What information do I need to provide in response to a request for supply chain data?

You'll need to provide high-level details in the one-page Supply Chain Mapper form: the product name/ID requested by your customer, your production location(s), the main components of that product, and location and contact information of the organisations that supply these components.

The request aims for simplicity. Use product part names that your own suppliers will recognise (e.g., from purchase orders) to ensure your suppliers know exactly what product they should complete their own Supply Chain Mapper for. In the supplier country and address fields, provide the country and address your supplier provides you this product from.

To complete the Supply Chain Mapper request:

1. Sign in or register on the NQC platform.
2. If you use the link in the email, you'll be directed straight into the Supply Chain Mapper page.
3. Otherwise, select 'Enter invitation code' on the top right side of your Dashboard.
4. Choose the option to 'Enter invitation code'.
5. Enter the invitation code included in the email request from your customer.
6. Fill in the information request about the specified product and upload information about the components and suppliers using the template provided.
7. Select 'Start' at the bottom to cascade the request to your direct suppliers listed in the form.
