EBV Elektronik launches new platform to bring transparency to electronics supply chains
EBV Elektronik has announced its new Essential Business Visibility platform (EBV360), a new supply chain intelligence platform that delivers a clear, consolidated, and real-time view of component availability. Designed for the challenges of today’s markets, the platform enables faster, more informed decision-making across increasingly complex global production environments.
For engineers and procurement teams, increasing pressure from volatile supply conditions, growing product complexity, and globally distributed production models present challenges that threaten market success. However, the critical supply chain data that could support informed decision-making often remains fragmented across suppliers, manufacturing partners, and internal systems.
In recent years, disruptions across the semiconductor industry have highlighted how limited visibility can lead to delays, inefficiencies, and costly production interruptions. The EBV360 platform meets these challenges head on by providing a single, reliable source of truth across the entire supply chain, helping teams understand where their components are, when they will arrive, and where risks are emerging.
Essential Business Visibility is a purpose-built platform that consolidates backlog, stock levels, delivery schedules, and long-term forecasts into one unified dashboard. By integrating data from suppliers, EMS partners, and EBV Elektronik, it provides a complete and consistent overview of component availability.
This enables engineers and procurement teams to detect potential shortages early, track incoming deliveries with precision, and monitor supply developments over time, with forecast visibility of up to 18 months. As a result, companies can move from reactive responses to proactive planning, improving operational stability and reducing the risk of disruption.
Unlike more generalised tools on the market, the EBV360 platform has been developed in close collaboration with customers operating highly complex, EMS-driven supply chains. The platform reflects real-world workflows and data structures, ensuring that the information presented is both relevant and actionable. With an intuitive interface, users can access critical supply chain insights within a few clicks, significantly reducing manual effort and enabling more efficient production planning.
“Over the past few years, it became very clear that our customers were struggling to understand where their components were and where bottlenecks might occur,” said Thorsten Eyle, EBV Elektronik. “The EBV360 platform was developed in response to that challenge and in close collaboration with our customers. By bringing all relevant supply chain information into one place, we enable them to plan with confidence, identify risks earlier, and maintain control even in highly complex environments.”
Accessing EBV360
To access the platform, teams are invited to contact their EBV Elektronik account managers. The onboarding process includes a live demonstration, data preparation, and secure integration of relevant supply chain data. The platform will be offered in multiple versions – Basic, Extended, and Full – allowing customers to select the level of functionality that best matches their operational requirements. Looking ahead, EBV Elektronik is already planning the evolution of the platform, with future capabilities extending visibility to PCB-level risk analysis.
