String3 is an online supply chain risk-mapping tool provided by 3P Strategy Limited. Its core purpose is to help brands and retailers understand where their products are actually made, where materials come from, and which products are exposed to higher supply chain risk. It places particular emphasis on collecting data “beyond tier-one suppliers” by allowing questions to be passed step by step along the supply chain, building a more complete view of the supplier network.
The product centers on StringQuestions: users ask tier-one suppliers questions about specific product instances; suppliers respond with whether they manufacture or source the relevant materials, then pass the questions on to upstream organizations. The system visualizes the supply chain in real time and generates Question Progress Reports showing key production stages, supplier counts, locations, response status, and each supplier’s role in manufacturing the product. Researched Process Maps pre-map material and process stages, reducing the cost of designing questionnaires from scratch. Question Builder supports creating questions and emails from templates. For collaboration, the text mentions that colleagues can be invited to help set up questions, but does not disclose fine-grained permission management.
String3 offers a free allowance of up to 12 supply chain questions per year. Standard includes 36 questions/year, while Premium includes 360 questions/year plus advanced reporting and voice/video support. Enterprise provides unlimited questions, dedicated account management, managed reporting, managed support, and training. All paid plans are quoted on a POA basis, so pricing transparency is limited. The service runs online at app.getstring3.com, with no mention of self-hosting or private deployment.
The terms indicate that user data remains owned by the user, while String3 receives only the storage and processing rights needed to provide the service. Suppliers without a direct relationship are anonymized and assigned unique reference numbers, and their identities are not disclosed to other users. The provider says it only shares data with trusted third parties required to deliver the service and subject to risk assessment, and that identifiable information can be deleted upon request. The downside is that it does not disclose certifications such as ISO, SOC, or GDPR, nor does it provide a more systematic description of security controls.
Its strengths are strong supply chain traceability beyond immediate suppliers, reports designed around product risk decisions, and no fees for supplier responses, which can help improve participation. Its limitations include the lack of public API, third-party integrations, payment method details, and certification information, as well as the need to contact sales for pricing. It is better suited to brands, retailers, and large enterprises focused on modern slavery, deforestation, raw material origin, supply chain due diligence, and ESG compliance, rather than general procurement management scenarios.
The available text does not provide information on Mainland China access, payment, or local compliance, so china_access can only be assessed as unknown. If a China-based team plans to use it, they should first test connectivity to app.getstring3.com, email deliverability, contract payment methods, and cross-border data requirements. Possible alternatives include local supplier management, supply chain visualization, or ESG compliance platforms.
