Spot supplier risks in the news early

Purchasing monitors the news for supplier risks such as insolvency or strikes

Needs setupAI Act: no extra obligationsMonitoring & alertingAll industries

Fits: Leaders & strategy · Purchasing · Logistics & warehousing

You find out about insolvency filings, strikes, factory fires or port disruptions at your key suppliers before the goods fail to arrive. That leaves time for second suppliers, stock or conversations.

Is this for you?

  • You depend on a few suppliers for important parts or raw materials.
  • Someone in purchasing reacts to an alert and knows the alternatives.
First step today

Take 10 key suppliers and have an AI assistant with web search look for reports from the last 90 days using the template below. Check every hit with a risk yourself via the link. This alone shows whether regular monitoring is worthwhile.

How to go about it

  1. Set suppliers and risk types
  2. Decide on news and register sources
  3. Set up regular retrieval
  4. Assign reports to the right supplier
  5. Inform purchasing and materials planning
  6. Fine-tune after a few weeks
