Bloomberg
Bloomberg’s Supply Chain Analysis function (SPLC) is designed to provide a “comprehensive supply chain breakdown for a company”, allowing users to analyse revenue exposure for a central company against its suppliers, its customers and its peers.
Default analysis is on sales but other options exist. Click on the orange dropdown menu box to toggle between variables. Relationships can be displayed in chart form (default – see above) or as a table which is easily downloadable.
Another interesting option for researching logistics and freight is the Bloomberg Industries function (BI) which includes individual dashboards for Express & Courier, Marine Shipping, Rail and Trucking.
Anything else I should know?
Bloomberg is only available in the Bloomberg suite in the SOM Library. If you don’t yet have a Bloomberg account and you would like to find out more, click here for a quick intro.
