Multiple reference numbers (aka supplier IDs) (June 2024)

If multiple references shall be stored with one site, this is not possible to be done with one row only as there is no multi-value support for your_reference. Instead, a row can be duplicated in order to add additional references. If the name and address information is identical, the same site will be reused and information is added there. Please note that any impact data (spend_data and impact) will be stored per reference. Hence, if you do not want spends to be summed up, you need to remove them from either row.

Prewave assesses the risk of hundreds of thousands of sites around the world. A site refers to a physical location where members of an organization conduct their main operational activities (hereinafter referred to as “Site”). Sites may include (manufacturing) plants, distribution centers, retail stores, transportation hubs, warehouses and offices, where business operations, production or services are carried out. These Sites can be associated with your suppliers, your customers or yourself.
Our Platform allows you to monitor Sites you have subscribed to (i.e., follow and/or connect), in real time. The maximum number of Sites you can subscribe to is specified in your contract. You can connect or disconnect with/from Sites at any time via the Prewave Platform, provided that the maximum number of Sites in Peer Score has not been exceeded.  

Prewave lists hundreds of thousands of Sites, to which you can directly subscribe via the Prewave Platform. 

If the Site is not listed on the Prewave Platform, you are required to send us a correct and complete list of Sites to which you wish to subscribe, or alternatively you can use the Add-to-Directory function available on the Prewave Platform (said processes are hereinafter referred to as “Discovery”). For the purpose of Discovery, you must provide us with the data indicated in Appendix 1 (1. Parameters) hereto. The same applies if you wish for us to subscribe you to any Sites.

We cannot accept Site lists that are missing any of the mandatory parameters, as without said parameters we are not able to discover or identify the Sites to which you wish to subscribe on our Prewave Platform. See Appendix 1 (2. SiteDetailStatus) for reference information about possible response and error messages we use.

Should you provide us with a valid prewave_id, we will disregard the site_details provided. 

Please note that the Prewave Platform does not support Sites:

• that are associated with a private/natural person (e.g., home office), or
• whose essential details required for the provision of our services cannot be discovered, or
• whose existence cannot be validated in the course of the Discovery.

Accordingly, Prewave retains the right to refuse the addition of Sites, and can delete Sites that subsequently exhibit any of the above characteristics.

Should you follow our instructions and adhere to the procedure established herein, we will use our best efforts to subscribe you to the Sites you specify.
