Supply-R allows for greater responsiveness and increased reliability in the supply chain of different segments of Industry and Services

São Paulo, September 14, 2020 - The Bureau Veritas Group, world leader in Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC), has developed a tool to meet the new challenges of companies in relation to the risk management of disruption in the supply chain. In the midst of the global crisis imposed by the pandemic in 2020, several companies found it difficult to maintain their business continuity due to interruptions in the supply of products or services.

“With economic globalization, supply chains have become larger and more complex, with suppliers spread across the world, making it difficult to track and manage risks for participants and the chain as a whole. Our objective is to support companies, providing useful and objective information that allows the identification of risks of ruptures in the supply chain and enabling decision-making in a timely manner, in order to ensure the continuity of their businesses”, explains Roberto Vidal, director of the Industrial Division of Bureau Veritas”.

Supply-R is a digital platform that enables full visibility at the level of detail needed to support better business decisions and minimize risk. The solution has a customizable modular structure based on assessments that make it possible to identify the resilience and responsiveness to crises of critical suppliers participating in the supply chain. Critical elements such as technical capacity, business continuity vulnerabilities, HSE vulnerability, information security and data integrity, supply chain security, good practices in logistics and inventory control are evaluated.

Founded almost 200 years ago and operating globally, Bureau Veritas has extensive experience in audits, inspections and evaluation of suppliers in all industry and service segments. This new tool will complement and also benefit from Bureau Veritas' vast experience in this field.
