Modern supply chains don’t stop at Tier 1, and neither should your visibility. Yet despite growing investments and urgency, most organizations remain exposed to risks buried deep within their extended supplier networks. 

This report captures the current state of N-Tier transparency: the barriers organizations are up against, the fragmented approaches putting resilience at risk, and the strategic shifts driving change. From manual assessments and data silos to the rise of technology-first solutions, the findings reveal a critical gap between visibility and actionable intelligence. 

Inside this exclusive report: 

  • Why over 50% of leaders report poor data quality beyond Tier 2 
  • What’s driving the move away from manual assessments, and what’s replacing them 
  • How organizations are budgeting for transparency tech in 2025 
  • The nine critical categories of supply chain risk; and where your blind spots may be 

Discover how your peers are addressing N-Tier transparency and download the report to assess your own visibility gaps to start building a more transparent, resilient, and risk-aware supply chain.
