Supply chains are among the most complex and highly regulated in the world -- spanning raw material suppliers, manufacturers, contract partners, logistics providers, and global distributors. Ensuring transparency, resilience, and compliance across this web of relationships is critical, yet difficult to achieve with traditional data systems. Supply chain disruptions, quality issues, and counterfeit risks are often hard to detect when using siloed relational models and linear reporting.

*Supply chains* are among the most complex and regulated systems in the world. They span raw material suppliers, manufacturers, logistics providers, and distributors — all tightly interwoven and dependent on reliable, traceable flows.
14
+
Traditional systems often struggle to provide the visibility needed to manage disruptions, quality issues, or counterfeit risks. Linear reporting and siloed data make it difficult to trace product lineage or respond in real time.

With Neo4j, you can leverage a flexible, native graph databaseto map the full lifecycle of products -- from raw ingredients to finished pharmaceuticals reaching patients. By modeling these relationships as a connected graph, teams can trace product genealogy, optimize supply paths, identify potential bottlenecks or vulnerabilities, and strengthen overall resilience.
