What n-Tier Mapping Roll-out Looks Like
Weeks 1-2: your tier-1 suppliers receive portal invitations for the products in scope, with outreach in local languages and time zones. Weeks 3-8: cascading discovery works down the tiers as each supplier names its own suppliers, with the engagement team driving response. By day 60, chains reach raw material and the map is dense enough to work with. From there the map runs continuously, refreshing as sourcing changes and seasons turn.

Verified at the product level
Discovery ties to your bill of materials, so the map carries product context to origin: this cathode from this refiner from this mine, this yarn from this spinner from this gin. Customers routinely find three times more sub-tier suppliers than their prior records showed. Product-level context is what lets one map answer a forced labor trace, a tariff origin claim, and a deforestation filing without rework.

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.
