Case Study: Signify achieves automated, standardized and innovative supply chain risk management with Sphera Supply Chain Risk Management

Signify Automates, Standardizes and Innovates Supply Chain Risk Management

Signify, the world leader in lighting, faced heightened procurement pressure from COVID-19, component shortages and rising freight and energy costs that required faster supplier onboarding, real‑time risk visibility and more time for strategic work. To meet this need, Signify adopted Sphera Supply Chain Risk Management (Sphera Supply Chain Risk Management [formerly riskmethods]) to centralize supplier risk intelligence and support more resilient procurement decisions.

Using Sphera’s standard package, Signify quickly integrated its supplier-factory database to get a mapped, real‑time view of tier‑1 and many tier‑2/3 suppliers and to trigger immediate alerts to supplier account managers. The Sphera deployment standardized and automated risk reporting, drove adoption across ~450 procurement specialists via KPIs and incentives, shifted teams from spreadsheets to analytics, and enabled faster, proactive responses and improved procurement efficiency and supplier risk governance.
