Building A Supply Chain Risk Management Platform

Date: August 23, 2025

I recently built a supply chain risk management platform. It started as a simple idea: what if companies could get real-time alerts about hurricanes affecting their suppliers? But it evolved into something bigger.

What It Does

It monitors multiple risk factors that can disrupt supply chains:

• Hurricane tracking - Integrates with NOAA's API to track active hurricanes and calculate risk scores based on how close they are to your suppliers
• Port congestion - Monitors 80+ global ports for delays and congestion that could impact shipments
• Currency fluctuations - Tracks exchange rates for supplier currencies to identify financial risks
• Weather monitoring - Keeps tabs on weather conditions at supplier locations and shipping routes

The platform automatically filters this data based on each client's actual supply chain. So if you only have suppliers in Asia and ship through LA/Long Beach, you won't see alerts about European ports or Atlantic hurricanes.
