The short comparison
Investigate the rare-earth chain.
A curated dataset of companies, facilities, output and disclosed relationships, with evidence, comparisons, saved investigations and assumption-based scenarios.
Published offering
FactSet's published research uses its Supply Chain Relationships database to analyse company networks and portfolio characteristics. Its supply-chain documentation describes supplier, customer and other business relationships. Company-network analysis and facility-level material research use different units of analysis.
Provider source ↗Does a company relationship identify the material route?
A company network can reveal commercial exposure relevant to an investor. A physical rare-earth route needs more detail: which site, which product and which production stage connect the parties? A customer relationship can be strategically important without disclosing the receiving factory or annual material allocation.
That distinction becomes important when someone converts a company link into a supply-loss estimate. A network edge may justify investigation, but it does not automatically support tonnage attribution. Ask both tools to show the evidence needed for the specific conclusion, rather than assuming that every graph encodes the same meaning.
How the work differs
Use Oreline to inspect facilities and production records alongside disclosed commercial relationships. Company-level agreements remain useful even when no receiving site is known. Scenarios should preserve the difference between documented linkage and quantified flow, with unknown allocations left explicit.
Sources, reporting periods and evidence gaps remain visible throughout the investigation. Coverage is reviewed rather than exhaustive or live, and undisclosed quantities stay unknown. Read how the analysis handles them.
Why Oreline for this work
A company-network link becomes more useful to a material decision when its industrial meaning is understood. Oreline helps your team inspect the facilities, products and disclosures behind that link. Explore the sandbox to see why a commercial agreement and a quantified physical flow require different evidence.
Pricing and access
Oreline costs $1,000 USD per organisation per month, including 20 individual seats and access to the published research library, curated dataset and investigation tools. See the subscription details.
FactSet Supply Chain Relationships pricing is not quoted here. When comparing costs, account for the required modules, team access, data rights and contract term. Oreline's organisation plan includes the published research and working tools in one subscription.
Oreline’s free sandbox needs no account and contains selected examples. It is a product evaluation, not free access to the full subscription workspace.
What to test before buying
- Ask whether an edge represents a company relationship or a physical material route.
- Verify the basis before attributing production or revenue exposure.
- Confirm the required relationship-data entitlements and historical access.
Frequently asked questions
Is every customer relationship a physical supply route?
No. The disclosure may identify companies without naming a product flow, factory or allocation. Those distinctions should remain visible.
Does Oreline support broad portfolio-network factor research?
That is not its core scope. Its focus is evidence-led research into the rare-earth permanent-magnet chain.
