Resilinc made a powerful impact at ISM World 2025—highlighting how AI-driven foresight and financial risk intelligence can transform reactive supply chains into strategic assets.
In Orlando, thought leaders, procurement professionals, and supply chain executives came together under the theme of building resilient, responsive supply networks. For Resilinc, the event was an opportunity to not only showcase our Agentic AI platform for supply chain risk and compliance but also lead an important conversation on the role of financial health and macroeconomic indicators in supply chain risk.
Executive Spotlight: Risk Signals You Can’t Afford to Miss
Resilinc CEO Kamal Ahluwalia joined James Gellert, Executive Chair of RapidRatings, on the main stage to address a critical issue: the silent erosion of financial health across global supply chains.
Their session, “Navigating a New Normal for Supply Chain Resilience,” highlighted alarming trends, including:
- Rising supplier concentration risk: Most companies work with either too few or too many suppliers. Both scenarios carry hidden dependencies, but overreliance on single or sole sourcing is increasingly a hidden challenge.
- Deterioration in private company performance: Financial health ratings (FHR) and core health scores (CHS) of private suppliers are dropping significantly faster than those of public companies.
- Rising concerns over cash conversion: U.S. private companies are facing increased days in inventory and receivables, adding to liquidity strain.
Tariffs & Trade: The Clock Is Ticking
One of the most urgent themes of the presentation was tariff risk escalation. This is especially relevant in light of proposed 2025 U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods and reciprocal actions from trading partners.
Resilinc and RapidRatings shared that:
- A 90-day “pause and raise” tariff scenario led to severe stress in key manufacturing sectors, including aerospace, electronics, and automotive.
- Financial Health Ratings dropped from Medium to High Risk for suppliers in just three months in a tariff simulation exercise.
- 42% of EBITDA may be at risk due to unmitigated disruption exposure.
The call to action was clear: Organizations must act now to pinpoint financial and sourcing vulnerabilities. With less than 90 days’ lead time in some cases, waiting until tariffs hit is too late.
On the Show Floor: Agentic AI Supply Chain Risk Management in Action
Resilinc showcased our Agentic AI platform, a proactive and autonomous system that takes supply chain risk management far beyond alerts:
- Real-time detection: Monitors over 100M sources to surface and contextualize disruption signals relevant to your parts, suppliers, and revenue.
- Automated impact assessment: Pinpoints affected suppliers and revenue exposure within minutes.
- Mitigation guidance and actions: Intelligent agents provide custom sourcing recommendations, scenario-based strategies and orchestrate compliance actions.
Attendees were impressed by the platform’s ability to simulate regulatory impact, including tariff scenarios and forced labor violations, and propose sourcing shifts before disruption strikes.
Why It Matters Now
With financial risk accelerating, compliance complexity growing, and tariff threats looming, traditional dashboards and fragmented tools no longer suffice.
Resilinc’s Agentic AI intelligence equips teams with:
- Early warning signals across multiple risk domains
- Tailored, AI-driven mitigation workflows
- Supplier risk and compliance scores linked to financial health and geopolitical exposure
