Traceability Mapping

See Who Supplies Your Suppliers

Most manufacturers can name their tier-1 suppliers. Fewer know their tier-2. Almost none have mapped tier-3. Supplytrx builds that picture automatically — without supplier surveys.

How Traceability Works

From Customs Records to a Complete Tier Map

1

Connect Your Data

Provide your tier-1 supplier list and company identifiers. Connect your ERP for purchase order history. Supplytrx does not require supplier participation.

2

Cross-Reference Trade Data

Our AI matches your tier-1 suppliers against 10 years of customs manifest records and AIS vessel movements to identify who they import from — your tier-2.

3

Extend to Tier-3

The same pattern matching extends downstream. Tier-2 to tier-3 relationships are inferred with confidence scores based on trade data corroboration and commodity category matching.

4

Map Dependencies & Gaps

The resulting graph shows concentration risk (multiple tier-1 routes through one tier-2 node), sole-source dependencies, geographic clustering, and unmapped segments.

Traceability Features

What the Map Shows You

Multi-Tier Depth

Tier-1, tier-2, and tier-3 relationships with confidence scores on each inferred link. Manual additions allowed for confirmed relationships.

Concentration Analysis

Identify nodes that serve as single points of failure for multiple product lines. Visualize your dependency concentration index by country, region, and commodity.

Geographic Heat Map

Country-level and province-level exposure maps. See which political or weather risks have the most production lines downstream.

Sole-Source Detection

Automatically flag cases where a critical component has no identified alternative supplier at any tier. Rank by production criticality and substitution difficulty.

Blind Spot Scoring

Quantify unmapped portions of your network. Which product lines have incomplete tier-2 visibility? Where is trade data coverage sparse?

Continuous Refresh

Trade patterns change. New suppliers appear, relationships evolve. Supplytrx refreshes your network map weekly using the latest customs and shipping data.

Regulatory Use Cases

Traceability Supports Compliance Reporting

Procurement teams use Supplytrx traceability data for supply chain transparency programs, including UFLPA due diligence documentation (identifying sourcing exposure in Xinjiang-connected supply chains) and Dodd-Frank Section 1502 conflict minerals reporting (mapping mineral origin through tier-2 and tier-3 smelter relationships). Supplytrx provides traceability intelligence — regulatory compliance determinations remain with your legal and compliance teams.

UFLPA Exposure Mapping

Identify tier-2 and tier-3 supplier nodes with geographic exposure to regions subject to Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act rebuttable presumption provisions.

Conflict Minerals Tracing

Map 3TG (tin, tungsten, tantalum, gold) supply chains through smelter and refinery relationships under Dodd-Frank Section 1502 and EU Conflict Minerals Regulation.

ESG Supply Chain Disclosure

Provide tier-2 and tier-3 network data to support ESG supply chain disclosure reporting requirements under CSRD, SEC climate rules, and customer sustainability questionnaires.
