Supply chains are the lifeblood of commerce. However, the intricate network of suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors is not without its challenges, writes Marc Schrader Sr. Director Of Partnerships at Overhaul:

One of the most pressing concerns facing supply chain managers is the threat of fraud and theft. Solving this issue requires a collaborative approach that prioritizes sourcing optimization and security.

Enter Keelvar and Overhaul—two innovative companies that have joined forces to tackle these challenges through a groundbreaking partnership. Keelvar's cutting-edge sourcing optimization software pairs with Overhaul's real-time risk management platform to mitigate fraud and theft. Together, we are helping secure supply chains throughout the procurement process and beyond.

How our partnership is driving sourcing optimization and risk management

  1. Predictive Risk Assessments
    Keelvar's AI-powered sourcing optimization platform leverages advanced algorithms to analyze vast amounts of data. It then identifies potential supply chain risks, such as fraudulent suppliers or acts of non-compliance.

    Overhaul's real-time risk management platform further enables businesses to assess and predict risks in transit. From supplier selection to transportation logistics, companies can make informed decisions to mitigate risks before they escalate.
  2. Enhanced Visibility
    One of the biggest challenges in supply chain security is the lack of visibility across the entire ecosystem. With Overhaul's innovative risk monitoring platform, businesses gain unprecedented visibility into their supply chain operations.

    More specifically, they are able to track shipments in real time and leverage geospatial data, which translates to actionable insights.Paired with Keelvar's sourcing optimization software, companies can ensure end-to-end visibility.
