Basware, a procure-to-pay and e-invoicing solution, has added diversity data to its Supplier Management solution, allowing customers to identify minority-owned and small business suppliers within their base. The data is provided by Dun & Bradstreet’s Diversity Database.

“By having access to our diversity data in the Basware solution, customers can trust that they have the most complete database in the market at their fingertips,” said Lauri Mähönen, Sales Director Finland at Dun & Bradstreet Europe. “We are pleased to be a part of helping companies turn diversity data into strategic opportunities.”

The diversity indicators in Basware Supplier Management enable customers to determine the minority-owned and small business supplier status within their network, helping organizations develop and evolve their supplier diversity programs.

“The genesis of this integration with Dun & Bradstreet was our commitment to add another lens of visibility for our customers as we see more and more placing an emphasis on supplier diversity, which we applaud,” said Sami Peltonen, Vice President of Purchase to Pay Product Management at Basware. “Visible Commerce, or a state where transparency and data lead to more effective and ethical decision making, is the cornerstone of our solutions and this enhancement does just that.”

Diversity information is uploaded for all suppliers in the Basware Supplier Management tool. Data for existing suppliers is automatically enriched when imported and is done so during the onboarding process for new suppliers. Diversity indicators can also be exported to other customer systems (ERPs) via application programming interfaces.
