Mitigate risk across your entire supplier base, from raw materials to Tier 1 and beyond.
Supply chain risk teams at leading OEMs run on Z2
They are acting as major metrics in my PSL scorecard.
A supplier can pass every credit check and still be on a sanctions list, exposed to forced labor, or running every part from one site. One dimension is not enough, and surveys age out the day they arrive.
| Task | Without Z2 | With Z2 |
|---|---|---|
| Assess a supplier | One score, financials only, the rest unseen | One composite score across 8 risk categories |
| See sub-tier exposure | Tier 1 known, Tier 2-4 a black box | Sub-tier relationships mapped from trade and material data |
| Catch a supplier event | You hear about it after production stops | 120+ event types monitored, tied to your parts |
Each supplier carries a 0-100 score where lower means higher risk. These are the categories that build it.
| Capability | | Manual supplier surveys | Financial-data-only tools |
|---|---|---|---|
| One score across 8 risk categories | Yes | No | No |
| Sub-tier (Tier 2-4) visibility | Yes | No | No |
| Day-one data, no survey required | Yes | No | Partial |
| Sanctions and forced-labor screening | Yes | Partial | No |
| ESG and cyber risk scored | Yes | Partial | No |
| Site concentration and location risk | Yes | No | No |
| Continuous event monitoring | Yes | No | Partial |
| Supplier events tied to your parts | Yes | No | No |
| Financial and bankruptcy scoring | Yes | No | Yes |
One Score
Most tools hand you a credit score and call it risk. Z2 synthesizes fiscal health, bankruptcy probability, trade compliance, geopolitical exposure, site concentration, ESG, cybersecurity, and data transparency into a single 0-100 supplier risk score, where lower means higher risk. Public companies also get a dedicated bankruptcy score. You see why a supplier scores the way it does, not just the number, so a financially sound supplier still flags when it sits on a sanctions list or runs everything from one site.
Below Tier 1
Your Tier 1 supplier is known. The fab, foundry, and raw-material source behind it are usually a black box, and that is where concentration risk hides. Z2 establishes sub-tier relationships through full material declaration analysis and trade data from the U.S., India, Singapore, and China. These relationships are verified from records, not predicted by a model, so you can see Tier 2, 3, and 4 exposure and where a single point of failure feeds dozens of your parts.
Early Warning
A bankruptcy filing, a sanction, a factory fire, or an ESG violation only matters if you know which of your parts, products, and sites it touches. Z2 monitors 120+ risk event types in real time across thousands of sources in 20+ languages, scores the supplier accordingly, and connects each event to the affected parts in your BOM. No more triaging alerts with no relevance. You see the disruption forming and the parts at stake in the same view.
Everything on this page is Supplier Insights. It scores every supplier and sub-tier across eight risk categories, maps the relationships behind them, and ties live supplier events back to the parts they threaten, all in one tool.
Request a Trial
Upload your approved vendor list or BOM. Z2 matches each supplier to a profile in a database of 1M+ suppliers, no questionnaire required.
Z2 scores every supplier across eight risk categories and maps the sub-tier relationships behind them, down through Tier 2, 3, and 4.
Continuous event monitoring ties each supplier signal back to the parts it threatens, so you act before a disruption reaches the line.
Z2 draws on a proprietary database of 1M+ supplier profiles and 200K+ mapped manufacturing sites. You get day-one risk visibility on match, with no questionnaire to send and no waiting on response rates. The data is monitored continuously, so it does not go stale the way a collected spreadsheet does.
Z2 establishes sub-tier relationships through full material declaration analysis and trade data from the U.S., India, Singapore, and China. These relationships are verified from records rather than predicted, so you can see Tier 2, 3, and 4 exposure and concentration risk below your Tier 1.
Each supplier gets a 0-100 composite score across eight categories: fiscal health, bankruptcy risk, trade compliance, geopolitical risk, site concentration, ESG performance, cybersecurity, and data transparency. Lower means higher risk. You can open any category to see what drove the score.
Z2 screens suppliers against 31 sanctions and entity lists, including UFLPA, OFAC SDN, the BIS Entity List, NDAA lists, and EU and UK sanctions. Screening extends to sub-tier suppliers, so forced-labor and restricted-party exposure surfaces below Tier 1.
Z2 monitors 120+ risk event types across thousands of sources in 20+ languages. When an event hits a supplier, the score updates and the event links to the affected parts, products, and sites in your data. You triage by relevance instead of by volume.
The same risk intelligence runs across compliance, sub-tier, and event monitoring.
