Supplier trust score
A weighted measure of a supplier's reliability, drawn from verification status, registry health, payment history and dispute behaviour, expressed as a single score with a trend.
A supplier trust score is a single, weighted measure of how reliable a supplier is, drawn from signals such as verification status, registry health, payment and delivery history, dispute behaviour and responsiveness. It is expressed as one figure with a trend, so a change in standing is visible at a glance.
Finance teams already make trust judgements about suppliers, but usually informally and in one person's head. A score makes the judgement explicit, consistent and comparable across a supplier base, and grounds it in observed behaviour rather than reputation or familiarity.
Its value comes from the breadth of data behind it. A score built from network-wide behaviour, rather than one buyer's limited experience, reflects how a supplier actually performs across many relationships.
Accounting Links combines verification, registry health and observed payment behaviour into a supplier trust score with a trend, so changes in a supplier's standing surface early.
