Verified Data Collection
Sourcemap collects supply chain data directly from the facilities that produce, process, and trade materials, rather than inferring relationships from shipping manifests or public records. Every mapped supplier is confirmed as a source for the customer's specific materials and processes, which eliminates false positives and produces evidence regulators accept. The platform holds 11M+ businesses across 80+ countries, so most invited suppliers are recognized on arrival and onboarding time falls accordingly.

Sub-Supplier Discovery
Tier-1 suppliers receive secure requests to identify their own suppliers for the materials in scope; the platform then invites each newly identified tier and repeats the process until supply chains are documented to raw material origin. Programs typically identify 5 to 10 times more suppliers than they invite and reach raw material origin within approximately 60 days. Sourcemap manages all invitations, reminders, and response tracking.

Bill-of-Materials Mapping
Product hierarchies enter the platform through a dedicated interface: article identifiers, customs classification codes, component relationships, and supplier assignments. A rules engine determines what each supplier must provide based on the component's classification, declared materials, and facility location, so a single request satisfies every applicable regulation. Component-level answers aggregate to the finished article: total material content by weight, origin-weighted duty exposure, and export-ready reports for customs submission.

Transaction Documentation
The platform collects the records behind each supplier relationship: purchase orders, invoices, shipping documents, production certificates, and origin declarations, attached to the specific transfer they evidence. Volume reconciliation compares documented inputs and outputs at each tier, identifying substitution and origin misstatement before customs does. Documentation completeness is tracked as a percentage by commodity, supplier, and tier, converting audit readiness into a managed metric.

Continuous Restricted-Entity Screening
Every supplier in the map is screened continuously against 80,000+ restricted and high-risk entities drawn from United States and European Union government sources. Matching accounts for transliteration, trading names, subsidiaries, and address variants across languages, and each candidate match is presented with its evidence for human decision. Alerts identify the affected products and trade lanes, so exposure is quantified the day a listing changes.

Managed Supplier Engagement
A dedicated team conducts outreach by email and telephone in the supplier's language, with the portal available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, and Korean. The team handles onboarding, data quality review, and reminder scheduling aligned to commodity seasons. Customer staffing requirements stay flat as programs scale; response rates above 90% through tier 3 remove the largest cost and failure risk in traceability programs.

AI Document Review
Automated reading of supplier documents at the moment of collection: production sites extracted from certificates, dates and volumes from invoices, findings from audit reports. Extractions are checked against the map and against each other, and inconsistencies are flagged for human review. Compliance teams review the full document volume rather than a sample, without added headcount. Available to a limited cohort of enterprise customers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is supply chain mapping?
Supply chain mapping is the process of documenting every tier in a company's physical supply chain including all raw material extraction/production, all refining and manufacturing sites, and all logistics waypoints involved in bringing goods to market. EU and US regulations require supply chain mapping to be performed by collecting supplier-attested data and validating it using third-party data and/or assurance. Sourcemap introduced the first software for large-scale supply chain mapping based on supplier-attested data in 2011.
What is supply chain traceability?
Supply chain traceability is the process of documenting every transaction in a company's physical supply chain from raw materials to finished goods. US and Canadian authorities require supply chain traceability as part of importer guidance, and both EU and US authorities require supply chain traceability for content claims such as '100% recycled'. In order for companies to trace transactions at every tier of their supply chain they must collect evidence of transactions at every tier. Sourcemap introduced the first software for large-scale raw material-to-finished goods traceability to comply with US forced labor regulation in 2021.
What is supply chain transparency?
Supply chain transparency is the process of disclosing the physical flow of goods behind products in a way that can be readily understood by customers, consumers and/or regulators. Supply chain transparency is becoming commonplace in industries including apparel and food, and may be required by forthcoming regulations in North America and Europe. Supply chain transparency can only be achieved based on validated supplier-attested data since it necessitates the consent of all upstream suppliers. Sourcemap introduced the first platform for supply chain transparency on a global scale in 2008.
How are customs compliance and supply chain transparency related?
The US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the EU all require some degree of supply chain mapping to comply with trade regulation. The US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand all require companies to import products free of forced labor, which is based on accounting for all of the suppliers in the supply chain from raw material to import. The EU requires companies to identify upstream suppliers at high risk of social or environmental non-compliance, and to map all the way to individual farms in order to prove deforestation-free sourcing.
