Onboarding is a starting point.
Companies keep changing.
A supplier’s company record can change between reviews. Bring those changes back into your supplier due diligence process, with the context needed to decide what deserves attention.
Understand the relationships
Explore recorded shareholders and group structures. See where different suppliers share a corporate connection.
Bring new filings into view
Know when financial statements become available. Compare reported figures with their periods, currency and source.

From supplier change to informed reviewOne ownership change.
One ownership change.
The wider picture.
Northstar’s recorded corporate shareholder increases its holding. Your agent compares the records, checks the available relationships and prepares a briefing for the supplier owner.
The result connects a company-level change to your wider supplier portfolio, so your team can decide whether related suppliers also need a review.

Built around your supplier list
A clear path from records to review.
- 01
Confirm your coverage
Match suppliers to legal entities. Check supported events, source dates and any unresolved matches before monitoring.
- 02
Set the review conditions
Choose the changes that matter to your team. Define which records the agent should investigate and who should review the result.
- 03
Act on the evidence
Review a briefing that includes the change, company context, supporting records and open questions. Approve the next action.
Supplier due diligence after onboarding
Know what changed. Know what to ask.
A supplier’s trading name is only part of the picture. The registered company behind it can appoint new directors, change shareholders or publish new accounts. Bring those facts into the conversation with the person responsible for that supplier.
| Company change | Why procurement may review it | Useful follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| Recorded legal status changes | The legal entity you contracted with has a different recorded status. | Inspect the official record and ask the supplier owner whether the relationship needs review. |
| Ownership changes | Your previous ownership assessment may no longer describe the current record. | Compare holdings and identify other suppliers connected through the recorded shareholder. |
| Directors or officers change | Your governance information and supplier contacts may need checking. | Review the appointment or resignation details and decide which internal records need updating. |
| New financial statements appear | Your supplier review can use a newer reporting period. | Compare available reported figures and accounting scope, then prepare questions for the supplier. |
Supplier relationships across your portfolio
Different supplier names can share an owner.
A list of suppliers does not show whether those companies are connected. Recorded parent and shareholder relationships help your team understand where several suppliers belong to a common corporate structure.
In the example above, Alder Holdings appears in three supplier records. The ownership change is relevant to Northstar’s review, while the shared shareholder gives procurement a reason to inspect the wider relationship.
Company counts describe the recorded connections. Measuring purchasing concentration also requires your spend, contract or category data; a corporate link alone cannot establish operational dependency.
Understand the ownership evidence →Make the pilot useful to procurement
Start with a representative supplier list.
- Resolve the legal entities. Include registration numbers, countries and your internal supplier references.
- Inspect actual coverage. Check which suppliers have usable company, people, ownership and financial records.
- Review a meaningful change. Confirm that the evidence answers a question a supplier owner would otherwise need to investigate.
- Measure preparation work. Track analyst time and the proportion of findings that lead to a useful supplier review.
A few useful details
Supplier intelligence, explained.
What is supplier intelligence in CompanyDelta?
Supplier intelligence is a sourced view of the legal companies behind your supplier list. CompanyDelta brings together available registered details, status, directors, officers, shareholders, group structures and financial filings. Supplier monitoring identifies changes; investigations help your team understand and review them.
How does supplier monitoring support supplier due diligence?
It extends the company-record review beyond onboarding. A procurement analyst can investigate a status change, new owner or financial filing using the previous and updated records. The supplier owner then decides whether further questions, additional checks or an internal update are needed.
Is this a complete supplier risk monitoring platform?
This solution covers company records, governance, ownership and filed financial information. It does not provide a complete picture of supplier performance, delivery reliability, cyber exposure, sanctions or ESG. Use these company-record findings alongside the other information your procurement process requires.
What does the procurement AI agent actually do?
The investigation uses the available company snapshots and detected events to prepare a sourced explanation. For an ownership change, it can compare the recorded holdings and summarise the supported relationships. Your team reviews the evidence and controls the next action. Live investigations require configured data and AI connections.
Can you identify suppliers in the same corporate group?
Available parent and shareholder records can reveal corporate connections across your portfolio. A common shareholder, a recorded parent and a shared director are different types of relationship. Each needs to be presented with its evidence; a similar name or common address is not enough to establish group membership.
Can we use this with our existing supplier management system?
Keep your internal supplier reference against each matched company. Your technical team can use the API and webhooks to bring company events into an existing process. Connector configuration, access permissions and delivery behaviour should be tested before a live workflow depends on them.
Does supplier intelligence include credit ratings or scores?
No. CompanyDelta uses registry and financial data, including comparisons of reported figures where available. Partner credit ratings, credit limits and composite supplier scores are outside this product. A financial movement is a reason to investigate, not a prediction of payment or delivery performance.
How frequently can suppliers be checked?
The workspace supports on-demand company checks. Recurring monitoring requires an active data connection and a configured schedule. Source updates vary by jurisdiction and dataset. A failed or incomplete check needs to remain visible so that an absence of new findings is not mistaken for a successful check.
What should we provide for an initial evaluation?
Start with a supplier list containing country, registration number where known and your own reference. Use the sample workspace to explore the review experience. For live evaluation, configure the data connection, resolve uncertain matches and check field availability before deciding which supplier changes to monitor.
