The supply chain flow map open on a laptop: the cobalt route traced from artisanal mine sites in the Democratic Republic of the Congo up through smelters, refiners and cathode makers to the battery pack manufacturer, with a supplier panel below showing position, country of origin and risk level
The Challenge

Due diligence was static, and the world wasn't.

Sourcing commodities like copper, cobalt and gold from high-risk regions demands meticulous due diligence, OECD Annex II, AML/CFT checks, watchlist screening, site audits, ESG scoring. Traditional approaches were static: a supplier filled in a form, an analyst scored it, and six months later the risk profile was already out of date.

Compliance teams juggled disconnected tools for financial verification, watchlist cross-referencing, audit tracking and ESG reporting, with no way to triangulate evidence across sources or surface red flags automatically.

The Solution

Living supplier profiles, always up to date.

An integrated platform where each supplier is a continuously evolving record. Inherent risk, residual risk and audit performance are tracked as three independent dimensions. Triangulation from multiple sources (self-assessment, third-party audits, independent research) keeps every field current and traceable.

Red flags surface automatically when new information contradicts a supplier's record. Reports are generated on demand for any regulatory framework (OECD, LBMA, RMI) with full source-tracking baked in.

Supplier assessment for a copper mine: inherent risk, residual risk and audit performance as three separate readings, location on a map, audit criteria scored against the OECD-aligned checklist, and the self-assessment entry form the supplier fills in alongside it
Supplier assessment, the analyst's read and the supplier's own entry form side by side
