A mid-sized industrial equipment manufacturer, is launching a new range of modular hydraulic components. This move is part of a strategic horizontal expansion aimed at capturing a broader market share by offering products aligned with those of leading competitors.
Story
To support the launch, the Sales Manager, uploads the entire new product line into the company’s ScopeMatch profile. Using the bulk upload functionality, the Sales Manager is able to quickly input detailed, custom specifications for each item. This significantly boosts the manufacturer’s visibility in the marketplace, increasing the chances of being discovered by potential buyers through the Search Request tool.
Meanwhile, existing platform users, who have previously listed this manufacturer as a supplier in any of their Product-Supply list, will receive an automated notification about the catalog update. This prompts them to revisit the supplier’s profile and potentially expand their sourcing from this manufacturer.
The Sales Manager can use the Search Request feature to identify promising new customers and markets – particularly in regions the company hasn’t yet explored but where demand indicators are strong. She compiles these prospects into a Product-Distribution list, then exports the list directly into Salesforce, leveraging the platform’s CRM integration to streamline lead tracking and engagement.
Finally, the team reviews the data using the Network Analysis tool and creates a visual distribution map to assess channel coverage, identify supply chain gaps, and anticipate logistical challenges. Armed with these insights, a sales and marketing strategy is developed to drive adoption of the new product line and ensure a successful expansion.
Key Outcome
With ScopeMatch, this manufacturer has transformed a product launch into a data-driven growth opportunity.
By streamlining catalog uploads, activating existing customer networks, and uncovering high-potential markets, the company boosted visibility, accelerated outreach, and built a targeted expansion strategy backed by real-time insights.
Background
A food packaging company is preparing to assess the resilience of its supply chain. This audit is part of a broader initiative to ensure continuity of operations and reduce exposure to supply disruptions.
Story
The Sustainability Director and the Procurement Director need to evaluate potential vulnerabilities in the supplier network.
The Procurement Director has been using ScopeMatch for several months and has organized the company’s supplier data into structured Product-Supply lists, each corresponding to a different product category -such as adhesives, films, and containers. The lists are regularly updated and provide a clean, accurate picture of their supplier landscape.
Using the Network Analysis tool within ScopeMatch, the company’s supplier network can be visualized with a few clicks. Using this feature the team pinpoint areas of high dependency – such as single-source suppliers and common second-tier sourcing – and evaluate the extent of route diversification across the supply chain.
A detailed report is generated highlighting key dependency nodes, alternate sourcing paths, and current risk exposure levels.
To further validate the company’s risk position, the team engage their ScopeMatch Account Manager to request a second-tier supply chain analysis. This advanced review helps them identify potential hidden risks in upstream supplier relationships and consider mitigation options such as dual-sourcing or regional diversification.
Key Outcome
With ScopeMatch, the food packaging company shifted from reactive audits to proactive supply chain resilience.
By visualizing dependencies and uncovering hidden upstream risks, the team reduced disruption exposure, supported sustainability goals, and built a more secure foundation for long-term operations.
Background
A Canadian regional distributor specializing in equipment and components for the oil & gas sector, had always prided itself on reliability. With operations tied closely to time-sensitive fieldwork, every shipment mattered. One failed delivery could disrupt upstream production schedules, damage key relationships, and jeopardize long-term contracts.
Without ScopeMatch: A Silent Supplier Exit, A Costly Fallout
Last year the Operations Director faced a crisis. A long-standing supplier of high-pressure couplings – a critical component used in wellhead systems – quietly went out of business. There was no announcement, no formal wind-down, and no early signals. The supplier simply stopped responding. The distributor only discovered the issue when it was too late. A major delivery was missed.
The client – an international drilling contractor – was forced to halt field operations.
The impact was immediate and costly. The distributor faced a six-figure penalty for breaching their service-level agreement, lost the trust of the client’s procurement team, and was ultimately removed from the preferred vendor list – bringing a five-year partnership to an abrupt end.
All of this because one vendor failed – and there was no safety net. That risk became a reality – until they implemented ScopeMatch, giving The distributor the visibility and early warning signals they needed to monitor supplier stability, diversify sourcing, and prevent future disruptions before they could impact critical operations.
Key Outcome with ScopeMatch: Risk Identified, Crisis Prevented
Today, The distributor uses ScopeMatch to stay ahead of supply chain risks. Their team maintains structured Product-Supply Lists, making it easy to spot critical dependencies. When the platform flagged a single point of failure, they acted fast to find certified alternatives and syncing them into their ERP system. When the next risk emerged, the distributor rerouted instantly. The order arrived on time – no delays, no penalties. With ScopeMatch, they shifted from reacting to preventing – protecting revenue, trust, and operational confidence.
