The workflow

How Supply Chain Locations works

Define the required supply chain data. Specify the site, part, item, and process information suppliers must provide. Standardized templates establish clear data requirements and deadlines for each mapping request.

Request information from suppliers. Send guided requests to the relevant suppliers. Automated notifications and reminders replace fragmented email follow-up and help keep responses aligned with defined deadlines.

Map sites and production dependencies. AI summarizes supplier quotations, highlights relevant differences, and prepares structured comparisons so buyers can evaluate options more efficiently.

Validate and approve the mapping. Built-in checks identify incomplete or inconsistent submissions. Buyers review responses, request clarification, approve the mapping, and use the resulting data for reporting and analysis.

The Challenge

Critical Supply Chain Locations remain hidden

Manufacturers often lack visibility into the locations, processes, and sub-suppliers behind their direct suppliers. When disruptions, audits, compliance requirements, or quality issues arise, teams must reconstruct these relationships under pressure.

Dependencies remain hidden beyond Tier 1

Direct-supplier records do not show where individual parts are manufactured or which sub-supplier locations and process steps are involved. Geographic concentrations and production dependencies may remain undiscovered until an issue occurs.

Data collection requires extensive manual effort

Teams often collect location and dependency data through spreadsheets, emails, and individual supplier requests. Without standardized requirements and automated reminders, the process requires substantial coordination and produces inconsistent responses.

Documentation is not ready for analysis

Requirements such as LkSG, UFLPA, and CSRD increase the need for structured and auditable supply chain documentation. Sourcing, risk, compliance, and quality teams often lack a shared data basis for analysis and decision support.

The Solution

Turn supply chain location mapping into a controlled, auditable process

SupplyOn Supply Chain Locations combines location data, process mapping, and part-level relationships in one central repository. This turns multi-tier mapping from a one-off project into a structured, repeatable process.

Map sites, processes, and parts across tiers

Suppliers map their own manufacturing locations and, where needed, sub-supplier locations. Each site can include its name, address, location type, and geo data and be linked to relevant parts, items, and production steps.

Business impact
  • Visibility beyond Tier 1
  • Faster dependency analysis
  • Stronger site-level risk insight

Structure requests, validation, and approval

Standardized templates, deadlines, notifications, and reminders guide suppliers through data submission. Built-in validation checks completeness and consistency before buyers review responses, request clarification, and approve the mapping.

Business impact
  • Less manual follow-up
  • Higher response quality
  • More auditable mappings

Use location data across sourcing, risk, compliance, and quality

Supply Chain Locations integrates most directly with Sourcing and supports connections to source-to-contract, project management, and technical review processes. For risk, compliance, and quality, it provides structured data for analysis, reporting, and decision support, with API-based integration into other systems.

Business impact
  • Better sourcing decisions
  • Faster root-cause analysis
  • Stronger audit readiness

Frequently Asked Questions

Supply Chain Locations is SupplyOn’s capability for mapping manufacturing sites, process steps, and part-level relationships across the n-tier supply chain. It helps manufacturers create structured visibility beyond Tier 1 instead of relying only on direct supplier information.

SupplyOn can capture supplier and sub-supplier locations, including name, address, location type, and geo data. Those locations can then be linked to parts, items, process steps, and multi-tier relationships to create a deeper supply chain map.

A supplier list shows who your suppliers are. Supply Chain Locations shows where parts are made, which process steps are involved, and how sites relate across tiers. That makes it much more useful for risk analysis, compliance, sourcing, and root-cause investigation.

Suppliers receive structured requests to map their own locations and, where applicable, sub-supplier locations. They enter the required information in a guided workflow, the system validates completeness, and buyers can review, clarify, and approve the resulting supply chain mapping.

Yes. Supply Chain Locations is designed to connect locations with parts, items, and process steps, so teams can understand dependencies at a more operational level instead of only at the supplier-company level.

SupplyOn replaces manual outreach with standardized requests, automated reminders, guided supplier entry, and built-in validation. This makes participation easier for suppliers and improves response quality and response rates.

Illuminate every location in your value chain

Map supplier locations, process steps, and part relationships across multiple tiers in one structured process—so your teams can strengthen resilience, improve compliance readiness, and make more informed sourcing and risk decisions.
