Supply chain resilience is central to tackling major disruptions and enhancing the competitiveness of businesses amidst global economic uncertainties. Along with the imperative need to validate all modes and functions of supply chains, businesses are expected to implement sustainable strategies to take a step closer to net zero.

To fulfill this, organizations constantly search for partners that can capacitate them with validated supply chains and provide the necessary insights to comply with environmental, social and governance (ESG) regulations and meet stakeholder requirements.

Achilles is an industry-leading supply chain risk management expert providing efficient analysis and logistic insights with a prime focus on sustainability.

It excels in offering a verified network of suppliers to buyers across various industries, including financial, industrial, commercial and governmental organizations. Through a rigorous selection process involving detailed analysis, site audits, worker interviews and ESG scoring, the company delivers exceptional environmental, social and governance reporting confidence. This allows buyers to have real-time data on the supplier in a region for the distribution of their products.

“Our comprehensive analysis and realtime data enable buyers with critical risk assessment and decision-making abilities to choose efficient suppliers for supply chain solutions,” says Eduardo Osorio Linazasoro, marketing director of LATAM at Achilles.

Achilles manages the supply chain risks for global brands and ensures supplier adherence to critical policies like carbon footprint reduction, due diligence and gender equality.

It does so by performing data validation through its 17 offices across the world. In Latin America alone, the company has offices in multiple regions, including Mexico, Chile and Argentina.

Its proprietary software offers analytics dashboards that can be customized from scratch to suit customer needs. With an easy-to-use interface and bespoke modules, it provides buyers with information about their distribution chain and vendors, as well as allows suppliers to distinguish themselves through its comprehensive scoring procedure.

Committed to delivering personalized services and precise data, the company effectively integrates its processes into the client’s operations by understanding their requirements. This way, Achilles becomes an extension of the client’s processes.

Focused on an approach that strives to infuse equity and justice in all buyer-supplier collaborations, Achilles’ operations uphold values of transparency and sustainability throughout the procurement and sales processes.

Achilles’ operational excellence is exemplified by its successful track record. In one instance, the company fully integrated its solution into the procurement and selling processes of a major oil and gas company in Latin America. It developed a scoring system to assist their purchasing decisions and sales forecasts. This enabled the client to effectively use data across operations. The outcome Achilles generated not only benefited the client but also elevated industry standards for suppliers, motivating them to perform and compete better.

A standout aspect is the company’s radical transparency and meticulous due diligence process. Achilles’ diverse team of regional auditors, equipped with ISO certifications, undertakes numerous audits and inspections to verify the authenticity of their supplier network. Comprising local people from different regions, its audit team is well aware of the domestic market and its possibilities, ensuring the reliability of information for customers.

Through tailored webinars and courses, Achilles eases the onboarding process, helping clients better understand the software’s interface. The platform also comes loaded with training modules and video tutorials that allow them to maximize the platform’s functionalities for their business. Achilles’ software has been translated into 20 languages and is backed by a global technical support team.

Achilles is exploring the possibilities of AI integration in its data analytics module. Its commitment to innovation, tailored solutions and sustainability is second to none. By providing businesses with transparent and data-driven supply chain risk management solutions, the company builds successful and resilient logistic collaborations
