyber and fraud dimensions
  • Unburdens your team from the full weight of supplier risk management, shifting the responsibility to the supplier.

Boosting supplier efficiency and risk awareness.

Conductor offers your suppliers free features to add ease to the day-to-day work within their customer portals, as well as making them more aware of their company risk signals.

Critical Business Alerts

Critical Business Alerts tell suppliers about their risk signals, so they can begin the remediation process without your involvement. Think of them like the personal alerts you get for credit monitoring or identity theft, but for a supplier's business.

Improved Portal Workflows

Conductor is the new "front door" for suppliers, where they can see tasks and invoices across each apexanalytix-powered buyer portal they are connected to. From Conductor, suppliers can easily SSO into individual portals to upload invoices or complete tasks to meet your specific requirements.

Risk Index Visibility

Conductor surfaces a supplier's risk information for them and recommends actions for risk resolution and improvement. Suppliers will see comprehensive risk profiles across cyber, resilience, and continuity dimensions, and be prompted to take action to become less risky business partners for you.

Will suppliers be required to use Conductor?

Using Conductor is purely opt-in for suppliers.

Conductor provides suppliers with more insight and recommendations to better run their business across Risk, Business Continuity (e.g. Cyber, Sustainability) and Data Management operations.

The existing channels and process for your Portal and data requirements (for example, your uniquely configured Supplier Registration program) remain and will not be impacted or changed.

Do suppliers have to pay for Conductor?

There is a free version of Conductor that will be available to all suppliers. A paid version of Conductor, called Conductor+, is available for suppliers who want more frequent data refreshes on their Critical Business Alerts or risk profiles, as well as the ability to monitor and manage the risk of their business partners.

Why is the Conductor UI different than my Portal UI?

Great news! The Portal UX is also being updated, so that suppliers will enjoy a seamless user experience between Portal and Conductor. These updates will improve both the buyer-side UI, and what the supplier experiences when they access your Portal.

While you can control when new features go live in your environment, the supplier registration screens will be available at the same time Conductor goes live. More screens and processes within Portal will come in subsequent Portal releases.

How will my company benefit from Conductor?

Conductor will improve supplier adoption of your portal, increases security, and reduces supplier risk. It is an extension of our current Portal offering. You can think of Conductor as a new feature of your Portal that provides more resources and visibility to your suppliers.

Every supplier presents risk to their customers. However, suppliers have very little visibility into critical issues such as data breaches, regulation violations, or if there is a problem with one of their own suppliers. Suppliers want the information and tools necessary to remediate these issues without their customers having to intervene. Conductor gives that visibility to suppliers and helps them resolve their own risks before those risks dirupt their customer relationships.

Will Conductor discourage my suppliers from using my Portal?

No, in fact,  suppliers tell us they are more likely to interact with a portal when they can access it from a central location. There, they get visibility to all their open action items, and respond more quickly than when they have to log into multiple portals.  Conductor helps them stay on top of their action items and seamlessly navigates them to your portal whenever you need them.

Your current and future program resides within Portal, which will continue to see functional and UI roadmap improvements. Suppliers can always directly navigate to your portal if they prefer. Even when supplier is a Conductor user, the Conductor application will direct them to your Portal when necessary.
