For supply chain and operations leaders
Which component has one qualified source and no second. Which site depends on a single supplier for a third of its inbound. Which supplier's on-time rate has slipped for three months. From the purchase ledger, receipts and the supplier master, supplier IDs only.
Every supply chain has a handful of parts and sites where one supplier is the whole story. Covirage finds them from the receipts, values the exposure, and watches on-time and quality trends so the risk is visible before the line stops.
Parts with one qualified source, or one source in use, ranked by annual value.
Inbound share by supplier per site, with a threshold you set.
On-time and quality by supplier, month on month, from the receipts and returns.
Three steps, in this order.
Goods received by supplier, part and site.
Qualified sources per part. A spreadsheet is fine.
Site leads see their exposure. The VP of supply chain sees the roll-up.
Short answers. The Help center has the long ones.
Procurement measures contract compliance and spend share. Supply chain measures continuity: sources, concentration and performance.
Any export with supplier, part, site, quantity and date. SAP, Oracle and NetSuite work as they are.
No. It works from your own receipts and complements external risk feeds.
