RapidRatings, the leading provider of financial health analytics, today introduced new capabilities and upgrades within The FHR Exchange™, its supplier network platform. The company is introducing three key innovations aimed at reducing friction in supplier assessment while elevating high-performing vendors across global supply chains. RapidRatings also enhanced its platform for a more seamless, navigable experience.

In 2021, RapidRatings launched The FHR Exchange— a secure membership platform where all companies, from large public enterprises to private suppliers and vendors, can share and access financial health ratings, analytics, and other critical information—to grow and protect their businesses. These new capabilities will help achieve the mission of promoting resilience, while giving suppliers a space to grow and collaborate.

“Resilience is today’s differentiator—and it's built through operational excellence and transparency with critical partners,” said Charlie Minutella, CEO of RapidRatings. “That’s why we set out to provide suppliers and vendors with best-in-class tools and a trusted network to demonstrate financial strength, optimize business performance, collaborate more effectively with partners, and drive resilience and growth.”

RapidRatings has released the following enhancements:

Supplier Badge Program:

The RapidRatings Badge Program honors suppliers and vendors that are committed to financial transparency or demonstrate superior financial health, strong resilience, and openness across global supply chains.

Badges are awarded based on a company’s FHR percentile rank. Each badge identifies the season of recognition—H1 2026, H2 2026, and so on.

Badge Levels

• Platinum Badge (Top 5%) – 95th percentile and above.
• Gold Badge (Top 20%) – 80th percentile and above.
• Silver Badge (Top 35%) – 65th percentile and above.
• Rated Badge – Awarded to any company that completes a current RapidRatings assessment for the season.

Suppliers and vendors who earn a badge can promote it publicly on their website, marketing materials, and social channels, demonstrating their financial strength to clients, partners, and prospects. Badges are more than recognition; they are a symbol of trust and opportunity in today’s supply chain ecosystem.

ActionPath

ActionPath is a new supplier-centric feature designed to transform financial analysis into actionable strategies. ActionPath provides suppliers with a guided improvement plan that identifies the financial goals most likely to boost their FHR, recommends prioritized strategies, and allows members to build personalized plans with measurable targets.

With ActionPath, suppliers can:

• Diagnose weaknesses based on their financial data.
• Strategize with recommended actions ranked by impact.
• Plan and track projected FHR improvements.
• Share their ActionPath with customers to demonstrate accountability and progress.

By moving beyond analysis to clear, actionable steps, ActionPath helps suppliers take control of their financial health and strengthens trust across the supply chain.

QuickSync:

QuickSync lets suppliers share financial data seamlessly and with minimal effort. The connector syncs with their accounting system, and data transfers instantly – no collating data, filling out spreadsheets, or uploading files. This reduces data errors and clarification requests, resulting in faster ratings. The system supports scheduled recurring uploads to ensure ratings can be refreshed simply and quickly.
