VendorWatch is an AI agent that monitors your supplier base — OTIF performance, news signals, regulatory events, macro disruptions — and delivers a finished brief to your inbox every Sunday night.
Most AU mid-market retailers find out about supplier issues through stockouts, complaints, or urgent calls — not proactive intelligence.
Your OTIF numbers exist — but translating them into ranked supplier risk every week requires analyst time most teams don't have.
A key supplier's CFO departed Friday. There was a TGA recall Saturday. You find out when a category manager reads about it over coffee.
Port congestion, AUD/CNY moves, freight index shifts — they all affect your cost base, but they're scattered across different sources.
Enterprise tools cost $50K+/year and assume a team of dedicated analysts. Mid-market retailers don't have either — so they go without.
VendorWatch is an agentic AI system — four specialised sub-agents run in sequence, coordinated by an orchestrator, with no human in the loop.
Ingests your weekly OTIF CSV, normalises the data, computes 4-week deltas, and ranks suppliers by risk score.
For each risk supplier, scans the last 7 days for news, regulatory filings, recalls, executive departures, and financial signals. Vertical-aware.
Monitors AU port congestion, freight index, AUD currency moves, and regulatory agency announcements relevant to your supply chain.
Synthesises everything into a structured HTML email — TL;DR, OTIF table, material signals, macro context, and suggested actions.
A structured, actionable brief — not a raw data dump. Built for supply chain leaders who need to act, not analyse.

Handing over your supplier list is a big ask. Here's exactly how it's handled.
Supplier news and regulatory scanning uses only publicly available information — news, ASIC/ACCC/FSANZ/TGA filings, recalls. The same sources a Bloomberg Terminal or analyst uses.
Your supplier list and OTIF data are stored in tables scoped to you alone — never pooled, benchmarked, or shared across customers, even for "industry insights".
Mutual NDA at signup, plus a Data Processing Addendum covering Australian Privacy Principles compliance, breach notification, and deletion timelines.
Leave whenever you like — full data purge within 14 days, free CSV export of everything we hold on request, no questions asked.
The practical stuff, before you start your beta.

No credit card. No sales call required. Just a real brief for your real suppliers.
VendorWatch was built by someone who's lived the problem — running supplier performance reviews manually, finding out about issues late, and wishing there was a tool that just handled the weekly intelligence work automatically. This is that tool, built for the AU market with AU regulatory agencies, AU spelling, and AU supply chain context baked in.
