Tier 2 and Tier 3 Supplier Intelligence

What we deliver

The Problem (Before)

Companies have limited visibility beyond their direct (Tier 1) suppliers. Disruptions at Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers cascade through the supply chain undetected until they cause shortages or delays.

Who feels this:

Supply Chain Manager

The Outcome (After)

Visibility into your suppliers' suppliers. Risk signals detected at Tier 2 and Tier 3 before they cascade to your operations.

What makes this different:

Companies have no visibility beyond Tier 1 suppliers. FourKites' Network Graph reveals Tier 2 and 3 supplier dependencies from actual shipment flow data, not self-reported surveys.

How it works

The building blocks behind this outcome.
What Happens

Network Graph maps supplier-to-supplier relationships from shipment flow data, aggregates risk signals across sub-tier patterns, and alerts when sub-tier disruptions threaten Tier 1 supply.

The Intelligence Behind It

Cross-company shipment flow patterns revealing supplier dependencies

Sub-tier supplier performance benchmarks from network data

Geographic and carrier concentration risk at sub-tier level

Disruption signal correlation with sub-tier supplier locations

This intelligence exists because the Graph aggregates behavior across 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, and 3.6 million facilities over 11 years.

Why This Cannot Be Replicated

Companies have no visibility beyond Tier 1 suppliers. FourKites' Network Graph reveals Tier 2 and 3 supplier dependencies from actual shipment flow data, not self-reported surveys. The intelligence layer is what creates the gap. Any analytics tool can query your data. Only FourSight queries the Graph: 11 years of cross-company intelligence that cannot be replicated with software alone.

Supplier and Trade Intelligence

Tier 2 and Tier 3 Supplier Intelligence is one outcome in a broader transformation. When deployed alongside these outcomes, supplier risk is monitored continuously across every tier. Trade compliance is automated. The Graph provides geographic risk intelligence, sanctions screening, and tariff analysis that no single company's data could produce.
