Supply | Supply Network Discovery: The Newest Innovation in Supply Collaboration
Discover risks hiding in sub-tiers of your supply network
Improve compliance and supply assurance with a new innovation in supply collaboration
A more reliable and compliant supply chain
Strict government regulations, consumer awareness, and persistent disruptions have put supply networks under a microscope. With e2open’s latest innovation – Supply Network Discovery – you can improve supply assurance and mitigate compliance risk.
Supply Network Discovery provides multi-tier supplier discovery, relationship mapping, and traceability. A structured engagement to perform due diligence and partner impact assessment capabilities improves supply understanding and compliance across your expansive supply network.
Discover unknown sub-tier supply partners
Supply Network Discovery provides a structured workflow to identify and map every sub-tier supply partner and the components or processes they contribute to the bills of materials of finished products. A complete understanding of the brand owner’s supply network provides more control and awareness of all the actors in the supply chain.
Gain compliance across the supply chain
Once a clear picture of the supply network is available, there are many ways to gain compliance across the supply chain. A combination of the partner certification process and the automated onboarding process can increase data accuracy and shorten the lead time to trade.
When brand owners combine detailed, specific screening—including many government-issued restricted trading parties or sanctions lists—they can avoid significant non-compliance penalties and fines.
Improve supply assurance
The ability to expose supply risk ahead of time becomes possible when the brand owner maps out their entire, multi-tier supply network. Opportunities and risks are uncovered that can impact their supply assurance. A complete mapping of the supply network helps expose supply risks, such as single-sourced materials, and enables collaboration across connected and related suppliers to mitigate critical supply issues.
The basis for end-to-end supply traceability and regulations compliance
In a world of persistent disruption and ever-changing regulations, e2open continues to innovate to build a connected supply chain that will help keep your supply chain moving and your company’s commitments and reputation intact. Collecting supplier information and mapping the entire global supply network allow you to quickly identify a bad actor, enact supply redistribution as necessary, gain greater control and visibility over the entire supply chain, and meet customer commitments.
