## The future belongs to those who manage risk

At Elm Analytics, we empower manufacturers to take control of risk by enabling direct, data-driven collaboration with their suppliers. Our supplyAware™ platform provides real-time financial monitoring, supply chain mapping, and crisis management tools—ensuring resilient, self-organizing supply chains that thrive despite environmental disasters, trade conflict, global health crises, geopolitical shifts, and other supply chain impact events.

In an era of rising trade tensions and supply chain uncertainty, manufacturers can no longer rely on governments or regulators to ensure stability.

Success will depend on trust, transparency, and cooperation within their own supply networks.
