Your Steel Supplier Just
Declared Force Majeure.
Your structural steel comes from one supplier. They supply 73% of your rebar across six active projects. Yesterday, they declared force majeure. Three of your projects just stopped. Your PM found out when the delivery truck didn't show up.
The Hidden Risk in Your Supply Chain
Single-source dependencies are invisible until they detonate. By then, it is too late to qualify an alternate.
Invisible Concentration Risk
Your procurement team negotiated great unit prices with a single steel supplier. They supply 73% of your rebar, structural steel, and decking across 6 active projects. Nobody mapped the dependency. Nobody calculated what happens when one vendor controls three-quarters of your steel pipeline.
Lead Time Volatility You Cannot See
Lead times for structural steel have drifted from 8 weeks to 14 weeks over the past 6 months. But nobody tracks lead times at the category level across projects. Your schedulers are using the same 8-week assumption from the bid phase. Every schedule is wrong.
Quality Dependency with No Backup
When your sole-source concrete supplier sends a bad batch, you have no qualified alternate. Mill certs, mix designs, and testing protocols are all tied to one vendor. Qualifying a replacement takes 6-8 weeks. Your pour schedule cannot wait 6-8 weeks.
Financial Cascade Exposure
One supplier bankruptcy does not stop one project. It stops every project that depends on them. Your $2.4M in outstanding POs becomes an unsecured claim. Three project schedules slip simultaneously. Liquidated damages start accruing on all three. The financial exposure dwarfs the original procurement savings.
How POD Eliminates Single-Source Blindness
Real-time vendor intelligence across your entire portfolio. Know the risk before the disruption.
Concentration Risk Scoring
POD calculates a Herfindahl index per material category across your entire portfolio. When any supplier exceeds your concentration threshold, you get an alert — not after they fail, but while you still have time to qualify alternatives.
Lead Time Trend Monitoring
Every delivery is tracked against the original lead time commitment. POD surfaces lead time drift per supplier and per material category. When steel lead times extend from 8 to 14 weeks, your schedulers know on week 9 — not week 15 when the truck does not show up.
Supplier Quality Tracking
Track rejection rates, NCR frequency, and inspection pass rates per vendor. POD identifies quality degradation trends before they become project-stopping defects. Your quality team sees which suppliers are slipping — and which alternates are outperforming.
Financial Exposure Alerts
POD maps outstanding PO value, payment terms, and delivery commitments per supplier across every active project. When your exposure to a single vendor crosses your risk threshold, the executive dashboard lights up before the CFO has to ask the question.
Watch a Single Supplier Failure Cascade
One supplier declares force majeure. Within hours, three projects stop. This is what unmonitored concentration risk looks like.
Supply Chain Exposure — Single Points of Failure You Can't See
These KPIs update automatically from your procurement data. Concentration risk is calculated in real time across every active project.

Supply Chain Intelligence — Built In
Vendor Dependency Map
Visual network graph showing which suppliers feed which projects, with connection thickness proportional to spend. Single points of failure glow red. Cascade paths are traced automatically.
Lead Time Dashboard
Whisker-box plots per material category showing min, average, and max lead times with target overlays. Trend lines reveal drift before it becomes a schedule crisis.
Risk Cascade Alerts
When a supplier triggers a risk event — delivery delay, quality failure, financial distress — POD immediately calculates the cascade impact across every connected project and notifies affected PMs.
Our sole-source rebar supplier went on strike. POD had flagged the 73% concentration 4 months earlier. We'd already qualified 2 alternates. Zero schedule impact.
