Supplier Signals

Signals from DataFox are like newsfeed of the key milestones of suppliers. You can get daily updates about suppliers that matter to you and use this information to assess risks and take corrective actions sooner.

You can get updates about important information such as bankruptcy, financial challenges, revenue, stock performance, and ownership change in companies.

To view signals in the Datafox app, navigate to the company's profile and click the Signals tab. You can also set up alerts to receive signals. For details, see Signal Alerts.
