interos.ai has announced the launch of iQ, its second-generation platform designed to bring supply chain risk intelligence directly into executive decision-making. Developed in response to ongoing global economic uncertainty, iQ expands the application of predictive analytics by enabling organizations to assess, quantify, and respond to risks across complex supplier networks.

The platform integrates enterprise resource planning (ERP) data with interos.ai’s Resilience platform to deliver a unified view of supply chain vulnerabilities. By combining internal enterprise data with external intelligence from its knowledge graph, iQ enables organizations to move beyond traditional sub-tier supplier monitoring and gain a broader understanding of financial and operational exposure.

A key feature of the platform is its ability to align ERP identifiers with supply chain intelligence, allowing companies to track supplier dependencies while quantifying financial impact. This includes visibility into potential dollar exposure and access to recommendations for alternative sourcing strategies in response to geopolitical shifts, tariff changes, and market volatility.

The platform also introduces workflow integration capabilities, allowing organizations to act on insights within existing systems. Users can identify priority suppliers and locations, assign responsibility, and initiate mitigation strategies without disrupting established processes. This functionality supports faster response times and improved coordination across teams.

As part of its initial rollout, iQ includes three core modules tailored to current economic conditions. The itariffs module provides visibility into existing and anticipated tariffs across supply chains while estimating financial impact based on procurement data. The itracing module delivers product-level visibility across multi-tier supplier networks, enabling organizations to align risk insights with bills of materials and develop targeted mitigation plans. The ireputation module monitors reputational risks, including corporate conduct, financial instability, and external influence factors that may affect supplier reliability.

Early users have highlighted the importance of real-time visibility in managing third-party risk. Enhanced access to supply chain intelligence allows organizations to remain agile and better anticipate potential disruptions.

interos.ai continues to position itself as a leader in supply chain risk intelligence through its AI-powered SaaS offerings. Its Resilience platform evaluates risk across multiple domains, including cybersecurity, environmental and social governance, geopolitical factors, and financial stability.

By incorporating these dimensions into a single framework, the company aims to support both immediate risk response and long-term strategic planning. With the introduction of iQ, interos.ai is advancing its mission to provide organizations with actionable insights that align operational risk management with financial decision-making at the highest levels.
