The Supply Chains module is where the individual data points you have entered, such as Locations, Organisations, and their respective links, come together to form a comprehensive, end-to-end view of your sourcing network.
While individual location profiles allow you to see immediate upstream suppliers and downstream buyers, the Supply Chain function visualises the entire journey of materials from their origin to their final destination.
Understanding Your Views: Full vs. Custom Supply Chains
To help you manage your data effectively, the platform offers two distinct ways to interact with your networks:
View Full Supply Chain: This acts as your master map. It automatically aggregates and visualises every linked location and relationship across your entire setup, giving you a complete, unfiltered look at all of your global operations at once.
Custom Supply Chains: These are dedicated, named supply chains that you build to organise specific segments of your network. Instead of looking at the whole picture, creating a custom chain allows you to isolate regional flows, specific supplier groups, or individual product lines for targeted management and reporting.
Key Capabilities
Visual Network Mapping: You can dynamically map out your exact chain of custody, showing the directional flow of goods from upstream sources (like forests) through intermediate facilities (like sawmills and factories) to final destinations (like exporters and importers).
Centralised Overview: The interactive graph provides a bird's-eye view of your network's structure. Each node on the graph displays critical data at a glance, including the organisation name, location type, country of origin, and icons indicating if documents or certificates are attached to that specific site.
