Time to dig a bit deeper in your supply chain?

^{Notes from the CEO | Henrik Halvorsen | September 2025}

Dear reader,

In today’s complex and fast-moving markets, future-ready supply chains are built on trust and transparency. When customers and suppliers work from a single source of truth, misunderstandings decrease, performance improves, and a spirit of co-innovation can evolve.Transparent SRM platforms create space for close collaboration on new solutions, sustainability initiatives, and supply chain resilience, benefiting all parties and ensuring shared growth.

But true transparency means looking beyond that which is immediately visible. For long-term stability and risk management, companies must extend their focus past tier 1 and 2 suppliers. Visibility into the full supply network, including deeper, less obvious tiers, allows potential disruptions or risks to be detected earlier and managed proactively. This broader perspective is key to building a resilient and responsible value chain that earns trust from end to end.

By leveraging these digital SRM tools, organisations can start a journey of moving confidently from transactional dealings to trusted, adaptable partnerships, unlocking greater value and ensuring supply chain success in an unpredictable world. For some sectors with higher regulatory compliance requirements, multi tier visibility has been on the agenda for a long time, but definitely not for all. Is 2026 the year when you should start the journey of looking a bit deeper? If you need help to narrow this down and discuss how to approach with the help of Factlines’ chain solution, reach out to us.
