Supplier and Company Analytics

See which suppliers and which ingredients carry your impact, and roll several workspaces into a single company figure.

Included in Action & Mitigation and above

Supplier analytics

Supplier analytics attributes your footprint to the suppliers behind it, so procurement conversations start from evidence rather than assumption.

Find it under Supply chain > Providers & suppliers, or through the Procurement dashboard. Four figures sit above the provider list:

The supplier analytics header: attribution, concentration, largest suppliers and origin exposure
  • Attributed to suppliers: what share of your impact belongs to a supplier at all. The rest is packaging, production and transport, which belong to no supplier, and saying so stops the figure being read as "the other 23% is unaccounted for".
  • Concentration: how much comes from your top three, with a count of ingredient lines that have only a single source. Single-sourcing is a resilience question as much as an impact one.
  • Largest suppliers: ranked by share, with single-source counts, and your own operations marked so you can tell what you control from what you buy.
  • Origin exposure: the countries your impact comes from, which is what the risk layer is scored against.

Two further figures appear on supplier detail, and they are not the same thing:

  • The workspace figure is unweighted exposure: how much of what you model comes from this supplier.
  • The report figure is volume-weighted share: how much of what you actually sold came from them.

Neither is shown unlabelled, because reading one as the other is the easiest mistake to make here.

Supplier is not ingredient

Impact is attributed two ways, and they answer different questions:

  • Supplier attribution answers who supplied it. The same wheat flour bought from three suppliers is three rows.
  • Ingredient attribution answers what it is. Those same three purchases are one row.

A reformulation acts on the ingredient. Procurement acts on the supplier. Both views exist because both decisions get made.

Company analytics

Where your organisation runs several workspaces, company analytics rolls them into one figure: a single portfolio footprint, one set of largest contributors, one risk position, across everything you own.

Company scope is sold separately from workspace analytics and access can be limited by role, because a company-wide rollup crosses boundaries that workspace permissions otherwise keep.

Why a new figure can be empty

Analytics figures are produced when a product is calculated. A workspace that has not been recalculated since you gained the feature has no rows behind it yet, and the dashboards will look empty rather than wrong.

The fix is a workspace recalculation, which your Sustained contact can trigger. It is deliberately not automatic: recalculating a large portfolio is a significant operation and it should be a decision rather than a side effect.
