From Traceability to Resilience. Strengthen Every Link in Your Chain.
Today’s supply chains are smarter, faster, and more global than ever. But with complexity comes
vulnerability. Whether it’s a disrupted shipping route, ESG violations, or sudden regulatory changes,
risks in the supply chain are inevitable.
At AKW Consultants, we help companies build transparent, resilient, and regulator-ready supply chains.
We design systems that help you anticipate, mitigate, and recover
so your supply chain becomes a strategic asset, not a weak link.

Five Supply Chain Risks That Could Disrupt Your Business
01
Hidden Supplier Dependencies
Many firms only see Tier 1 suppliers. Without end-to-end visibility, you risk dependency on subcontractors or routes prone to sanctions, strikes, or political unrest.
02
Weak Due Diligence
Falling short of OECD-aligned due diligence exposes companies to reputational damage, ESG failures, and even legal sanctions.
03
Geopolitical & Trade Shocks
Sanctions, export bans, or sudden tariff changes can upend sourcing strategies overnight.
04
Cyber & Logistics System Attacks
A ransomware strike on logistics software or ERP systems can paralyse operations and compromise sensitive commercial data.
05
Scattered Supply Chain Data
Outdated or siloed systems block real-time visibility and slow down your ability to respond to risks.
