FM Scanner continuously checks your chemical portfolio for Force Majeure, precursor-chain, and regulatory risk — quantifying spend at risk in euros and tracing every event back to the materials it affects.
Qualitative headlines turned into quantified, ranked, portfolio-specific action.
The KPI band converts qualitative news into a single quantified exposure figure across your portfolio.
Feedstock shocks are flagged in your affected materials, not just where the news happens.
One rescan replaces manual news reviews across dozens of materials.
The FM Assistant returns ranked recommendations and next steps, not more articles.
Upload your FM tracker reports and the scanner uses them as ground truth.
Point it at your purchased materials and it checks each one against procurement-relevant sources — with AI you can question at every level.
One-click Rescan against all sources, with a live KPI band — scanned, at-risk, spend at risk, and errors — plus CSV / XLSX export.
Feedstock disruptions, unusual price behaviour, and regulatory events — anti-dumping, sanctions, trade-defense, inspections.
Every material is linked to its precursor chain, so when Formaldehyde tightens, Dipentaerythrit is flagged before its own price moves. Confidence-scored, with a Precursor Map view.
Per material: disruption risk, key trigger events, producers and locations at risk, feedstock exposure, price trend, and procurement flags.
Ask per material or across the whole portfolio. The FM Assistant returns ranked risks, a Portfolio Risk chart, and the Top 3 immediate actions.
Upload proprietary FM tracker and category documents as ground truth. PINPOOLS parses them and enriches the scan with your context.
FM Scanner sits as a tab inside your portfolio view, alongside General, Items, Spend Mapping, Dashboard, and Benchmark KPI.
Open the FM Scanner tab and hit Rescan. Every listed material is checked against the loaded intelligence, producing the KPI band and per-material rows.
See how many materials are scanned and how many carry precursor risk — and the number that matters, total spend at risk in euros. Sort by spend and scan the Event Type column for feedstock, price, or regulatory signals.
Open any material for the full Material Intelligence report — trigger events, producers at risk, procurement flags — walk the value chain, and ask the per-material AI Chat.
Risk level Medium-High. Key triggers: formaldehyde/methanol shortage, China environmental inspections, high-purity grade qualification constraints. Producers at risk: Perstorp, Ercros, Hubei Yihua.
Ask AI across the whole portfolio. The FM Assistant returns ranked risks, a Portfolio Risk chart, and the Top 3 immediate actions — ready to take or hand to your category team.
“During Iran conflict PINPOOLS helped a lot by scanning a spend list of 1,600 items. The results were accessible by our category managers in order to validate and act in sourcing.”
Market News surfaces relevant articles as they appear. FM Scanner evaluates your specific portfolio, quantifies spend at risk in euros for each finding, and traces every event back to affected materials via the precursor chain — so upstream shocks reach you before the headlines do.
An indirect risk. Your material may not have a Force Majeure itself, but one of its feedstocks does — meaning supply or price is likely to move. The Scanner traces this automatically and flags the affected material in your portfolio.
An estimated impact percentage per material, based on the underlying event and your value-chain exposure. Combined with your total spend, it produces the Spend at Risk figure in the KPI band.
Yes — via Manage Intelligence. The parser reads your reports and uses them as ground truth in future scans. You can also Rescan with custom context on any single material.
Yes — CSV and XLSX export from the toolbar. Suitable for CPO dashboards, category reports, and audit trails.
