Coupa Supply Chain Design & Planning vs. D&B Risk Analytics

LLamasoft Supply Chain Guru is appropriate for teaching network, transportation modeling. It is very easy to learn and use.

It would be great to make National ID as mandatory info when adding a company into the D&B Risk Analytics database.

• Easy to learn. The help menu is self-explanatory.
• Very easy to import and export data and has multiple ways of modeling.
• Nice visualizations.

Incentivized

• Robust insight on financial health.
• Continuous monitoring & alerts.
• Predictive measurers that are quantifiable.

• Community user group
• Free, accessible training
• Simulation to solve the problem...not just to test the optimized solution against

Incentivized

• Finding the correct entity in D&B. There are usually tons of D&B #s for one entity.
• ESG ratings still need work.
• We are still determining internally what the best practice is for these financial health ratings. What does it mean for us?

D&B Risk Analytics contains all information I need to do my job well and has a daily updated scores to reflect the financial situation.

We evaluated a ton of other solutions; With some solutions, I liked their simulation aspects better. Coupa (formerly LLamasoft), can model with a duration-based service level target. That was the only solution I saw that offered that service level definition (Type 1: event-based, or Type 2: Quantity based)

I am not sure. We also use Bitsight for cybersecurity, but I do not personally use it, so I cannot say.

• Service level up
• Inventory down
• Sensing issues with our supply chain in near real-time

Incentivized

• We have had the solution for less than a year, so it is tough to say how much positive/negative impact it has had.
• We are now able to continuously monitor some entities in our supplier base. We were not able to do this before.
