Company profile
researched Aug 2026Supplier.io, operating at the tealbook.com domain, provides a supplier intelligence and supplier diversity platform used by corporate procurement organizations to track spend, discover suppliers, and measure program impact. The platform is organized around three areas: supplier data (data enrichment, spend analytics and reporting, and carbon analytics), supplier sourcing (Supplier Explorer, peer benchmarking, and supplier registration), and impact measurement (economic impact analysis and Tier 2 spend reporting).
Data enrichment matches a customer's existing supplier base against a database of more than 20 million suppliers compiled from over 450 sources, producing supplier profiles that include certifications, sustainability ratings, greenhouse gas emissions metrics, and affidavits for self-certified suppliers. Spend analytics allows tracking and reporting of spend with small, diverse, and sustainable suppliers down to the business-unit level, while carbon analytics addresses visibility into Scope 3 emissions. Sourcing tools include advanced filtering, a Trust IQ supplier evaluation feature, and a Market Analyzer for identifying sourcing categories, alongside benchmarking against industry peers and the top 20% of performers across industries. Economic impact analysis translates spend data into estimates of job creation, income generation, and tax contributions using economic data and a methodology the company describes as Nobel Prize-winning. Tier 2 spend reporting supports customers running global tier-2 supplier programs.
