NodeVault was built from frustration with the gap between how supply chains are managed and how they are communicated to leadership.
Every week, supply chain teams spend hours building PowerPoint slides to communicate risk to leadership. They pull data from ERPs into spreadsheets, manually plot suppliers on static maps, and hand-draw process flows that are outdated before they are presented.
The tools that exist are either too complex for most teams — SAP Ariba, LLamasoft, Resilinc — or too simple to be useful: spreadsheets and Miro boards. NodeVault sits in between: fast enough to use in a client meeting, serious enough to leave behind as a deliverable.
NodeVault gives consultants, supply chain managers, and logistics teams three things they could not get in one place before:
NodeVault is used by independent supply chain consultants running client engagements, boutique consulting firms who need a shared platform for their team, graduate supply chain programs building real-world curriculum, and logistics and operations teams inside mid-size manufacturers and 3PLs.
If you have ever spent a week building a supply chain risk presentation that took your client ten minutes to read, NodeVault is for you.
Risk scores are generated by Claude (Anthropic) with web search — updated every morning using current geopolitical events, trade disruptions, sanctions, and conflict data. This means your maps reflect what is happening right now, not what was true six months ago when someone last updated a spreadsheet.
Maritime routes use real sea routing data — the Singapore → Rotterdam lane goes through Malacca and Suez, not across land. When the Red Sea is disrupted, that shows up in risk scores automatically.
