Supply Chain
Bloomberg terminals
Bloomberg offers a function for supply chain analysis, SPLC <GO> , that tracks a company's key customers, suppliers and competitors.
For example, to find Amazon's suppliers, search by the company ticker and function. You would type: AMZN <Equity> SPLC <Go>
View the relationship list in a chart or in tabular form.
Suppliers can be grouped by country to assess geographic concentration in the supply chain.
The supplier list can be filtered by industry subgroup or economic sectors.
