Achilles reports that it has agreed a long-term partnership with e-procurement platform Procureship to improve supply chain transparency.
Through this agreement, Procureship users will be able to access Achilles’ services to assess supplier sustainability performance. Suppliers will also have the option to display their Achilles score following an independent assessment.
The scores will be reflected in Procureship’s supplier profiles and search results, allowing buyers to evaluate supplier sustainability credentials when reviewing quotations.
The Achilles Maritime Network offers shipowners and managers a platform to reduce risks and improve supply chain visibility, with standardised processes and supplier pre-qualification. Its members include BW LNG and LPG, Odfjell, Seapeak, and Seasourcing.
“The aim of Achilles is to ensure that procurement professionals within the shipping sector have a streamlined purchasing process that improves visibility, drives ESG metrics and increases process efficiency,” said Paul Stanley, CEO, Achilles.
“Including supplier sustainability data within an e-commerce platform like Procureship, cements this strategy with a simplified, yet robust process.”
Procureship provides purchasing services for more than 100 fleet owners and operators, including BW LNG, Angelicoussis Group, Oldendorff Carriers, Starbulk Group, TB Marine, and Technomar.
