Initial situation

The goal of the project is to develop the procurement risk management tool iBERIMA, which enables Swiss companies to identify, assess and monitor the risks of international procurement.
Goal
To develop the tool IBERIMA for the purpose of identifying, evaluating, monitoring and tracking international procurement risks
Result
