Interos – Reinventing Supply Chain Management with an Ai-Powered SaaS Platform

The Silicon Review

Tough times should call for specific and effective measures, not desperate ones. In every business venture, one’s true goal is to prepare for both the highs and the lows. This includes having the necessary measures in place when disasters strike. Disaster can come in many different forms, which may affect the operational resiliency of a business and how it can bounce back. This can be a devastating natural disaster, a public health crisis, or a security breach that dominoes into a business disruption. In whatever industry, achieving operational resilience should be one of the key priorities to business success. Operational resilience ensures that your business is continuously operational in times of disaster. Developing an end-to-end operational resilience strategy supports and hones the ability of your organization to immediately respond and adapt to the changes in the environment, systems, and processes.

Redefining Operational Resilience through Robust Solutions

Procurement Solutions: Procurement and supply chain professionals understand that supplier due diligence is more important than ever in today’s interconnected supply chains, which frequently span across the globe. Procurement teams need Agile Sourcing, which is the ability to quickly evaluate the risk of new and long-time suppliers, identify potential issues, and rapidly source alternatives. You also need to monitor your suppliers, and the sub-tier suppliers they depend on, continuously. Ensure confidence when bringing on third parties by surfacing the risks in the supply chains of new, unknown suppliers as well as your long-time suppliers. Using the power of AI and machine learning, Interos maps, monitors, and models your entire supply chain in order to detect distress and vulnerabilities across global physical and digital supply chains. It offers a breakthrough SaaS platform that uses artificial intelligence to model the total ecosystems of complex businesses into a living global map, down to any single supplier, anywhere.

The Interos Knowledge Graph (IKG): It is the world’s largest business relationship graph repository. It Leveraged machine learning and natural language processing, the IKG analyses big data to discover suppliers and their supplier networks across the globe, mapping out business relationships across entire ecosystems, and continuously assessing vendors against multiple risk types. Procurement, compliance, risk, and supply chain professionals understand that knowing who you do business with matters. But how do companies truly know who they do business with? Traditional, point-in-time vendor assessments and due diligence are time-consuming and fail to tell you if a supplier is compliant year-round, or just at the time of assessment. Assess whether your suppliers and their partners are operating sustainable businesses, acting as good corporate citizens, or engaging in unethical labor practices, counterfeiting products, and violating data protection standards. Model anticipated or actual changes in your supply chain to reduce risk and improve business performance. Automatically identify vulnerabilities and notify you before disruption to your supply chain.
