See your whole supply chain.
Before it surprises you.

Northbound is the supply-chain intelligence platform that helps manufacturers and operations teams see every supplier, part, and job on the floor in one place—so you can spot risk early, prioritize what matters, and keep your build on schedule.

What We Do

Your whole supply chain, in one view

A live dashboard—backed by hands-on advisory—that turns scattered supplier and BOM data into clear, prioritized insight you can act on.

  • Bring your own data — import your BOM from Epicor, JobBOSS, or a CSV.
  • Supplier risk scoring — every supplier scored by what is driving the risk.
  • Material Origin Map — where every part comes from, color-coded by risk.
  • Status tracking — catch expiring certs and documents before they lapse.
  • Schedule & cost signals — flags which lines are likely to slip.
