Disruption Intelligence

Early warning for supply chain shocks—port closures, factory shutdowns, natural disasters, strikes, sanctions, and geopolitical events. Predictive analytics for proactive mitigation.

Supplier Risk Assessment

Tier-N supplier mapping, financial health monitoring, ESG compliance verification, concentration risk analysis, and alternative sourcing intelligence for resilient supply networks.

Compliance Intelligence

Sanctions screening, export controls, forced labor risk, conflict minerals, customs compliance, and regulatory monitoring across jurisdictions. OFAC, EU, UN, and BIS integration.

Systematic methodology for supply chain risk assessment following established intelligence tradecraft—integrating multiple data sources with structured analytical techniques to produce actionable, defensible intelligence products.

Requirements Definition

Supply chain intelligence requirements aligned with procurement strategy, risk tolerance, and operational decision timescales. PIRs for supplier, logistics, and compliance domains.

Multi-Source Collection

Trade data, AIS, corporate registries, sanctions lists, and operational systems integrated with consistent entity resolution and data normalization.

Network Analysis

Graph-based supply chain network mapping, criticality assessment, concentration analysis, and path-based risk propagation modeling.

Risk Communication

Calibrated confidence statements, explicit uncertainty communication, and decision-relevant framing for procurement and executive audiences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Supply Chain Intelligence Common Questions

What data sources does SUPPLYINT integrate?

We integrate AIS vessel tracking, customs/trade data (bill of lading, import/export records), corporate registries, financial data providers, sanctions lists (OFAC, EU, UN, BIS), ESG databases, and real-time disruption monitoring feeds. Enterprise deployments can include customer ERP, TMS, and procurement system integrations.

How does SUPPLYINT map tier-N suppliers?

We use trade data analysis (customs records, bill of lading) combined with corporate ownership mapping to infer multi-tier supplier relationships. Machine learning entity resolution matches company names across data sources. For critical suppliers, we supplement with direct verification and expert validation.

How does SUPPLYINT handle sanctions screening?

We integrate all major sanctions lists (OFAC SDN, EU consolidated, UN SC, country-specific) with real-time updates. Screening covers direct matches, fuzzy matching for name variants, and beneficial ownership analysis for indirect exposure. Export control classification (ECCN) support is included for dual-use goods.

What disruption monitoring capabilities are available?

We monitor natural disasters, port congestion, factory incidents, labor disputes, geopolitical events, and regulatory changes in real-time. Alerts are mapped to customer supplier networks and logistics routes for impact assessment. Early warning indicators include supplier financial deterioration and capacity utilization anomalies.

How does SUPPLYINT support ESG compliance?

We integrate ESG ratings (EcoVadis, Sedex), forced labor risk indicators (UFLPA Entity List, CBP detention orders), conflict minerals tracking, and environmental compliance data. Products support German Supply Chain Act, EU Due Diligence Directive, and UFLPA compliance requirements.

What scenario analysis capabilities are available?

We provide pre-built scenarios for common disruption types (port closure, regional conflict, pandemic, trade policy) plus custom scenario development. Monte Carlo simulation quantifies probabilistic outcomes. What-if analysis evaluates alternative sourcing, routing, and inventory strategies against disruption scenarios.

How does SUPPLYINT integrate with enterprise systems?

We provide REST APIs, webhooks, and pre-built connectors for major ERP (SAP, Oracle), procurement (Ariba, Coupa), and TMS platforms. Data can be consumed via API for custom integration or through dashboard embedding. Enterprise deployments include dedicated integration support.

What is GCRI’s role in supply chain intelligence?

The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI-US/Canada), Global Risks Forum (GRF-Switzerland), and Global Risks Alliance (GRA-US) collectively develop and maintain SUPPLYINT as non-profit supply chain intelligence infrastructure. We operate as system integrators enabling open collaboration under the UNOSINT framework.

How does SUPPLYINT address cyber supply chain risk?

We monitor software supply chain risk through SBOM analysis, vendor cybersecurity posture assessment, and third-party breach tracking. Products identify software dependency risks (SolarWinds-type attacks) and vendor cyber exposure. Integration with vulnerability databases (CVE, NVD) enables component-level risk assessment.

What maritime intelligence capabilities are available?

We integrate terrestrial and satellite AIS for global vessel tracking, port congestion monitoring, chokepoint analysis (Suez, Panama, Malacca, Hormuz), and container fleet positioning. Dark vessel detection identifies AIS manipulation. Maritime sanctions screening covers vessel flags, ownership, and port call history.

How does SUPPLYINT track critical minerals and strategic materials?

We monitor supply chains for battery materials (lithium, cobalt, nickel), rare earth elements, semiconductor materials, and aerospace alloys from extraction through processing to end-product. Intelligence covers geographic concentration, processing bottlenecks, price volatility, and policy impacts (IRA, CHIPS Act, export restrictions).

What carbon and sustainability intelligence is available?

We support Scope 3 emissions tracking with supplier carbon footprint estimation, CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) compliance, EUDR deforestation-free verification, and circular economy intelligence. Products enable CSRD/ESRS reporting, CDP supply chain responses, and SBTi supplier engagement tracking.

How does SUPPLYINT support nearshoring and reshoring decisions?

We provide location intelligence covering manufacturing cost modeling, supplier ecosystem mapping, infrastructure assessment, and workforce analytics. Strategic analysis includes friend-shoring evaluation, China+1 strategy support, FTA optimization, and government incentive tracking to support supply chain reconfiguration decisions.

What AI and digital twin capabilities are available?

SUPPLYINT includes supply chain digital twin for network simulation, what-if modeling, and optimization. AI/ML capabilities span disruption prediction, demand sensing, entity resolution, and anomaly detection. Generative AI powers intelligence summarization and natural language querying. Graph neural networks enable advanced network analysis.

What satellite and alternative data sources does SUPPLYINT use?

We integrate satellite imagery for factory activity monitoring, port congestion analysis, and infrastructure status. IoT data from smart containers provides real-time cargo tracking. Alternative data includes connected vehicle telematics, energy consumption analysis, and social/news monitoring for early warning signals.
