How FlockScore Works: An Easy Way to Share and Access Supplier Performance Data

Procurement teams invest heavily in supplier performance management - tracking KPIs, maintaining supplier scorecards, and reviewing performance trends. But those insights rarely leave the walls of a single company. For new or less familiar suppliers, you often don't have any data at all.

FlockScore changes that. It's the first supplier evaluation platform designed to create collective intelligence by making supplier performance data safe to share, easy to access, and actionable. Here's how it works in practice and why it's designed to be effortless.

1. Sign Up and Confirm Your Company

Getting started takes just a few minutes. During account setup, the most important step is confirming your company and how you'd like to collaborate:

• Single entity - keep credits and scorecards tied to your specific business unit.
• Group collaboration - pool credits and supplier insights across your wider corporate group.

This flexibility reflects how procurement is structured in the real world, ensuring the supplier rating system adapts to your organization, not the other way around.

2. Contribute to Access

FlockScore runs on a contribute-to-access model: the more you share, the more value you unlock. After login, you can:

• Add a supplier review for a company already in the database.
• Introduce a new supplier by adding them with your review.
• Bulk upload internal scorecard data to contribute at scale.
• Or, if you don't have feedback to add, you can request a pure AI screening for a new supplier.

Every contribution earns you credits. Reviews remain fully anonymous, with FlockScore securely handling all verification and aggregation. This means you can confidently share data to strengthen the collective pool of peer-driven supplier insights.

3. Explore Supplier Scorecards

With credits earned (or purchased), you can explore suppliers through the Supplier Overview page. Unlocking a scorecard gives you full access for 12 months.

Each scorecard blends two perspectives into a single, aggregated FlockScore:

• Peer-driven supplier insights - candid feedback from procurement teams worldwide.
• Predictive intelligence - AI analysis of external signals such as certifications, awards, and risk events, giving you early warning indicators for supplier risk management.

The result is a transparent, high-level picture of supplier performance across categories like Quality, Delivery, Service, Sustainability, Compliance, and more. A true supplier rating system for procurement.

Why It Matters

In just a few steps, procurement teams gain access to supplier performance intelligence that no single company could build alone. The model is:

1. Simple - sign up, contribute, and access insights.
2. Fair - credits ensure everyone who contributes, benefits.
3. Powerful - FlockScore combines peer reviews with predictive AI for a complete view of supplier performance.

This means:

• Smarter sourcing decisions with less effort.
• Earlier visibility into supplier risks.
• A community-driven effect that raises supplier performance standards industry-wide.
