Supply Chain Risk
Every shock shows up in the news first.
Port closures, sanctions, attacks, strikes, cyber incidents, regulatory moves — the shocks that break supply chains almost always surface in the news before ERP or logistics systems feel them. Hizer turns that coverage into a live, country and corridor-level risk view.
What you get
Events that move supply chains
Relevant event types — sanctions, attacks, protests, strikes, cyber incidents, infrastructure failures, regulatory moves — are detected and tagged on every article, with countries and actors.
Country and corridor views
Roll event and risk signals up per country, region or logistics corridor so you can track stress on the specific geographies your operations depend on.
Entity and sector context
Entities and sectors are extracted from every article — so supply, logistics and procurement teams can pivot from country views to specific suppliers, partners or industries.
Where it earns its keep
Procurement and supplier risk
Monitor the countries and regions your suppliers operate in — and get an evidence-backed picture when new shocks emerge.
Logistics, operations and trade
Track disruptions on key trade corridors — ports, straits, rail, air, borders — as they are reported in local and global media.
Resilience and enterprise risk
Feed geopolitical event data into enterprise risk, BCM and scenario planning — from country exposure dashboards to board-level briefings.
Your questions, answered
How is this different from generic news alerts?
Instead of raw articles, you get structured events, risk signals, countries, sectors and entities on every article — so supply-chain-relevant signals can be filtered, aggregated and routed, not just read.
Can we monitor specific corridors or hubs?
Yes. Views can be scoped to the countries, regions, ports or corridors that matter — so the picture reflects your actual network, not a generic world map.
Does this cover local-language sources?
Yes. Hizer covers 235,000+ sources in 135 languages and 230 Countries and Jurisdictions — including the local-language reporting that often catches supply chain shocks first.
Can we integrate this with our own risk systems?
Yes. All enriched content is available via the News API, so it can flow directly into procurement, logistics, risk, BCM and analytics platforms.
