Key Differentiation: TraceGains Gather® vs. Enterprise
How you use HSG will vary based on whether you are a TraceGains Gather® or Enterprise user.
- TraceGains Gather® Users: You will use manual matching and monitoring through alerts and watchlists to stay informed of critical issues. This approach requires you to manage the data flow directly.
- Enterprise Users: You will have an automated system with a matching tool that aligns incidents with your supply chain data. In addition to watchlists and alerts, you will also have access to notifications, User Defined Dashboards (UDDs), and a dashboard widget for centralized risk management insights.
Both platforms enables you to monitor your supply chain, but Enterprise provides additional automation and data integration to support more efficient risk management.
