Challenges

Six supply-side risks every manufacturer manages

01

Supply Disruptions Halt Production Lines

Single-source raw material supply is a production risk that most manufacturers accept by default. When a primary supplier fails — through sanctions, financial collapse or operational disruption — no verified alternative is ready to activate.

02

New Supplier Onboarding Takes 4–8 Weeks

Each new raw material supplier must pass procurement qualification, legal due diligence, compliance screening and technical approval before the first purchase order can be raised. This process creates a significant lag between market need and supply activation.

03

Input Cost Overruns After Contract Signing

Freight costs and customs duties are typically unknown at the point of supplier negotiation. By the time a freight forwarder quotes, the supply agreement is already signed and margins are fixed — leaving manufacturers absorbing unpredicted cost.

04

Sanctions Risk in Global Supply Chains

Manufacturing supply chains span multiple jurisdictions, commodity categories and ownership structures. A supplier that was compliant 12 months ago may now sit within a sanctioned ownership group — with liability falling on the manufacturer that failed to re-screen.

05

Advance Payment Risk on New Supplier Relationships

Production input orders typically require 30–40% advance payment to new suppliers before material is dispatched. Without escrow, this creates direct financial exposure to supplier default, delivery failure or quality shortfall.

06

Procurement and Legal Teams Work in Parallel, Not Together

Procurement identifies suppliers, legal reviews contracts and compliance screens counterparties — sequentially, on separate timelines. The handoff between teams creates delays and information loss that slows supplier activation.

STELLARI Contracts

Supply and manufacturing agreements ready same day

Generate Supply Agreements and Manufacturing Service Agreements with AI-drafted quality specification clauses, delivery penalties and payment milestone structures. Risk flags identify weak force majeure and missing rejection rights before signature.

STELLARI Logistics

Know total landed cost before the purchase order is placed

Calculate freight costs across all modes at the supplier selection stage — before the supply agreement is signed. Confirm total input cost including freight and duties as part of the supplier selection decision, not as a post-contract surprise.

STELLARI Bank

Advance payment protected until material ships

Lock advance payments in deal escrow at purchase order. Funds release only when Bill of Lading is presented or delivery milestone is confirmed. Eliminate advance payment exposure without asking suppliers to accept worse payment terms.

Workflow

A complete raw material sourcing cycle, end to end

Real deal example: An automotive parts manufacturer in Poland needs to qualify a backup aluminium supplier in Turkey after primary supply disruption.
01

Identify and shortlist backup aluminium suppliers in Turkey

Trade

Filter by commodity "non-ferrous metals / aluminium," country "Turkey," certification "ISO 9001." 6 verified suppliers returned within capacity range. Three shortlisted for due diligence based on trade volume and existing MENA export history.

02

Run compliance screening on all three candidates

Verify

Three Verify reports completed in 3 minutes. Supplier A: Trust Score 91, CLEAR across all checks — approved. Supplier B: Trust Score 76, beneficial ownership flag — conditional approval with additional KYC. Supplier C: AML risk indicator — declined.

03

Calculate total input cost including freight before signing

Logistics

Sea freight Istanbul → Gdańsk: $2,800 / 20ft container, 8 days transit. Road freight alternative: $3,400, 4 days. Road selected for production schedule urgency. Total landed cost per metric ton confirmed and included in procurement authorisation.

04

Generate supply agreement with quality and delivery penalties

Contracts

Supply Agreement generated: Incoterms DAP Gdańsk, 30-day delivery window, 35% advance / 65% on BL. AI flags missing material rejection clause and insufficient delivery penalty — both remedied with one-click AI suggestions. Signed in 24 hours.

05

Advance payment in escrow, released on shipment confirmation

Bank

Advance payment locked in USDT escrow at purchase order. Released to supplier on Bill of Lading presentation. Second tranche released on quality inspection confirmation at Gdańsk. Zero advance payment exposure. Production line maintained.
