FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Details about Tier 2 reporting software
What is Tier 2 reporting software?
Tier 2 reporting is when organizations ask their suppliers to report on their own small and diverse spend. With Tier 2 reporting software, you can automate and simplify the tracking, measuring, reporting, and supplier engagement.
What sets Supplier.io apart from other Tier 2 reporting software solutions?
Our customers have seen up to 2x better results than the industry average because we make it easy and intuitive for suppliers to report their tier 2 spend to you. Behind the scenes, our software is powered by the largest supplier diversity database in the U.S., rigorous QA processes, and clean, de-duplicated records. The result? Accurate, audit-ready Tier 2 reports you can trust.
Why do companies need Tier 2 reporting?
Supplier intelligence is critical now. Organizations need to know who is in their supply chain and how they conduct business. Tier 2 reporting is a key part of that visibility, helping you understand your suppliers’ diverse spend and build a more resilient, inclusive supply chain.
How well do suppliers typically report their Tier 2 spend?
Reporting rates vary widely depending on how easy the process is and how much support suppliers receive. Without the right tools, participation can be low. We work with you to make sure all of your major suppliers report their Tier 2 diverse spend. Across all suppliers, we’ve seen up to 80% of suppliers report.
How is Tier 2 configured?
It depends on three scoping questions: how many regions your subcontractor spend covers, whether you need business unit or contract-level segmentation, and how many primes report to you. Single-region US and Canada programs start with Tier 2 Standard. Multi-BU enterprises and federal contractors typically need Tier 2 Advanced. Global supply chains with per-country requirements need Tier 2 Regions.
How is certification data verified?
Verification is native to Tier 2 Reporting. When your primes report direct spend with named subcontractors, each certification is automatically checked against the Supplier.io database of 20M+ suppliers sourced from 450+ authoritative bodies, including NMSDC, WBENC, SBA 8(a), HUBZone, VOSB, and SDVOSB, and expired or unmatched certifications are flagged. When primes report spend by category rather than by name, Managed Services can run certification checks as a custom Data Enrichment project.
What does Tier 2 Managed Services add?
Managed Services runs prime engagement for you: outreach, reminders, escalation, and supplier training on the reporting portal. In a market where prime participation takes more active management, it is the difference between submission rates that hold and a quarterly chase your team absorbs. Most primes complete their report in about ten minutes once onboarded.
Can Tier 2 data feed economic impact reporting?
Yes. Subcontractor spend captured through Tier 2 flows into Economic Impact Analysis, so your impact figures reflect the full supply chain: local jobs, wages, taxes, and community contribution from your suppliers and their suppliers. For banks that means CRA community development evidence. For utilities it means the rate case story. For service companies it means the strongest data point in an RFP response.
