Teams move to Z2 for one platform that maps the supply chain past Tier 1 and ties live event monitoring to the parts and products underneath — so you see what's exposed and where to source next.
Supply chain resilience teams at leading electronics OEMs run on Z2
![]()
Z2 has been a valuable tool allowing our organization to avoid supply driven product redesigns and, alternatively, massive inventory over-purchasing. Manually gathering and analyzing market data is incredibly labor intensive. Z2 has allowed our team to react quickly and regularly to early warning signs.
A survey-driven map shows suppliers and sites. When an earthquake or sanction lands, you still spend days pulling BOMs by hand to answer the only question that matters: which of our products just stopped.
| Task | Without Z2 | With Z2 |
|---|---|---|
| Map below Tier 1 | Wait on supplier survey completion | Verified sub-tier mapping, no survey |
| A site goes down | Alert names the site, not the parts | Event rolls up to parts and products |
| Find a way around it | No alternate sourcing in the tool | Qualified alternates surfaced beside the part |
Every supplier in your network is scored across twelve dimensions before an event ever fires, so triage starts from data, not a blank page.
| Capability | | Other competitors | Manual supplier mapping |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part-to-site mapping (MPN to fab/assembly) | Yes | No | No |
| Verified sub-tier mapping (Tier 2/3/4) | Yes | Partial | No |
| BOM and product impact rollup | Yes | No | No |
| Event monitoring tied to parts | Yes | Partial | No |
| Tariff, COO, and HTS exposure | Yes | No | No |
| UFLPA and sanctions screening | Yes | No | No |
| Alternate sourcing surfaced in-tool | Yes | No | No |
| Supplier risk pre-scored before an event | Yes | Partial | No |
| 270+ regulations on the same platform | Yes | No | No |
Sub-tier mapping
Z2 maps your network down to Tier 2, 3, and 4 using verified part and site data, then traces each MPN to the fab or assembly site that actually builds it. You see the concentration and single-source dependency below Tier 1 that a supplier survey never reaches, with no waiting on who replies.
Impact analysis
A supplier-level alert tells you something happened. It doesn't tell you whether it matters. Z2 ties every one of 120+ monitored event types to the parts that source from the affected site, then rolls that impact up through your BOMs to the finished products and revenue at stake, so triage starts with the answer instead of a manual BOM hunt across hundreds of suppliers.
Trade and compliance
Tariff, country-of-origin, and forced-labor exposure usually sit outside a resilience tool, so teams reconcile across separate vendors and contracts. Z2 screens your network against UFLPA, OFAC SDN, the BIS Entity List, and 30+ sanctions and entity lists, exposes HTS-level tariff and COO risk inside the same map, and adds 270+ regulations from RoHS to CSRD on the platform you already use for resilience.
Sub-Tier Intelligence is the Z2 product that maps your supply chain past Tier 1, ties every part to the site that builds it, and connects live disruption events to the products and sourcing options at stake. It turns a supplier-level resilience view into part-level answers, without depending on supplier surveys to fill the map.
Request a Trial
Drag in any spreadsheet, CSV, or ERP/PLM export. Z2 maps roughly 70% of off-the-shelf electronic components to their manufacturing sites on day one.
Z2 extends the map below Tier 1 and pre-scores every supplier across twelve risk factors and 1M+ profiles, so the risk picture is built before an event fires.
When one of 120+ event types hits, Z2 shows the affected parts and products and surfaces alternate sources, ready to act on.
Z2 maps sub-tier suppliers to Tier 2, 3, and 4 using verified, AI-enabled part and site data instead of waiting on supplier surveys, and ties each part to the manufacturing site that makes it. That removes the latency and below-Tier-1 coverage gaps that survey-based maps leave behind.
Both. Z2 tracks 1B+ electronic components and maps 200K+ manufacturing sites, so a disruption resolves down to the affected MPNs and the BOMs they sit in. That component-level data sits underneath the supplier and site map, not separate from it.
A resilience tool answers what happened to which supplier or site. Z2 answers what that event means for your parts, products, revenue, and sourcing options, with part-level intelligence and product impact analysis on the same map.
Yes. Z2 screens against UFLPA, OFAC SDN, the BIS Entity List, and 30+ sanctions and entity lists, exposes HTS-level tariff and country-of-origin risk, and covers 270+ regulations on the same platform. With a resilience-only tool, that work usually lives in separate systems.
Most BOMs arrive with roughly 70% of off-the-shelf electronic components already mapped to their manufacturing sites, which the KB notes is unmatched in electronics. Z2-led supplier campaigns close the remaining gaps from there.
One platform across the risk, resilience, and trade domains your teams cover.
