Supply chain solutions for your industry

Supply chain disruption impacts every sector

Supply chain disruption is no longer a question of if, but when. Increasingly, geopolitical pressures, supplier bottlenecks, concentration risks, climate events, cyber incidents, and other challenges pose significant threats to suppliers and operations across industries.

However, supply chain risks and impacts can look different depending on your unique risk profile and business needs — requiring a data-driven, tailored approach. 

Addressing industry-specific challenges with Sentrisk™

Marsh’s supply chain risk management platform, Sentrisk, enriches your organization’s supplier data, leveraging advanced technology and deep insurance experience and expertise to help you: 

  • Uncover hidden exposures: Multi-tier mapping can reveal sub-tier dependencies and concentration risks previously unknown with standard data.
  • Know where to focus: Proprietary risk scoring ranks suppliers, sites, components, and products by risk level, helping you prioritize your mitigation efforts.
  • Plan before disruption hits: Scenario modeling, including the Tariff Simulator, helps quantify potential impacts of disruptions, trade policy changes, and supplier failures so you can be better prepared for challenges specific to you.
  • Strengthen your insurance position: The Supplier+ report validates and enriches your supplier data, which can enhance your submissions to underwriters and help you secure better coverage for your most urgent risk priorities.

How it applies to your industry

selected option

55% of US manufacturers experienced unplanned downtime in 2025, resulting in as much as $207 million in lost capital weekly.

In the automotive and manufacturing industries — where complex, multi-tiered supply chains and high demand for production leave little margin for error — supply chain visibility and comprehensive mapping are essential.

Your challenges

You may:
  • Already have supply chain visibility and mapping, but want to validate your data
  • Need support ranking and prioritizing your most urgent risks
  • Be unable to secure sufficient contingent business interruption (CBI) coverage 
  • Need a better way to triage risk across your enterprise

Sentrisk for automotive and manufacturing

  • Gain a holistic approach to risk triage by integrating multi-tier supplier data, risk scoring, and scenario analysis to prioritize and address risks across your entire supply chain ecosystem
  • Validate and enrich supply chain data to bolster accuracy and support better risk prioritization and mitigation efforts
  • Enable proactive disruption planning through scenario modeling and real-time monitoring, minimizing unplanned downtime and production losses
  • Enhance CBI insurance coverage by providing detailed, up-to-date supplier insights from the Supplier+ report for stronger underwriting submissions.

~60% of the pharmaceutical industry outsource production of their products, complicating supply chain control.

In the life sciences industry — a highly regulated sector defined by complex, multi-tiered supply chains that demand efficiency and reliability — extensive outsourcing amplifies supply chain risks. Precision is paramount, yet reduced direct oversight of manufacturing processes and supplier networks complicates quality control, traceability, and regulatory compliance.

Some of your main challenges may include:

  • Not enough detailed, real-time supplier data to provide underwriters
  • Risk teams siloed from supply chain functions
  • Insufficient existing supply chain risk management 
  • Inadequate insurance coverage, particularly CBI

Sentrisk for life sciences

  • Access detailed, real-time supplier data to improve underwriter submissions and strengthen insurance coverage, especially for contingent business interruption (CBI).
  • Enhance supply chain risk management with scenario modeling and network analysis to identify bottlenecks and develop targeted mitigation strategies.
  • Break down silos by integrating risk and supply chain teams through comprehensive multi-tier mapping and risk scoring for better collaboration and visibility.
