Interos.ai Launches iQ to Turn Supply Chain Risk into C-Suite Dollars

WASHINGTON – April 28, 2026 – In an era defined by economic headwinds and geopolitical friction, supply chain intelligence firm interos.ai today announced the launch of iQ, its second-generation predictive analytics platform. The new offering aims to elevate supply chain risk from an operational concern to a C-level strategic priority by translating complex threats into a language every executive understands: financial exposure.

Designed for Fortune 1000 companies and government agencies, the iQ platform integrates directly with a company's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. By combining a client's internal spend and materials data with its own vast knowledge graph of supplier relationships, interos.ai asserts that iQ can quantify risk in precise dollar amounts, offering AI-driven suggestions for mitigation and alternative sourcing.

From Operational Alerts to Financial Strategy

The primary innovation of the iQ platform is its concerted effort to bridge the gap between the procurement office and the chief financial officer's suite. For years, supply chain risk management has focused on identifying potential disruptions—a factory fire, a shipping delay, a cybersecurity breach. While critical, these alerts often lack the financial context needed for board-level decision-making. iQ seeks to change that by calculating the direct monetary impact of such risks.

By orchestrating insights from ERP systems, the platform can analyze spend data, bill of materials, and supplier dependencies to model the financial fallout from events like tariffs, reputational damage, or catastrophic failures deep within the supply network. This transforms risk management from a reactive, defensive posture into a proactive, strategic financial exercise.

"iQ will surface the best suggestions and for the first time, allow for seamless integrated ERP workflow and end-to-end execution,” said Yardley Pohl, Chief Product and Technology Officer at interos.ai, in the company's announcement. “iQ helps prioritize the suppliers and locations that matter most, assign owners, and start mitigation in the tools they already use. By bringing your specific materiality into interos.ai, organizations can quantify exposure in dollars and communicate risk in the language CFOs use every day.”

This approach allows executives to weigh the cost of mitigation against the potential financial loss, enabling more sophisticated return-on-investment calculations for resilience-building initiatives.

Navigating a Crowded Field with AI

Interos.ai has positioned iQ as the “industry’s first fully productized predictive analytics platform,” a bold claim in a market that is increasingly saturated with AI-driven solutions. The supply chain risk management (SCRM) space is home to several established players, including Everstream Analytics and Resilinc, both of which have been recognized by industry analysts like Gartner for their advanced predictive capabilities and extensive risk monitoring networks. These platforms also leverage AI to forecast disruptions and help companies navigate supply chain volatility.

Where iQ aims to differentiate itself is in its specific, productized focus on financial quantification for the C-suite. While competitors offer robust predictive insights and risk scoring, iQ’s core value proposition is its ability to convert those risks into a clear financial narrative. This focus on dollar-value exposure, combined with its direct ERP integration for seamless workflow, is tailored to an executive audience that is ultimately accountable for the bottom line.

Instead of just flagging a high-risk supplier, iQ is designed to report that a specific supplier dependency represents a potential $50 million exposure due to geopolitical instability, empowering a CFO to act with quantifiable data in hand.

A Toolkit for Global Volatility

To deliver this new layer of intelligence, the initial release of iQ features three distinct modules, each designed to address a pressing challenge in today's global economic climate.

• iTariffs: This module maps current and anticipated trade tariffs across a company's entire multi-tier supply chain. By integrating with spend data, it quantifies the estimated dollar impact of these duties, allowing companies to anticipate cost increases and explore alternative sourcing strategies before tariffs erode margins.

• iTracing: Offering product-level supply chain visibility, this module can map a finished good back through its bill of materials across multiple supplier tiers. This deep-level transparency is crucial for creating targeted risk mitigation strategies, especially for complex products where a single component failure can halt production.

• iReputation: This module continuously surfaces reputational risks across the supply chain, monitoring for everything from adverse corporate behavior and negative financial news to foreign influence concerns. In an age where brand perception is paramount, this tool helps companies protect themselves from the downstream effects of a partner's misconduct.

These tools provide a practical framework for organizations to move from simply knowing about a risk to understanding its specific business impact and having a clear path toward resolution.

Building on a Foundation of Trust

iQ is not being launched into a vacuum. It builds upon the success of interos.ai's existing Resilience platform, which is already in use by major federal departments and Fortune 1000 market leaders. The company has a particularly strong foothold within the U.S. government, recently securing a five-year, $919 million contract with the General Services Administration (GSA) to make its platform available to all Department of Defense and civilian agencies.

This established trust with organizations handling highly complex and sensitive supply chains provides a powerful launchpad for iQ. The new platform is currently available in a limited release for select customers, a strategy that allows interos.ai to refine the product with key partners before a wider rollout. Early feedback suggests the demand for deeper visibility is strong.

"Working in the data center industry today requires a high level of agility," noted MaryAnn Hylton, who manages third-party risk management at Vantage Data Centers. "To be agile, we need to have visibility into potential third-party risks. interos.ai has provided us with additional insight into potential risk domains."

By leveraging its established reputation and deep integration capabilities, interos.ai is betting that iQ will become an indispensable tool for leaders seeking to build resilient enterprises capable of weathering the persistent storms of global uncertainty. The platform is now available for select customers, with more information and demos available through the company's website.
