Collect supplier data once and use it to meet all your supply chain needs

The Supply Chain Hub is the supplier module in FramesCube: Create and contact suppliers, send customized questionnaires, collect data and supporting documentation, and analyze responses. With accurate data collection, you can fulfill due diligence requirements, track CO₂ emissions, manage packaging, address deforestation, and handle imports—all without having to implement a separate tool for each topic.

Why Supplier Data Management Takes So Much Time

Fragmented supplier data

Due diligence requirements, CO₂ data, and packaging information are usually requested separately—from largely the same suppliers. This takes time on both sides.

Manual Data Collection

Surveys are sent out via email, and responses are returned as attachments. The data is stored in a single person’s inbox, and follow-ups are handled manually by someone.

Lack of Documentation Management

Certificates and self-disclosures are scattered across drives—without an expiration date, version, or reference to the question they answer.

Data silos in departments

Procurement, Compliance, and Sustainability each maintain their own supplier lists. A unified view only emerges when someone manually consolidates them.

From a Supplier Master File to a Reliable Database in 5 Steps

A guided process from the initial list of suppliers to data that you can reuse across multiple modules.

Create and Organize Suppliers

Existing lists are imported from the ERP system via Excel upload or the web API. Suppliers can be segmented by country, product group, location, and company—the foundation for everything that follows.

Assessing and Prioritizing Supply Chain Risks

Country and industry indices provide a risk score for each supplier. This results in a prioritized list that you can use to target your efforts—rather than querying the entire database uniformly.

Contact suppliers and send out questionnaires

Templates or custom questionnaires are sent directly from the software to the appropriate contacts: in multiple languages, with included explanations, clear deadlines, and automatic reminders.

In partnership with Prewave: Identifying risks before they appear in the questionnaire

Questionnaires provide structured self-reported information. External risk signals fill in the gaps. That’s why we partner with Prewave—a leading platform for AI-powered supply chain risk intelligence that analyzes public sources worldwide and in many languages.

This combination results in a comprehensive approach: Prewave continuously monitors what is happening with your suppliers, while the Supply Chain Hub collects data and documentation directly from them.

CSDDD: Continuous Monitoring as a Supplement to Periodic Self-Reporting
EUDR as the first distributor: full due diligence obligations, including geolocation, risk assessment, and submission of the due diligence statement
Resilience: Early warning of disruptions, sanctions, and reputational risks across multiple stages of the supply chain

In practical terms, this means that downstream market participants who collect and store DDS reference numbers will find the Supply Chain Hub to be a valuable tool. First-market-placers, who bear the full burden of EUDR due diligence, can rely on Prewave to provide the necessary level of support—all from a single source.

Multiple orders,
the same suppliers.
Just ask.

What Sets the CONSUST Supply Chain Hub Apart from Other Supply Chain Solutions

Many solutions address only individual requirements. The CONSUST Supply Chain Hub creates a central database for supplier information and reduces the workload for both suppliers and internal teams.

Use Supplier Data Once for All Requirements

Collect data and documentation centrally from your suppliers and use it for LkSG, CSDDD, EUFLR, EUDR, CBAM, CCF, and PPWR. This will help you avoid duplicate requests and create a unified database.

End-to-End Process for Supplier Data Collection

From risk analysis to questionnaires and documentation, all the way to actions and deadlines, you manage every step within a centralized workflow. Pending tasks and responses remain transparent at all times.

Transparency and Control in the Supply Chain

Prioritize suppliers based on risk indices, document evidence in an audit-proof manner, and keep track of your suppliers’ status at all times. This will strengthen both compliance and resilience.
