Achilles is a supply chain risk management platform. Organisations can use it to monitor supplier risk, control contractor and site compliance, commission independent supplier audits, and measure and report carbon emissions. It also provides a supplier network, risk screening and AI-supported insight. The company states that it was established in Norway in 1990. The website does not say whether the software is offered in the cloud, on-premises or in a hybrid form.
The contracting entity, Achilles Information Limited, is registered in Scotland with its registered office in Edinburgh, and its parent company is Aurora II Topco Limited. The privacy notice also names Achilles Information, LLC in the United States as a contact entity, and says data may be shared with group companies outside the UK and EEA, without naming countries. Hosting locations and cloud providers are not named; transfers rely on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, as the notice states. For a European organisation, the UK seat and the unnamed hosting arrangements are the points to clarify.
