What is a profile score and how is it calculated?

A profile score is a tool used by the buyers to quickly reach company profiles that are complete. The more information in your profile - the higher your profile score. The profile score allocates points based on the elements of your profile that are important to the buyer.
  • The profile score is allocated based on how complete and compliant your profile is.
  • Those elements that are more important to the buyer (such as your BBBEE & Tax Clearance Certificate as well as Trade References) - these elements receive higher points in your profile score.
  • A Basic and Premium Member can score exactly the same against the Completion Score
  • Whereas ONLY a Premium Member can earn a Compliance Score based on validation of the various documents and BBBEE credentials
  • A Profile Score is then calculated as a combination of the Completion Score and the Compliance Score – a 70/30 ratio.
  • Your Profile Score = Your Completion Score% x 0.7 + Your Compliance Score% x 0.3.
  • The Profile Score points table is included below as reference
