Dun & Bradstreet Nigeria Enhances Vendor Platform with AI

Dun & Bradstreet Nigeria announced an upgrade to its vendor platform, incorporating AI and compliance tools to streamline vendor management. The new platform expands beyond vendor onboarding to manage a broader network of third-party relationships, including suppliers, contractors, and business partners.

Key features include an automated verification tool with AI-assisted onboarding, customizable KYC questionnaires, and a real-time monitoring dashboard. Future updates will introduce compliance screening features that cover politically exposed persons, sanction lists, watchlists, and adverse media checks.

This initiative aims to help companies meet increasingly stringent regulatory due diligence requirements. The platform will also feature a self-service portal for vendors to manage registrations and track application statuses, connecting multiple organizations through a single interface.

Chijiok Agusi, Sales Manager at Dun & Bradstreet Nigeria, stated that the platform is designed to reduce friction and improve transparency, enabling organizations to manage third-party relationships confidently. The rollout is expected to begin in the coming weeks, addressing the growing pressure on businesses across Africa to strengthen supply chain resilience and improve vendor due diligence compliance.
