World Procurement Awards

World Procurement Awards 2022

The Trust Your Supplier team attended the awards ceremony on June 15, 2022.

The evening was full of fun and glamour as our team made connections and re-connected with procurement members and partners. We were honored that Trust Your Supplier was shortlisted in the Technology Innovation category amongst such an impressive group of fellow nominees.

Trust Your Supplier’s nomination was recognition by Procurement Leaders for our work as one of the “innovative solutions in the technology space that are changing the status quo and solving unique and long-standing problems faced by the procurement function.”  

Our parent company, Chainyard, specializes in building blockchain solutions that solve business problems.  Procurement and compliance teams rely on massive amounts of supplier and third party data to make strategic decisions. Data that is not secure cannot be trusted.  

We chose blockchain technology because the records of all transactions are stored within one immutable platform and are accessible at any given point in time with version control, change history, and audit logs.  Data Security = Trust 

FAQ: Why Blockchain?

Frequently Asked Question: Why did Trust Your Supplier choose blockchain technology for our platform?

Trust Your Supplier (TYS) chose blockchain technology because of its unparalleled ability to ensure data integrity, security, transparency, and auditability. Blockchain enables secure and efficient data exchange between stakeholders, enhancing compliance and decision-making processes.

Blockchain also enhances auditability by maintaining a tamper-proof record of all transactions and interactions. Every change and update is recorded in a chronological, unchangeable ledger, making it easy to trace the history and origin of data. This comprehensive audit trail simplifies compliance with regulatory requirements and facilitates internal and external audits.

In essence, blockchain technology empowers TYS to deliver a robust, reliable, and innovative solution for supplier and risk management, helping businesses achieve greater efficiency, confidence, and accountability in their supplier management operations.

The Case for a Universally Consumable Supplier Identity

Trust Your Supplier sessions at FORGE: Digital Futures 2022

This year at Procurement Foundry’s FORGE: Digital Futures event, the theme was “Elevating Procurement to Digital Gamechanger”. We invited Dr. Elouise Epstein to share her thoughts on the future of Supplier Identity, followed by a lunch and learn on How Trust Your Supplier is Enabling the Future of Digital Identity.

Dr. Elouise Epstein gave a powerful and relatable story of the need for a digital wallet and why the work we are doing at Trust Your Supplier is so important. This session, along with our Lunch & learn session, is available for you to watch here.

At Trust Your Supplier, we are using our network and technology to bring a single source of truth to supplier information management. We work with organizations that have challenges with unreliable supplier data, a fragmented view of supplier metrics, and a lengthy cycle time. 

If this rings true for you, we’d like an opportunity to learn more about your challenges and share how we’ve helped similar clients. Let us know if you or your team are interested in setting up a quick meeting to discuss. We’d be happy to connect.

Blockchain in Healthcare

Another example of how blockchain solves business problems.  

Blockchain in healthcare has become extremely relevant when it comes to purchasing medical equipment. Fake PPEs were a constant obstacle in obtaining the necessary equipment for hospitals and clinics in 2020 and beyond.  Supplier qualification and supply chain diversification have now become a necessity, with Trust Your Supplier being a “key player in this space.”
