How FRDM
Works

Get deep visibility into your entire supply chain

Step 1: Load Your Suppliers
‍Upload your supplier list in any format. FRDM's AI automatically validates, cleanses, and standardizes your data—no preparation required

‍Step 2: Automatic Data Enrichment
‍FRDM connects each supplier to millions of global data points, adding:Geographic risk indicators and sanctions screeningIndustry-specific risk exposuresESG indicators (carbon, labor, governance)Compliance history and certificationsAI-generated Bill of Materials
‍
‍Step 3: AI-Powered Supply Chain Mapping
‍Without contacting any suppliers, FRDM maps your entire network up to Nth tier, revealing:
-Sub-tier suppliers in high-risk regions
-Hidden dependencies and relationships
-Material flow from raw materials to finished products
-Geographic risk concentration

‍Result: Visibility into the 85% of your supply chain that was previously invisible.

Prioritize actions based on threat level and proximity

Step 4: AI Risk Scoring and Prioritization
‍FRDM automatically scores every supplier across multiple risk dimensions:
-Human rights and forced labor
-Environmental and climate impact
-Governance and corruption
-Trade compliance and sanctions
-Geopolitical exposure

Your dashboard shows:
Threat Levels: Severity of risk (critical, high, medium, low)
‍Proximity: How close the risk is to your operations
‍The critical few: 10-20 suppliers representing 80-90% of your total risk

‍Step 5: Continuous 24/7 Monitoring
‍FRDM scans thousands of data sources daily, sending real-time alerts for:
-New sanctions or regulatory actions
-Adverse media coverage
-Geopolitical developments
-Tariff changes
-Upstream warnings

‍Result: You know exactly where to focus and you're never caught off guard by emerging risks.

Improve suppliers, collaborate, and prove compliance

Step 6: Deploy Targeted Supplier Due Diligence
‍Send customized assessments and data requests to suppliers through FRDM's secure portal. Suppliers respond with documentation and evidence—all tracked and scored in real-time.

‍Step 7: Assign Corrective Actions
‍Review supplier responses, identify gaps, and assign remediation plans. FRDM provides guided workflows for suppliers to complete improvements and upload evidence of progress.

‍Step 8: Collaborate Through Supplier Portal
-Your suppliers access a free, secure portal where they can:
-Complete assessments and corrective actions
-Receive training on specific risk areas
-Upload certifications and compliance documentation
-Track their performance 
-Benefit from supply chain intelligence

‍Step 9: Generate Audit-Ready Reports
-Create professional reports in minutes for any stakeholder:
-Board presentations and executive dashboards
-Regulatory compliance documentation (LkSG, CSDDD, UFLPA, CSRD)
-Customer due diligence responses
-ESG disclosures for investors
-Audit trails proving your due diligence

‍Step 10: Measure and Optimize
‍Track your overall supply chain risk score, individual supplier improvements, and ROI from risk reduction initiatives. Continuously refine your approach based on data.

‍Result: Measurable risk reduction, active supplier partnerships, and complete compliance documentation.

AI does the heavy lifting:
Automated mapping and enrichment means visibility in weeks, not months

‍Real Example:
AstraZeneca used FRDM with 149 suppliers and discovered just 8 sub-tier entities accounted for over 90% of human rights warnings—enabling focused remediation instead of overwhelming efforts.neighborhoods we served.
