Amid a volatile tariff landscape, a global auto manufacturer was initially unable to quantify exposure and mitigate risk. With the product network, they unlocked a way to pinpoint exposure down to the shipment level and search for qualified suppliers — ultimately discovering more than $50 million in savings.
Before the Product Network
- Volatile tariff landscape increased costs by $500 million
- Sub-tier nature tariff exposure across multi-tier value chains and suppliers made fully quantifying and mitigating risk impossible
With the Product Network
- Pinpointed exposure down to shipment level, giving a clear view of tariffs’ impact on component and product costs
- Identified high-risk suppliers and quantified impact by cost
- Gained ability to quickly search for qualified suppliers outside of affected trade lanes — discovering more than $50 million in savings
