Achilles vs Supplira

Achilles is a supplier risk and engagement platform for managing supplier and third-party risk and supporting performance improvement. Its coverage includes ESG, financial stability, health and safety, human rights, adverse media, sanctions, and carbon emissions. The company says it combines verified data, structured assessments, ongoing monitoring, and supplier engagement. Buyers in its shared network can reuse supplier assessments, while suppliers receive feedback and improvement pathways across customers. Achilles Enterprise offers tailored data collection and analysis, configurable scoring and alerts, and a private network. Achilles says it operates in more than 140 countries and supports more than 30 languages. Suppliers can join Achilles Network free; the listed plan includes one questionnaire and searchable membership for buying organisations. The maker says registered suppliers can become visible to over 200 buyers in less than 24 hours. Its mobile app provides access to sustainability scores, alerts, and profile information, including questionnaires, certificates, and documents. The app is available in English and Spanish for iOS and Android. Achilles says the platform pairs digital tools with expert support. Pricing is on request, and a free supplier network membership is available.

Supplira is a web-based supplier-risk tool for Nordic and EU teams. It helps assess suppliers, manage findings and remediation, and follow inherent and residual risk over time. Built-in templates cover NIS2 supplier risk, ISO 27001, GDPR Article 28 in full and lite versions, and concentration risk; teams can customize templates or make their own. Suppliers can answer questionnaires through a link without creating a portal account.

Findings contribute to risk tracking, while closing findings reduces the visible residual-risk position. Executive reports summarize current risk posture, highest residual-risk suppliers, finding themes, overdue work, and recommended actions. Account activity and assessment history support internal review and follow-up of supplier-risk decisions. The Free plan allows up to 3 suppliers, 1 user, and 3 custom templates. Starter costs €99 a month and allows up to 25 suppliers, 5 users, and 10 custom templates. Growth costs €299 a month, with limits of 100 suppliers, 10 users, and 50 custom templates. Supplira says it does not currently hold SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification, and that its software alone does not guarantee regulatory compliance.
