We participated in one of procurement’s biggest events of the year: ISM World 2025. The event featured leaders in supply chain—from Fortune 500 companies managing vast networks of suppliers, to innovators redefining how to identify supply chain risk.

We kicked off the summer at Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE in Chicago, where thousands of industry leaders gathered to discuss strategies and solutions for mitigating today’s supply chain risk. As a risk solution provider, RapidRatings sponsored the event and was given the space and stage to spotlight our FHR solution and share our expertise with a network of supply chain professionals.
