Map your supply network down to the second tier
Build a complete two-tier map of your supply base and let SupplySignal surface the hidden concentrations and shared dependencies that represent your most significant resilience risks.
A living map of your supply network
Two-tier supplier network
Add second-tier suppliers to each of your primary suppliers to build a complete picture of your supply base. The map visualises all relationships in a single interactive network.
Shared supplier detection
Where the same entity appears as a supplier to more than one of your primary suppliers, SupplySignal flags it automatically. A single disruption to that entity could affect multiple parts of your supply base simultaneously.
Concentration risk indicators
Suppliers appearing across multiple tier-one relationships are highlighted in the map and surfaced in a dedicated concentration risk view. Geographic concentration can also be assessed where location data is available.
Interactive exploration
Click any node on the supply chain map to view detailed relationship information, connected entities and associated risk flags. Expand nodes to explore the network further.
Map export
Export the supply chain map as a PNG for use in board reporting, procurement governance reviews and resilience planning documents.
Monitoring integration
Second-tier suppliers are monitored alongside primary suppliers. Alerts created for tier-two entities are contextualised against the primary supplier relationships they affect.
The risks that only become visible at the network level
Individual supplier assessments cannot reveal concentration risks that only exist across the supply network as a whole. Supply chain mapping makes the hidden structure visible.
Single-source dependency
A critical component or service sourced from a single supplier, with no alternative qualified. Disruption to that supplier creates immediate operational risk.
Shared sub-supplier
Multiple tier-one suppliers using the same sub-supplier creates hidden concentration. A disruption that appears isolated at the sub-supplier level cascades across your tier-one relationships.
Geographic concentration
Multiple suppliers or sub-suppliers operating in the same region. A localised event, whether regulatory, political or physical, can affect multiple supply relationships simultaneously.
Built for business resilience planning
Supply chain mapping gives procurement and resilience teams the visibility they need to make informed decisions about supplier diversification, strategic stock-holding and contractual risk allocation.
For organisations subject to requirements under the UK Procurement Act, Modern Slavery Act supply chain mapping requirements, or financial services operational resilience frameworks, the supply chain map provides a structured, exportable record of third-party network structure and concentration exposure.
