Inspectorio creates the retail industry’s first real-time network comprising brand-specific quality and compliance data, industry-wide insights and a supplier database, enabling AI-driven decision making

Inspectorio, the leading global supply chain solution provider for sourcing, sustainability, compliance and quality, today launched the retail industry’s first complete, real-time, AI-driven sourcing network for enterprise brands, retailers and suppliers. Inspectorio will showcase the network, Supply Chain Network Intelligence, for the first time at NRF 2026: Retail’s Big Show at booth #2056.

Supply Chain Network Intelligence evolves supply chain and sourcing strategy from developing isolated relationships and managing suppliers in siloed systems to operating in a holistic, cross-functional business network in which performance and risk insights are translated to action and new suppliers can be discovered to support resilience and growth initiatives.

Inspectorio is directly addressing the growing global need for supply chain visibility and traceability heading into 2026. Supply Chain Network Intelligence helps brands and retailers collaborate with their multi-tier sourcing ecosystems to optimize production strategy in the context of global trade policies, social and environmental regulatory requirements and margin improvement goals.

Leveraging the industry’s largest enterprise-grade network of over 15,000 global suppliers, factories and manufacturers, Supply Chain Network Intelligence delivers complete, tangible, real-time analysis and recommendations across all tiers of the supply chain.

“Global inflation and customer price sensitivity have forced retailers and brands to make cost-driven compromises on sourcing partners, product design and materials,” said Chirag Patel, CEO, Inspectorio. “Ensuring deep alignment with sourcing partners is necessary to meet today’s time-to-market, quality and compliance demands. Supply Chain Network Intelligence is the answer that the industry has been waiting for: a complete, holistic approach to managing and optimizing complex, multi-tier supplier ecosystems in real-time.”

Curating Complete Supply Chain Visibility

Built on top of Inspectorio’s core sourcing, quality, compliance and traceability solutions, Supply Chain Network Intelligence layers in industry-wide benchmarks and data feeds from Inspectorio’s broader supplier and partner ecosystem to deliver total retail industry insights on one network. It consists of three primary components:

• Network Profile — a structured, shareable profile database that allows suppliers and factories to capture and share key operational compliance and sustainability information across their brands and retailer client portfolios.
• Network Insights — a real-time view of a retailer or brand’s entire sourcing network, in which AI-driven risk and performance insights are augmented by industry benchmark data to generate actionable recommendations and scenario simulations.
• Sourcing Hub — a complete supplier discovery ecosystem with structured engagement workflows and open participation for seamless supplier showcasing, onboarding and collaboration against shared business goals.

The connected supply chain data generated by Inspectorio’s core platform, including product quality, compliance and multi-tier chain of custody data, is available in real time and is cross-validated by retailers, suppliers, inspectors, and certification and standards bodies. This results in the industry’s most accurate and complete source of information to generate insights, recommendations and workflows.

Delivering Next-Generation Supply Chain Insights

By linking retailer and brand–specific primary production chain data with genericized, industry-wide data and structured supplier information, Supply Chain Network Intelligence generates previously unavailable insights, including:

• Network and Relationship Insights — View an overlap of suppliers across categories to determine overreliance on single suppliers, gain visibility into Tier-2 and Tier-3 sourcing, and understand key innovation partners, such as which suppliers offer new material technologies or faster turnaround times.
• Compliance and Quality Insights — Gain real-time visibility into purchase orders that are at risk of non-compliance, view supplier audit pass/fail trends, and sort vendor classification based on quality and compliance history.
• Market and Cost Insights — Generate comparative cost benchmarks across suppliers and regions, view forecasted raw material price trends and understand currency volatility impacts on sourcing regions.
• Risk and Resilience Insights — Understand geopolitical risk exposure, supplier financial health, country of production diversification and logistics resilience with up-to-date, real-time information.

Inspectorio will demonstrate Supply Chain Network Intelligence, along with its entire industry-leading supply chain platform, at NRF 2026: Retail’s Big Show at booth #2056.
