Supplier Enablement and D-U-N-S®

D&B® D-U-N-S® Number, a Data Universal Numbering System that simplifies the identification of buyer and supplier organizations conducting eCommerce.

IMPAQ is seeing an increasing use of D-U-N-S® Number by customers implementing P2P/eProcurement as there is a clear need for a common identifier for suppliers.

For example, suppliers invited to join the Zanzibar Marketplace are required to have a D-U-N-S®, see http://www.zanzibaronline.gov.uk/faq.htm#22

As a D-U-N-S® Number is free of charge to a supplier there is no reason for a supplier not to comply, indeed many will already have a D-U-N-S®.

From a supplier’s perspective the D-U-N-S® provides them a unique way to identify themselves to customers and suppliers and make it easy to conduct business.

IMPAQ support DUNS Numbers for supplier identification and suppliers can obtain these free at https://eupdate.dnb.com/

IMPAQ’s D-U-N-S® Number is 238078872.
