SUPPLIER RISK INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM

Identify supplier risks
before they become business risks.

TrustChain360 connects operational signals, supplier performance, dependencies and business impact into one risk picture — so companies can see where action matters most.

The B2B SaaS platform for critical supplier relationships — from assessing new suppliers to managing existing ones.

01 / PERFORMANCE AND RISK

Good performance does not automatically mean low risk.

A precision component. A reliable supplier. Until you look more closely.

A CLOSER LOOK

The full picture changes the decision.

The metrics show performance. They do not yet show how much your business depends on this supplier.

01 · One component. No short-term alternative.

A single source supplies a production-critical component with a long lead time. Even a small deviation can affect several teams.

02 · Stable metrics can hide growing effort.

In this illustrative scenario, investment is delayed, capacity tightens and coordination takes more time. These are signals to investigate, not proof of a loss.

03 · Context reveals the priority.

TrustChain360 connects performance, dependency and business impact to answer a practical question: where should we act first?

03 / BUSINESS IMPACT

Lower purchase price.
Higher real cost.

Purchase price is visible. The full cost of the supplier relationship often isn't.

The same component. The same annual volume. A different view of cost. Adjust the assumptions to compare.

Supplier costs
Purchase price, quality consequences, logistics, internal effort and production impact.
Risk Exposure
Modeled financial exposure in the context of performance and dependency.

A cost example, not a risk score. Measured costs, estimated consequences and modelled Risk Exposure must remain distinct.

Largest difference in additional cost: Coordination · B +€1.09 / unit compared with A.

When does the decision change?

B has a purchase price advantage of €1.20 / unit. It disappears when B generates €1.20 more additional cost than A. Currently: €1.97 more / unit.

Both suppliers use the same illustrative effort scale. Low, Medium and High combine coordination, logistics, quality and operational effort. All amounts are per unit; there are no volume discounts or fixed costs.

Price: €0–10,000 · Quantity: 1–1,000,000

Illustrative scenario, not a product calculation or savings guarantee. Location alone does not determine quality. Performance, dependency and the actual effort involved in the supplier relationship matter.

    Review implementation and what has actually changed.

A shared decision process: from operational and qualitative signals to reviewing what has actually changed.

05 / FROM EXPERIENCE

Grounded in experience.

Florian Herding
TrustChain360

“I have seen a supplier look inexpensive on paper, while creating more work, more quality issues and higher costs for the business.”

An attractive unit price. A strong business case. Then quality issues, delivery problems and growing coordination effort. What the calculation missed became visible in day-to-day operations.

That experience raises the question behind TrustChain360: what does a supplier relationship really cost us, and when does it become a business risk?

SEE SUPPLIERS IN CONTEXT

One portfolio.
Many dependencies.

Individual signals become meaningful when seen together.

A critical component. No alternative. Several affected teams. The same delivery deviation can have very different consequences.

TrustChain360 puts the assessment in this context.

PerformanceCriticalityBusiness Impact

Performance describes observed results. Criticality describes how much your business depends on a supplier.

The platform connects these perspectives with financial exposure, giving priorities a clear business rationale.

07 / ACTION & REASSESSMENT

Identifying a risk factor
is not yet an improvement.

What matters is what happens next — and what the evidence supports.

ILLUSTRATIVE CASE / UNRELIABLE DELIVERY DATES

Risk & priority
Supply of a critical component is at risk. Agree on the need for action.
Ownership & action
Procurement and planning agree a reliable delivery schedule with the supplier.
Due date & target outcome
Implement before the next assessment period, aiming for fewer unplanned delivery deviations.
Reassessment
Review delivery data, effort and implementation again. Has the risk actually decreased?

Risk Reduction needs evidence. A better score alone proves neither the effect of an action nor realized savings.
