    Procurement

    The SupplierIQ product is IBISWorld's company-level intelligence offering for procurement teams, delivering standardised supplier profiles for thousands of domestic and foreign companies. Each report combines company-level fundamentals (ownership, leadership, headcount, NAICS classification) with financial insights (income statement, balance sheet, cash flows, ratios) and product/service market positioning — giving procurement teams a single source of truth for supplier discovery, vetting, and ongoing risk monitoring.
    Note: SupplierIQ is a US-only product. The Country parameter on every endpoint is restricted to "US". Any other value returns 400.

    Public vs Private Companies#

    SupplierIQ covers both public and private US companies. The two ownership types share an identical envelope and metric structure but differ in the values returned in each Years entry:
    DimensionPublic companiesPrivate companies
    Source valuesActual reported financialsIBISWorld-estimated ranges
    Year coverageUp to 9 years of history (controlled by AllYears)Single estimated period
    Per-year payloadYear, ValueYear, RangeLow, RangeHigh, Confidence
    IsEstimated flagfalsetrue
    Ratios sectionPopulatedReturns null
    Ticker, RevenueVolatilityPopulatednull
    Use the OwnershipType field in GeneralInformation ("Public" or "Private") to drive any conditional handling in your client code.

    Typical Workflow#

    1.
    Discover suppliers with /supplieriq/v3/reportlist.
    2.
    Stay fresh with /supplieriq/v3/updatedreports (poll daily/weekly and refresh only changed suppliers).
    3.
    Fetch content via /supplieriq/v3/sections — bundle only the sections you need.

    Design Guidance & Best Practices#

    Target sections of a SupplierIQ report: Pull only what you need and bundle multiple sections in one call using /supplieriq/v3/sections.
    Cache smartly: Combine /supplieriq/v3/updatedreports with local caching to minimise bandwidth and detect supplier refreshes without re-pulling the full catalogue.
    Handle null Ratios gracefully: Requesting the ratios section for a private company returns "Ratios": null — this is expected behaviour, not an error.
