New Data Product Available

A new version of this data product is available, which provides an improved and streamlined configuration and publishing experience. See B2B Customers Data Product for more information about this new version.

Contact your account manager or Tamr Support ([email protected]) if you are interested in migrating an existing data product to the new version.

The data product produced by the supplier mastering with D&B template provides a consolidated view of supplier businesses at the granularity of individual sites (headquarters versus satellite offices, for example), and enriches your data with corporate hierarchy and other referential attributes from Dun & Bradstreet. Like data products created with the company mastering with D&B template, you can use this mastered, cleaned, and enriched data to optimize deliveries, allocate resources, target marketing campaigns, and make other decisions driven by location and corporate hierarchy. Additionally, supplier mastering with D&B data products provide insight into your suppliers' risk levels and stability, and into their diversity. For example, you can easily identify which of your suppliers are small businesses, or minority-owned.

The company mastering with D&B data product template includes:

• An industry-standard unified schema for company data.
• A machine learning model that deduplicates entities within, and across, your data sources.
• Data quality services for country code and company name.
• Firmographic enrichment from Dun & Bradstreet, including:
  • D-U-N-S number and additional information provided by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B).
  • Data from the Company Information L2, Hierarchies and Connections L1, Diversity Insights L1, and Third-Party Risk Insights L1 D&B Data Blocks.

Use Cases for this Template

Mastering your data using the supplier mastering with D&B template helps you answer questions like:

• Do you have a complete list of your suppliers, and understand how your organization interacts with them?
• How can you proactively identify and mitigate supply chain risks?
• What opportunities do you have to streamline supplier management?
• Does a supplier meet your company standards for sustainability and corporate responsibility?
• How are your suppliers linked to a domestic or ultimate parent organization? Do multiple suppliers share the same parent organization?
• How many distinct sites are there for a supplier, and which site is closest to your organization or delivery location?
• What is the correct D-U-N-S number for a supplier?
