Building the data foundation Effective AI applications require robust data infrastructure. At Xometry Europe, this means maintaining comprehensive longitudinal data on partners, including historical performance, order execution and collaboration patterns.“ In our view, the most effective supplier analytics capabilities are built on a fully custom ERP ecosystem rather than an off-the-shelf platform,” says Iana. A dedicated analytics team collects, aggregates, cleanses and enriches this data, transforming raw inputs into structured insights.
However, building this foundation presents challenges. Jan-Dirk Albers, Principal and Supplier Risk Management expert at Inverto says:“ Typically, the main challenge is not the lack of data, but ensuring data quality, integration, analytical capability and organisational adoption.”
Common obstacles include incomplete data across systems, fragmented information and insufficient analytical capabilities.
“ With structured data, right-sized AI solutions and a skilled workforce, supplier data analytics will lead to measurable business impact,” Jan-Dirk adds.
