8 External Signal Categories.
SAP Can't See Any of Them.

SAP only knows what suppliers tell you. Prophet monitors what they cannot hide — financial filings, shipping data, employee behavior, and more.

AI Prediction Architecture

Three Prediction Engines.
Purpose-Built AI. One Score.

Each engine specializes in a different type of supply chain risk. Together, they produce the unified Prophet Score.

Supplier Failure Predictor

AI Models
Zynoviq Predictive AI Ensemble
Accuracy Target
94.2%
Predicts

Bankruptcy, insolvency, operational shutdown, acquisition-driven disruption

Example Prediction

Predicted Tier-2 PCB supplier insolvency 47 days before filing — combined financial deterioration signals with workforce exodus data to generate Prophet Score 89

Demand Disruption Forecaster

AI Models
Zynoviq Temporal Forecasting Engine
Accuracy Target
91.7%
Predicts

Demand spikes, seasonal shifts, market contraction, order pattern anomalies

Example Prediction

Predicted 340% demand surge for semiconductor components 6 weeks before the automotive industry rush — triggered pre-emptive buffer stock recommendations

Logistics Risk Assessor

AI Models
Zynoviq NLP Risk Classifier
Accuracy Target
92.4%
Predicts

Route disruptions, port congestion cascades, carrier reliability degradation, customs delays

Example Prediction

Flagged Suez Canal alternative routing risk 12 days before Red Sea shipping disruptions escalated — recommended Mediterranean re-routing saved 18 days lead time

Unified Risk Scoring

The Prophet Score: 0 to 100.
One Number. Complete Clarity.

Three prediction engines combine their outputs into a single, actionable score. Every supplier in your SAP vendor master gets a Prophet Score — updated continuously.

0 - 30
Low Risk

Standard monitoring — quarterly review cycle

All signals within normal parameters. Continue existing procurement strategy.

31 - 60
Medium Risk

Enhanced monitoring — weekly reviews, identify 2-3 alternative suppliers

One or more signals showing deterioration. Pre-qualify backup suppliers proactively.

61 - 80
High Risk

Activate alternatives — reduce exposure, split orders, shorten PO commitments

Multiple signals corroborate risk. Begin shifting volume to qualified alternatives.

81 - 100
Critical Risk

Emergency sourcing — stop new POs, execute contingency plan, notify stakeholders

Imminent disruption expected. Execute emergency procurement protocols immediately.

Automated Contingency Planning

Prophet Flags the Risk.
Then Hands You the Solution.

When a supplier crosses into High or Critical risk, Prophet automatically identifies, ranks, and pre-qualifies alternative suppliers — so your team acts in hours, not weeks.

01

Identify Alternatives

Scans your SAP vendor master data, approved supplier lists, and historical procurement records to find every qualified alternative.

Cross-references material groups, certifications, and geographic coverage

02

Rank by Fit

Scores alternatives on 5 dimensions: capability match, lead time, quality history (PPM), geographic proximity, and cost competitiveness.

Weighted scoring customizable per material group and criticality level

03

Pre-Qualify Compliance

Validates ISO certifications, industry-specific compliance (IATF 16949, AS9100), sanctions screening, and sustainability ratings.

Automated compliance checks against 12 certification frameworks

04

Generate Emergency POs

Creates draft purchase orders with optimized quantities, negotiated framework agreement pricing, and expedited delivery terms.

Pre-populated POs ready for one-click approval in SAP ME51N

05

Migration Timeline

Produces a day-by-day migration plan including qualification testing, first article inspection, ramp-up schedule, and volume transfer.

Typical migration: 14-21 days for standard components, 45-60 days for custom

The Detection Gap

Traditional procurement teams operate with zero forward visibility. By the time a supplier misses a delivery, the damage is already cascading through your production lines, customer commitments, and revenue forecasts.

Average supplier bankruptcy detection: 0 days (after the fact)
Average production line recovery: 6-12 weeks
Average customer penalty clauses triggered: $2.4M per incident
Prophet early warning: 30-90 days BEFORE disruption
