  • Publication number: 20190026668
    Abstract: Included are systems and methods for determining diversity spend credit for parties in a supply chain. The systems and methods can include receiving diversity spend data for parties in the supply chain and iteratively determining, for each party in the supply chain, an amount of diversity spend credit that is directly or indirectly attributable, through the supply chain, to the purchase of goods or services from a diverse party in the supply chain, which can include multiple parties that buy or sell a good or service to one another. The diversity spend credit can be determined in real time as each party reports diversity spend data, and alerts or reports can be generated if threshold diversity levels for one or multiple diversity categories are crossed. The systems and methods can include generating alternative suppliers to meet diversity objectives.
