Do different suppliers share a dependency?
Follow the branches beyond tier 1 to see where apparently separate supply chains meet. Investigate the businesses that connect more than one route.
Your suppliers.
The bigger picture.
Consultancy available · Platform tool coming soon
Understand upstream relationships through mapping consultancy. Work with our specialists to examine supplier records, clarify sourcing links and identify the evidence still missing.
Our one-click platform tool is in development. It will start with your tier 1 supplier list and map the relationships beyond it, connecting the network to relevant risk intelligence.
Start with your list.

An impression of supply-chain complexity. Illustrative relationships, not verified supplier data.
Your list tells you
who you buy from.
The network helps explain what sits behind them.
A direct supplier can connect to processors, trading businesses and production sites across several countries. Separate purchases may lead to the same upstream business.
Our planned mapping tool starts with the suppliers you already know and builds a view of those wider relationships. It is designed to make that complexity visible without asking your team to draw the network by hand.
Make the missing link the next question.
A network becomes useful when your team can distinguish a reported connection from one that still needs evidence. Take an uncertain link back to the supplier before relying on it in a sourcing decision.
Illustrative review, not verified relationships or a preview of a finished product screen.
- On your supplier list
- A packaging supplier You know the business you buy from and the carton it supplies.
- Reported upstream
- A paper mill named by the supplier Check the legal entity and whether it supplies this product.
- Still to establish
- The source of the fibre Request origin records and the evidence connecting them to the mill.
A focused next step Ask the packaging supplier to confirm the mill and fibre origins. Give the evidence request an owner and a review date, then revisit the connection when the answer arrives.
A map is useful when
it changes the questions you ask.
Where does the exposure actually sit?
Connect the businesses in the network with their sourcing geography. Bring country and sub-national CAHRA context to the places behind the purchase.
What needs to be confirmed?
Use the map to guide enquiry. Identifying a relationship creates a reason to examine its evidence, confirm the business and understand what passes between them.
The connections are
only part of the story.
Supply Chain Mapping will connect the relationship picture to the other tools in Aseri Intelligence. Explore the material, location or activity in the platform today, or commission research around the relationships your mapping enquiry identifies.
