Spectee Launches Global Risk Information Service for Supply Chain Management

Spectee Introduces Global Risk Information Service

In an era marked by increasing uncertainties from climate change and geopolitical tensions, effective management of supply chain risks has never been more crucial. Spectee, a Tokyo-based company led by CEO Kenjiro Murakami, offers innovative solutions to streamline global risk data management through their enhanced platform that aggregates news from around the world. This new feature is designed to facilitate immediate alerts and analytical insights into supply chain disruptions.

Evolving Challenges in Supply Chain Risk Management

Today’s businesses face a bewildering network of potential threats that can affect their operations.
In a climate of heightened instability, understanding how crises impact supply chains swiftly is essential for business continuity. Companies in manufacturing frequently rely on slow and manual methods to gather vital information during incidents, such as checking television news reports or directly contacting suppliers to assess damages, which consumes valuable time and resources. Moreover, immediate responses to unexpected risks during off-hours can sometimes depend heavily on the individual capabilities of team members, leading to inconsistencies in handling crises.

Recognizing these challenges, Spectee has revamped its system to manage global risk information in one centralized platform, facilitating accurate and rapid visualizations of supply chain disruptions regardless of the circumstances.

Incorporating Global News for Comprehensive Risk Insight

Until now, Spectee has collected risk information from various sources, including social media, meteorological data, and traffic reports. However, there has been a growing demand for information from traditional news outlets to complement the existing data sources, addressing gaps in risk identification and enhancing reliability.

In response, Spectee has integrated risk information from news sources worldwide into both of its services, Spectee SCR (Supply Chain Resilience) and Spectee Pro, offering real-time alerts and impact analysis for supply chains globally. Existing users of the Spectee SCR have already begun receiving these updates, while enhancements for Spectee Pro users are being rolled out progressively.

Visualizing Supply Chain Crises with Spectee SCR

The Spectee SCR platform serves as a comprehensive risk management tool that visualizes global threats affecting supply chains instantaneously. It leverages diverse information sources, including social media, weather data, governmental reports, and international news updates, allowing users to quickly assess incidents that may impact their suppliers and products. Companies can swiftly gauge the status of their suppliers, product impacts, and delivery delays through this advanced platform.
