Supplier incident monitoring

EiQ provides an AI-powered solution that continuously scans global media sources to detect adverse incidents involving your suppliers. This solution blends advanced machine learning with human expertise to deliver near real‑time risk monitoring, and resolving the timelapse of standard audits, which often only provide a snapshot into supplier performance.

EiQ’s incident monitoring tool supports your supplier screening process and provides a scalable, ongoing review that offers more dynamic coverage than once-a-year assessments. EiQ's incidents module help you to:

Screen and select new suppliers: Identify potential risks before onboarding.
Identify risks in real-time: Detect emerging issues as they occur.
Receive alerts on critical concerns as they are detected: Receive immediate notifications for severe issues like forced labour that conventional audits might overlook.
Inform spot-check audits: Prioritise further inspections and targeted reviews.
Enhance reporting: Strengthen both internal and external risk management communications with beyond-audit incidents data.

EiQ scans hundreds of thousands of data points every month from sources including:

New search engines

(i.e. Google, Baidu)

Unique local news sources

in key sourcing regions

Specialised press

(i.e. Business and Human Rights Resource Centre, Violation Tracker, and others)

External compliance datasets

(i.e. BetterWork)

Sanction lists
