Risk & Compliance · 🔗 Supply Chain Risk Manager

Un fornitore critico ha appena pubblicato un segnale di difficoltà. La sua linea di produzione non lo sa ancora.

Between a SHAB distress publication and actual supply chain disruption, there is a window — typically 2–3 weeks — where you can still act. Qualify a backup supplier, pre-order buffer stock, alert procurement, renegotiate terms. A supply chain risk manager who sees the signal on day one can prevent the disruption entirely. One who sees it on day 30 is managing a crisis that was already in motion.

The timing advantage

Be the first to know. Be the first to call.

Supply chain disruption is not an event — it's a process that begins weeks before the impact hits your operations. The SHAB is a real-time feed of that process. A distress filing, a leadership change at a key supplier, a relocation or winding-up notice — each of these is a signal that something is changing in your supply base. The companies that catch these signals at publication, not at disruption, are the ones that stay in production.

1
Distress filings give you a 2–3 week qualification window
When a Swiss supplier files a distress notice, they are legally required to publish it in the SHAB. That moment — not 30 days later when proceedings are underway — is when you have time to act. Qualifying an alternative supplier takes 2–4 weeks on a good day. Catching the signal at publication means you have that window. Catching it at disruption means you don't.
2
Leadership changes at suppliers predict instability before it shows up in delivery
Un nuovo CEO o CFO presso un fornitore di livello 1 o 2 spesso precede un periodo di incertezza operativa — rinegoziazioni contrattuali, cambiamenti nel personale, interruzioni dei processi. Il SHAB cattura queste nomine il giorno della loro registrazione. Questo vantaggio temporale le permette di avviare una conversazione con il fornitore o di pre-qualificare alternative prima che l'instabilità si manifesti nei suoi tempi di consegna.
3
Liquidation and relocation events signal permanent supply base changes
A supplier entering liquidation is not a temporary disruption — it's a permanent removal from your supply base. Relocations can mean production transfers, regulatory recertification, or delivery capability gaps. Both signal types appear in the SHAB before they appear in your supplier's communications. Acting at publication gives you weeks of runway that reacting to the supplier's announcement does not.
Your signals

Which SHAB events matter for Supply Chain Risk Manager

Four SHAB event types create direct supply chain risk exposure. Each one signals a supplier-side change before the operational impact reaches your production line.

⚠️ Distress Signal
HIGH SIGNAL
Una pubblicazione SHAB relativa a difficoltà finanziarie significa che un fornitore ha superato una soglia legale — sovraindebitamento o perdita di capitale — che richiede la divulgazione pubblica. Non si tratta di una voce o di una notizia: è un'iscrizione legale. Per i responsabili del rischio nella supply chain, questo è il segnale per valutare immediatamente l'esposizione, avviare la qualificazione di fornitori alternativi e allertare il procurement. La finestra per agire in modo proattivo si misura in settimane a partire da questa iscrizione.
👤 Leadership Change
HIGH SIGNAL
Un nuovo CEO, CFO o direttore generale presso un fornitore — soprattutto uno senza precedenti rapporti con il suo team di approvvigionamento — introduce un periodo di incertezza commerciale e operativa. Priorità, accordi sui prezzi e impegni di consegna possono cambiare rapidamente sotto una nuova leadership. Cogliere la nomina al momento della registrazione le permette di contattare il leader entrante prima che il rapporto sia ancora indefinito.
📦 Relocation
HIGH SIGNAL
A supplier relocation can mean a production facility move, a change in logistics infrastructure, or a pivot in the business model. For regulated industries, relocation may invalidate certifications that underpin your supplier qualification. The SHAB captures registered address changes the day they are filed — well before your supplier updates their commercial documentation or notifies you directly.
🔴 Liquidation
HIGH SIGNAL
A supplier entering liquidation is a permanent supply base event — not a temporary disruption. The SHAB publication marks the moment proceedings begin. Acting on this the same day means you can initiate emergency sourcing, communicate to internal stakeholders, and begin the qualification process before your inventory buffer is exhausted. Waiting until the supplier fails to deliver the next order leaves you in reactive mode with no lead time.
Real scenario
Distress filing — Nexus Components GmbH in Basel — Day 1 vs Day 30

A supplier distress notice hits the SHAB. Two supply chain risk managers are responsible for that component. One acts the same morning. The other finds out when the next delivery doesn't arrive.

8:04 AM
The SHAB publishes. Distress Signal for Nexus Components GmbH in Basel. Capital loss disclosure, two directors listed, no prior insolvency proceedings.
8:15 AM
Your Founders & Movers brief lands. Supply Chain Risk Manager score: 94. AI angle attached: "Tier 1 supplier risk profile — capital loss filing, operational stress indicators. Qualification window: 2–3 weeks before delivery impact likely."
9:30 — Giorno 1
You receive the alert the morning the SHAB publishes. You have days to qualify a backup supplier, pre-order buffer stock, or alert procurement — before the supply chain impact hits.
Day 30 — If you wait
The supplier is in insolvency proceedings. Lead times are 8 weeks to qualify an alternative. You're in reactive mode, not proactive mode.
Why the window closes

Day 1 vs Day 30 — the difference is the deal

Day 1
Day 1 — You act today
  • You have 2–3 weeks to qualify a backup supplier before delivery commitments are at risk. That window is still open — but it closes quickly once proceedings begin.
  • Buffer stock can be pre-ordered before the market learns about the distress. Spot pricing and availability are still normal. Panic buying hasn't started.
  • Procurement can be alerted and alternative sourcing initiated on a planned timeline — not a crisis schedule. The difference in cost and quality is significant.
  • You can contact the supplier directly, understand their operational status, and make an informed decision about whether the relationship can continue through a restructuring.
Day 30
Day 30 — You find out at delivery
  • The supplier has entered formal insolvency proceedings. Orders placed but not yet shipped are now creditor claims. Your production schedule is already affected.
  • Alternative supplier qualification takes 4–8 weeks minimum. You have zero lead time and full production pressure. Emergency sourcing costs 20–40% more.
  • Your inventory buffer — sized for normal operations — is now the only protection between you and a line stoppage. That buffer was not sized for this scenario.
  • Every other buyer in the same supply chain is scrambling for the same alternatives simultaneously. Capacity at backup suppliers is constrained and expensive.
Reach out with reason

Not "I help companies like yours." A specific reason to call.

SHAB events give you a real, specific, verifiable reason to reach out to alternative suppliers, internal stakeholders, or external partners. That changes the conversation from a routine supplier review to a time-sensitive action with a clear trigger — one you can point to, document, and act on immediately.
