Case Study: HBM (Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik) achieves supply chain transparency and protects profitability with riskmethods Supply Risk Network

HBM - Customer Case Study

Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik (HBM) faced a lack of transparency across its global supply chain that threatened production continuity and profitability. To answer which suppliers pose what risks and how supplier failures would affect margins, HBM partnered with riskmethods and its cloud‑based Supply Risk Network SaaS to replace fragile Excel processes and create a single, organization‑wide view of supplier, site and country risk.

riskmethods implemented the Supply Risk Network (plus the Impact Validator and planned Action Planner) to monitor 120 global suppliers, locations and logistics hubs, aggregating data from sources like MunichRE, World Bank and 300,000+ online feeds to deliver daily, near‑real‑time risk signals, impact evaluation and incident action plans. The result: immediate transparency, an early‑warning system and prioritized action catalogs that minimize damage, protect production and support HBM’s profitability and competitive advantage.
