Multi-tier Supply Chain Mapping

Gain Complete Visibility Across Your Entire Supply Chain

Multi-tier Supply Chain Mapping by Semantic Visions enables you to uncover hidden risks and identify key suppliers across every level of your supply chain. Leveraging advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence, you receive real-time insights that allow you to proactively manage vulnerabilities and ensure the long-term resilience of your supply network.

Key benefits of Multi-tier Supply Chain Mapping

• Comprehensive Supplier Visibility: Understand your supplier relationships beyond Tier 1 and uncover hidden connections.
• Proactive Risk Management: Identify and rank suppliers by importance, mitigating exposure to risks such as geopolitical tensions, cyber threats, or natural disasters.
• Real-time Monitoring: Stay updated with real-time risk detection across all tiers of your supply chain.
• Compliance and ESG Monitoring: Monitor key compliance indicators and ESG risks, including modern slavery, corruption, and sustainability factors.

This visualization represents the intricate web of business relationships between companies, derived from a dataset of 50,000 articles where at least two firms are mentioned together. Using advanced Large Language Models (LLMs), we identified and mapped 41,562 business relationships among 33,113 companies, spanning across more than five tiers of connections.

The image highlights the power of our technology to analyze massive amounts of data—out of the 10 million companies we monitor globally—and uncover hidden relationships within the supply chain and broader business ecosystem. Each line and node illustrates the interconnected nature of the global marketplace, showcasing a detailed snapshot of corporate dependencies and interactions.

Example of Multi-tier Supply Chain Mapping: Explore Relationships and Insights

Our Multi-Tier Supply Chain Mapping tool provides an intuitive and detailed visualization of supplier relationships, from Tier 0 to Tier 3. Each node in the diagram represents a company within the supply chain, with its size and color reflecting its media visibility and sentiment (opportunity or threat). This empowers users to immediately identify key players, risks, and opportunities across the supply chain.

Click on any node to reveal a detailed, real-time table of news articles relevant to that company, sourced from global media in 12 languages. Our AI-powered data solution goes beyond just listing articles—it identifies the type of event described in the content, so you instantly see whether it’s about innovation, business expansion, financial risk, or other critical categories. You can easily assess whether the event is a Threat or an Opportunity without reading every article, saving you time and enabling data-driven decisions.

How It Works

• Actionable Links
  Each article in the table is clickable, allowing for a deep dive into the original content for further analysis.
• Visual Overview
  The schematic diagram maps the full supplier network from Tier 0 (core manufacturers) to Tier 3, showcasing the relationships and media impact for each entity.
• AI-Driven Event Categorization
  Our AI analyzes articles to extract event types like “Business Expansion,” “Innovation,” or “Stock Price Fall,” making it clear what’s happening around each company.
• Interactive Exploration
  Clicking on a company node dynamically updates the table below with the latest articles linked to that supplier, enabling instant access to critical information.
• Categorized Insights
  Articles are tagged as “Opportunity” or “Threat” to help prioritize actions. Larger nodes indicate a high volume of media coverage, while colors show whether the coverage is positive or negative.
• Comprehensive Media Monitoring
  We track and analyze articles from global media sources in 12 languages, powered by our cutting-edge AI, ensuring you receive the most precise insights tailored to your business needs.
