The Everstream Analytics platform provides end-to-end supply chain risk management through five core capabilities:

  • Network Mapping: The foundation of the platform that creates a dynamic digital twin of your supply chain to optimize resilience and predict risks.
  • Global Monitoring & Alerting (Reveal): AI-driven, 24/7 risk alerts and insights that track suppliers, shipments, and global locations.
  • Risk Assessment (Explore): Supplier scorecards that evaluate supplier vulnerability using predictive modeling and historical data.
  • Sub-Tier Visibility (Discover): Advanced mapping that uncovers hidden relationships beyond Tier-1 suppliers to improve compliance and manage hidden risks.
  • Insights-to-Action: Seamless integration capabilities that embed risk intelligence directly into your existing planning and execution systems for real-time decision optimization.

No, you do not need to use all the solutions together. The platform is modular, allowing you to choose the capabilities that best fit your needs. 

Getting started begins with Network Mapping — the foundation of the platform. Everstream Analytics first maps the suppliers, locations, lanes, and assets you want to include in your risk management program. This can be built directly within the platform or integrated seamlessly with your existing systems via API or Data-as-a-Service (DaaS). 

From there, you can build your program based on your priorities: 

  • Standalone options: You can use Reveal (Global Monitoring & Alerting) or Explore (Risk Assessment) as independent, standalone solutions. 
  • Recommended packages: While Discover (Sub-Tier Visibility) can be purchased individually, we highly recommend pairing it with both Reveal for real-time risk alerting and Explore for risk assessment scoring. Layering Explore onto your sub-tier results allows you to proactively sense and understand hidden risks — ensuring your sub-tier mapping translates into active risk mitigation, not just visibility. 

No, you do not have to work exclusively within the Everstream Analytics platform. Our risk intelligence is designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing daily workflows.

Through our Insights-to-Action capabilities, Everstream connects directly with major enterprise systems, including:

  • ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning): SAP, Oracle, and others.
  • Supply Chain Planning Systems: Kinaxis and other leading platforms.
  • TMS (Transportation Management Systems): For real-time logistics and routing optimization.

This allows your teams to receive predictive alerts and make risk-optimized decisions without ever leaving the software systems they already use every day. Then you can dive deeper into the platform for deeper insights.
