Aelix Ops · Supplier risk, right-sized

Enterprise-grade supplier risk,
without the enterprise price tag.

Supplier risk scoring, delivery monitoring, single-source and concentration flags, and early warning on disruptions. Built for the mid-market manufacturer. Not the six-module procurement suite.

Agentic AI · The Supplier-Risk Agent

Procurement gets the situation already worked up. While there is still time to act.

A supplier's risk signal changes. The Ops agent investigates, maps your exposure (which parts and SKUs sit behind that supplier), and drafts a mitigation brief with alternate-source options. It flags the open POs at risk and hands procurement the situation already worked up, for approval, while there is still time to act.

01

Pick up the signal.

Financial health change, news event, geopolitical exposure, delivery slip. The agent surfaces it the moment it moves.

02

Map your exposure.

Which parts, which SKUs, which lines depend on this supplier. The blast radius, computed against your real BOM.

03

Draft the mitigation brief.

Alternate sources with comparable certifications, MOQs, and lead times. The trade-offs spelled out.

04

Flag the at-risk POs, propose alternates.

Open purchase orders tied to that supplier are flagged, with alternate sources proposed. Procurement approves before anything changes. Every step written to the audit trail.

How it stays trustworthy

Explainable.

Every risk score and every alternate source shows its drivers.

Human in the loop.

Procurement makes the call. The agent prepares it.

Guardrailed.

Limits you set on which signals trigger an alert. Nothing changes on a PO without a procurement sign-off.

Audited.

Every supplier event, every action, written to the audit trail.

The cost of inaction

A supplier list in a spreadsheet costs more than time.

Surprise

A supplier slips and you find out from a late shipment

Exposure

Single-source parts nobody mapped until the line stopped

Scramble

Supplier certificates scattered across inboxes when the auditor asks

What you get

01

Supplier risk scoring.

Every supplier gets a risk score built from delivery history, quality issues, financial-health signals, and geographic exposure. Each score shows its drivers, so your team can see why a supplier moved.

02

Performance and delivery monitoring.

On-time delivery, lead-time drift, and quality escapes tracked supplier by supplier. A scorecard your buyers and quality team both read from, instead of two spreadsheets that disagree.

03

Single-source and concentration risk.

See which parts depend on one supplier, one region, or one sub-tier, mapped against your real BOM. Know your exposure before a disruption shows it to you.

04

Early warning on supplier disruptions.

Delivery slips, financial-health changes, and news or geopolitical events surface as alerts tied to the parts and orders they affect, while there is still time to act.

05

Supplier onboarding and qualification.

Certificates, quality agreements, questionnaires, and insurance documents in one supplier record, with expiry dates tracked. Audit-ready supplier records without the last-minute scramble.

Why it lands

Early

Warning on supplier disruptions, before the shipment is late

Mapped

Single-source and concentration exposure against your BOM

Signed

Every PO change approved by procurement

The question every buyer asks

"Will it switch suppliers on its own?" No. Ops flags the at-risk POs and proposes the alternates. Procurement approves before anything changes. The agent prepares, your team decides.
