FMCG & MANUFACTURING
One Supplier Fails. Production Stops. One Distributor Fails. Deliveries Stop. Which Ones? You Have No Idea.
Know which suppliers will fail. Before they do.
Supplier and distributor resilience prevents production stops and delivery failures. You know this. But assessing 500 of them manually? Impossible. So you're stuck watching failures you could have prevented. Continuity Strength assesses and monitors your entire portfolio in a fraction of the time and cost without adding headcount.
The Questions You Can't Answer
Your need to know which suppliers and distributors are high-risk. The auditor wants proof they have backup plans. You're guessing.
Boss Wants Answers
"Which suppliers and distributors pose the highest risk?" You literally cannot answer this question without assessing hundreds individually. Result: You're managing blind.
Auditor Wants Proof
The auditor asks for supplier and distributor continuity documentation. You show up with outdated PDFs and crossed fingers. Result: Failed audits and expensive remediation.
Partners Fail Without Warning
Supplier goes down, production stops for 3 days. Distributor fails, deliveries stop. Costs millions. You had zero warning. Result: Broken commitments and blame.
How It Works
Invite
Onboard suppliers and distributors in minutes with simple email invites. No complex IT setup or training required.
Assess
Suppliers and distributors complete guided questionnaire in 30-45 minutes capturing continuity, incident response, and recovery practices for compliance-standards alignment.
Generate
Our solution automatically creates standardized business continuity and incident response plans for each supplier and distributor, meeting industry audit requirements.
Score
Each supplier and distributor receives resilience score (0-100) with specific gap identification and clear remediation priorities to improve supply chain maturity.
