Supplier.io, the market-leading provider of supplier and sourcing intelligence solutions, today released The Supplier.io 1000: Top Small Businesses, the first data-driven ranking of the most relied upon small business suppliers across the U.S. Based on sourcing trends observed from over $100 billion in enterprise spend, the report honors the small businesses consistently trusted to deliver by procurement teams across industries.
“This report highlights what leading procurement teams
already rely on Supplier.io to uncover: small businesses that are not only
capable, but essential to enterprise operations,” said Aylin Basom, CEO of
Supplier.io. “These suppliers operate in complex industries, deliver with
consistency, and strengthen the communities they serve, but they’re often
overlooked simply because they aren’t easy to find. By using Supplier.io’s platform insights to build
visibility, we’re bridging the gap between these high-performing small
businesses and the organizations that need them, enabling smarter sourcing
decisions, measurable impact, and stronger business outcomes.”
The Supplier.io 1000 Top Small Suppliers
Unlike rankings based on brand visibility or nominations,
the Supplier.io 1000 is one of the most objective recognitions available,
driven entirely by sourcing activity captured on one of the largest supplier intelligence networks in the
market: the Supplier.io platform. In addition to spotlighting the small, local
business most trusted by enterprise clients globally, the report illustrates
broader industry, geographic, and service-related trends, including:
- Local
economy empowerment: Small businesses are widespread even outside
of major metros, with representation across rural areas including Montana,
central Louisiana, and upstate New York.
- High
performance in complex industries: Challenging the idea that
small businesses only serve low-risk functions, many are making a big
impact in highly regulated fields like health care, scientific research,
and information technology.
- Critical
support for enterprise operations: Many small suppliers provide
specialized services vital to day-to-day operations, like logistics,
building operations, compliance, and digital infrastructure.
As procurement teams face increasing pressure to expand and
diversify their supplier networks, the Supplier.io 1000 serves as a resource
for identifying small business partners with a proven track record of
enterprise success. By highlighting some of the most trusted small businesses
from its database of 11 million suppliers, Supplier.io reinforces its position as the
go-to marketplace for supplier intelligence. With over 350 million supplier
insights and a growing suite of solutions that connect both sides of the
market, the company helps suppliers get discovered while giving enterprises
greater confidence in every sourcing decision.
