How purchasing works with it
From a requirement to a supplier picture that cites its sources.
Four steps purchasing takes anyway. The difference is that at the end every judgement says where it came from.
Set the supplier list
Import the suppliers you have, or find new ones by industry, size, region and depth of manufacturing.
Record your dependency
You set how much each supplier matters and where your own plants are. Every signal is weighed against that.
Let the signals be classified
Every event gets a category, type and priority, weighted from the supplier's side and filed with its source.
Reach the people who act
Rules decide what is worth a mention. The rest arrives as a daily summary or inside the system you already use.
What you see
Six things a news feed cannot do.
A headline tells you something was published. A signal tells you what happened, who it affects, how sure we are, and whether it concerns you.
Supplier search
Semantic search across seven million companies, with new countries added all the time. You describe what you need instead of clicking through industry codes.
Company profile
Financials, ownership, sites and how the last few years went. The picture that belongs in front of a request for quotation.
Second source
Companies that look like a supplier you already use. The shortest route from a single-source position to a real alternative.
Contacts
Purchasing, sales and management with verified addresses and phone numbers. Credits are only spent on data we actually find.
Signals
82 event types from fire and strike to insolvency and site closure, each with its source, its trust tier and the reasoning behind its priority.
Traceability
Every judgement can be followed back to its source and every correction is kept as a revision. GDPR and EU AI Act compliant, from Frankfurt am Main.
What this changes for purchasing.
The reason to call a supplier, or to look for a second source for a part, is usually something that happened last week and was reported once.
Today
- The reason to call was in a report that ran once, the week before last
- The supplier assessment lives in a spreadsheet, last updated for the audit
- Second sources get looked for once the first one has already failed
- Everyone reads the same news and rates it differently
- When it is checked, there is no trail of who decided what, and when

- A supplier's picture updates with every piece of evidence, around the clock
- Alternatives are ready before you need them
- One classification with one reason behind it, the same for the whole team
- Source, trust tier and revision sit with every signal
Same signals, different question
Not only for purchasing.
An event belongs to no department. The same insolvency that tears a hole in purchasing is an opening for sales and a lead for recruiting. RUBINLAKE keeps two views on the one signal stream for exactly that.
Purchasing
Your second source files for insolvency. You need a replacement before the first one goes, and you already know which parts hang off it.
Sales
That same insolvency means every customer of that supplier is looking for an alternative right now, and you have the list before your competitors.

A site closure in the same stream means specialists with exactly the profile you have been hunting for months are about to be free.
