Product Feature
Part-to-Site Mapping traces every MPN in your BOM to the site that makes it, then follows the route into your final assembly, across tier 1 and sub-tier sites.
Overview
Most organizations rely on supplier surveys to learn where their parts are made, a slow process that depends on supplier responsiveness and whoever answers the email. Z2 takes a different approach. Part-to-Site Mapping in Supply Chain Watch delivers manufacturing location data immediately, without outreach, tracing each part number to the fabs, assembly plants, and outsourced facilities that build it. You start with up to 70% out-of-the-box coverage of off-the-shelf components on day one, and Z2 keeps researching the rest until each part is confirmed.
Upload your BOM and Supply Chain Watch maps each MPN to the location where it is produced, not just the supplier you buy from. The result is a geographic view of your supply chain that pinpoints countries of origin, concentration risk, and the exact facilities production depends on. Built through PCNs, public sources, and Z2's own research teams, this maps up to 70% of the off-the-shelf components in a typical BOM on the first day.
Not every part can be confirmed to a single factory at first pass, so Z2 grades each mapping by confidence instead of guessing. Confirmed locations are verified to an exact site through reliable sources. The 90% tier narrows a part to five or fewer possible sites. Possible flags parts with more than five candidates. That transparency lets you act on confirmed sites now while Z2's teams keep investigating the 90% and Possible parts until they reach confirmed status.
Disruption rarely starts at your direct supplier. It starts at the fab, the sub-assembly shop, or the outsourced partner three steps upstream. Part-to-Site Mapping extends past tier 1 to tier 2, 3, and 4, surfacing the outsourced and sub-component locations most tools never see. Once Z2 knows where all your parts are made, Supply Chain Watch monitors every site for disruptions, tariff exposure, and single-source dependencies, turning a static map into continuous risk coverage.

Common Questions
It covers up to 70% of the off-the-shelf components in a typical BOM on day one, with no surveys or outreach. Z2 builds this from product change notifications, public sources, and its own research, then keeps investigating the rest until each location is confirmed.
Confirmed means the part is verified to an exact site through reliable sources. 90% means it is narrowed to five or fewer possible sites. Possible means more than five candidates remain. Z2 keeps researching the 90% and Possible parts until they reach confirmed status.
Yes. Mapping reaches tier 2, 3, and 4 sites, including the outsourced partners and sub-assembly facilities most tools cannot see. That sub-tier visibility is what makes downstream disruption and tariff analysis accurate.
