Know your suppliers' suppliers
Supply chain mapping gives companies visibility into their indirect supply chains down to the origin of raw materials - in other words, it allows companies to know their suppliers' suppliers. Since introducing the first software for supply chain mapping in 2011 Sourcemap has expanded a suite of software and services to enable continuous, verifiable supply chain mapping across a multitude of industries.

Supplier and Sub-Supplier Portal
Sourcemap features a central supply chain mapping portal that enables large numbers of suppliers to quickly and accurately identify and locate all of their own and their suppliers' facilities. Sourcemap's supplier portal provides a single point of access for all suppliers to respond to customer requests for mapping and traceability data using a standard data format and without any duplication of efforts. Where needed, Sourcemap invites sub-suppliers to register and map their own supply chains to arrive at the raw material origins. The same portal works for mapping and tracing bulk commodities and specialized manufactured goods across all industries with a physical supply chain. Sourcemap is used by raw materials producers, traders, manufacturers, contract manufacturers, distributors, retailers.

Continuous Mapping
Supply chains are constantly changing, and Sourcemap's supply chain mapping portal is the only one to support continuous mapping. Suppliers and sub-suppliers at every tier are responsible for keeping their supplier mapping up-to-date and responding to traceability requests on a schedule set by production batches and contracting periods. Continuous mapping combined with supplier watchlist and news monitoring ensures that customers of Sourcemap have a near real-time understanding of their risk exposure across their entire global supply chains.

Supply Chain Verification
Supply chain data provided by suppliers cannot be taken at face value, instead Sourcemap verifies the supply chain map continuously through integrity checks and cross-referencing with third-party databases including supplier registries and international watchlists. Supply chain mapping is enhanced by transaction traceability to provide real-time accounting for all transactions and additional assurance of no fraud, waste or abuse in the supply chain.

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.
