Your Verified and Suggested Network
We've improved how your supply chain network is organized in Altana. Until now, your network appeared as a single predicted view — our best estimate of who connects to whom. It's now split into two clearly labeled layers: your Verified network and your Suggested network.
The two layers
- Verified network — the part of your supply chain you've confirmed: the suppliers you work with and the relationships you've provided or validated. This is your ground truth.
- Suggested network — the connections Altana predicts beyond what you've confirmed, including deeper, upstream tiers, so you can see risk further up your chain even where you haven't mapped it yourself.
Why it helps you
- Clarity — see at a glance what's verified versus what's predicted, so you know how much weight to place on each.
- Prioritization — focus first on the suppliers you know and work with, then investigate the suggested connections behind them.
- Collaboration — reach out to suppliers in your Verified network directly to confirm details, request information, and remediate.
What stays the same
Your exposures, risk lists, transaction details, and the way you review and remediate are all unchanged. This adds clarity to the same view — nothing has been taken away.
It gets better over time
As you verify more of your supply chain, more of your Suggested network becomes Verified — so the picture gets sharper and more trusted, shaped by your input.
