APL Logistics, and the risk management consultancy Control Risks, are offering a new online and consulting service, aimed at international firms with a supply chain. By providing companies with understanding of the risk landscape, businesses will be better able to make informed decisions and respond to issue, the firms say.
APL Logistics offers services to the automotive, consumer, industrial and retail sectors. The new service offers a map-based, holistic view of an organisation’s supply chain risk exposure. It provides a visualisation of the company’s asset information against major supply chain milestonesm to provide the firms say aggregated inventory details alongside potential supply chain disruptors, ranging from industrial disputes through to civil unrest, terrorist incidents and crime. This real time view of their supply chain, along with intelligence on potential disruptors, will enable their customers to manage their supply chain risk vulnerabilities, they add.
William Villalon, Acting President, APL Logistics, said: ‘By combining our in-depth logistics expertise with Control Risks’ risk management experience, we are offering a compelling supply chain risk management solution to global businesses that operates with real-time analysis and insights. We are confident that customers can use it to make better informed decisions and, ultimately, to significantly enhance their ability to monitor and act on risks that could disrupt their supply chain.’
And Richard Fenning, Control Risks CEO added: ‘A consequence of today’s inter-connected globalised market place is that many businesses are operating with global supply chains. As such, they are exposed to myriad risks which, if unforeseen, can cause major disruption to their business operations. Our collaboration with APL Logistics will enable businesses to anticipate, plan and respond to potential issues, and by doing so avoid details, discontinuity and additional costs.’
