AI-Powered Tier Discovery

To make risk beyond your direct suppliers visible, the catalogue will show supply chain relationships as a hierarchy and AI will propose the suppliers your third parties are likely to depend on. Today the catalogue lists the companies you contract with but says much less about who they in turn depend on, so risk sitting one step further out stays invisible until something breaks.

Key Enhancements

• hierarchy in the catalogue: direct suppliers are listed on their own, each showing how many sub-suppliers sit beneath it.

• expandable rows: expand a supplier to see its sub-suppliers nested underneath, rather than flattened into one long list.

• shared suppliers shown in each place: a supplier serving more than one of your third parties appears under each of them.

• AI-proposed suppliers: AI suggests the suppliers your third parties are likely to depend on, giving a reason and a source for each.

• contained until reviewed: proposals arrive in the catalogue marked Identified and stay out of assessment recipients, dropdowns and every other list until you decide on them.

• accept or dismiss: accept a proposal and it becomes a third party you can monitor, taking its stakeholders from the supplier above it. Dismiss it and it disappears.

Requires AI enabled for your tenant.

This update will extend visibility one tier beyond your direct suppliers, and turn tier mapping from a manual research task into a review of what AI has already found.
