Supply Chain & Third-Party Risk Visualization

Procurement, risk and compliance teams are usually confident about their direct, tier-1 vendors - and largely blind beyond them. Sub-suppliers at tier-2, tier-3 and further down the chain are where concentration risk, single points of failure, and exposure to sanctioned or high-risk entities tend to hide. The underlying data - vendor master records, ownership structures, contracts, shipments - is scattered across ERP, procurement and vendor-risk systems, and the relationships between these entities (shared ownership, subcontracting, shared facilities) are usually not modeled at all, only implied.

That gap shows up at the worst possible time: when a facility or region is disrupted, it can take days to work out which products, contracts and customers are actually exposed, because nobody can see past the first tier of the supply chain.

Graphlytic connects vendor master data, ownership records, contracts and shipment data into a single graph, so risk teams can trace supplier dependencies several tiers deep instead of stopping at the direct contractual relationship. Concentration risk becomes visible at a glance - multiple products relying on one sub-supplier or one facility - and hidden ownership links to sanctioned or high-risk entities surface through shared directors, addresses or holding structures rather than requiring a separate screening pass. When a disruption does hit a facility or a region, the same graph shows immediately which products, contracts and customers are affected.
