ContexQ — Supply Chain

Supply Chain Intelligence

We sat down with supply chain leaders across industries. One pattern kept showing up.

Lean. Nimble. Decisive.

Not more dashboards. Not more vendors. A system that sees the whole network, reacts the moment it shifts, and points to the next move.

01 The Picture Today vs. The Picture With ContexQ

Today's Reality

The data exists. Just not in one place, and not all of it.

Internal risk lives in one system. External signals in another. News, sanctions, weather, finance — fragmented across teams and tools. And n-tier risk? Most companies know it matters, but can't actually see past their direct suppliers.

With ContexQ

One graph. Every disruption. Connected.

Financial, sanctions, geographic, logistics, supplier, and raw material risk — all in a single living network. When something shifts anywhere, ContexQ knows where it propagates and what to do about it.

02 What This Means When Something Actually Goes Wrong

The cost of disruption isn't the disruption itself. It's the days it takes to react.

In a traditional setup, by the time the right people see the right data, the supply is already gone — or the price has already moved.

Traditional Reaction · 5–10 Days

By the time you know, you've already lost the position.

03 Why this is a platform — not a model

The hard part isn't the AI. It's the connected truth underneath it.

Real supply chain decisions live in the connections between records — across name variants, ownership tiers, regions and time. ContexQ is built bottom-up to expose them. An LLM dropped on raw data answers fast and confidently. It also misses what matters.

Multi-source Fusion

INPUT LAYER

Internal systems + external feeds — news, sanctions, weather, financial signals, geopolitical events — streaming into one fabric.

Entity Resolution

THE KEY UNLOCK

Three "different" suppliers resolved into one ultimate entity. Across language, spelling, ownership, time. The thing dashboards quietly miss.

Knowledge Graph

CONTEXT LAYER

Resolved entity plus its network — n-tier suppliers, ownership chains, sanctioned parties — surfacing risks two and three hops away.

AI Reasoning

DECISION LAYER

Ranked, explainable next-best actions — grounded in the resolved graph. Auditable. Not a chatbot guess.

An LLM
on raw data

Skip these layers and ask a model directly? It will answer — confident, fluent, blind to the connection that mattered. Quietly. At scale.

Entity Resolution

Reconciles records across spelling, language, ownership, and time into a single resolved view.

Knowledge Graph

Surfaces n-tier relationships and hidden links — the context dashboards can't show.

Real-time Fusion

Internal data plus live external signals, continuously merged. No batch lag.

Explainable Decisions

Every recommendation traces back to the records and links that produced it. Auditable.
