ZRG Mineral is a B2B sourcing intelligence platform for critical industrial minerals. It combines risk terminal, coverage map, predictive early warnings and compliance validation with ZRG certificate — for European procurement teams.

How is ZRG different from classic compliance tools?

Classic tools check backwards whether suppliers are ESG-compliant. ZRG Mineral warns forward 6–8 weeks before supply bottlenecks or price increases — with predictive alerts, live risk scores and coverage map.

Which materials does ZRG Mineral cover?

Gallium, rare earths, graphite, copper, lithium, NdFeB magnets and more critical industrial minerals in the material library — with CRMA-compliant field extraction.

Is ZRG Mineral LkSG and CRMA ready?

ZRG supports supply chain due diligence with documented audit trail, ZRG validation certificate (PDF) and compliance scores — designed for LkSG and EU CRMA requirements.

Is there a free way to get started?

Yes — free 30-day pilot on request with personal onboarding. Enterprise licences individually by B2B quote.

Methodology · Watcher

Watcher — supply chain picture

Watcher makes procurement risk spatial and relational: portfolio suppliers, tier-2 upstream, ports, vessels, sanctions and market signals in one graph — mirrored on the map with freight routes. Portfolio upload is the entry point; without upload a gallium demo picture runs.

Graph

Map

Two views · one pictureSame data — relational & spatial

Step 1

Graph from portfolio & reference data

After CSV/XLSX import, nodes are created for countries, suppliers, materials and BOM outputs. Coverage gaps appear as ghost nodes — edges show exposure paths, updated live when the portfolio changes.

Step 2

Automatic data fusion

Port index, trade flows, sanctions lists, market signals and reference supply chain are fused in — with provenance per node and edge.

Step 3

Map picture

The same chain on OpenStreetMap: tier-2 → export port → vessel → destination port → supplier → production. Routes green/yellow/red, pulse only on congestion, sanctions or detected patterns.

Step 4

Pattern detection

Concentration, geo clusters, port congestion and predictive windows — highlighted in the graph and on affected map routes.

Step 5

Tier-2/3 supply chain

Reference mines, refineries, ports and HS-code trade flows extend your portfolio network — upstream dependencies become visible without cluttering the layout.

Step 6

Temporal graph · 13 weeks

Weekly snapshots show when alerts and score changes first appeared in the chain.

Step 7

Saved view

Save selection, patterns, timeline offset and map view as a bookmark — share the state via link.

Step 8

SSE live stream

Graph and map receive patches via server-sent events — new signals without reload.

Demo vs live data

Without a portfolio upload the terminal shows a demo graph for gallium with simulated fusion signals. With an imported portfolio, nodes, patterns, gaps and tier chain are computed from your supplier data — same logic as in the Risk Terminal.

The Intelligence Graph is decision support based on market and portfolio data. Tier-2/3 reference nodes use seed data and CRMA reference catalogues — additional due diligence remains required.
