ZRG Mineral is a B2B sourcing intelligence platform for critical industrial minerals. It combines risk terminal, coverage map, predictive early warnings and compliance validation with ZRG certificate — for European procurement teams.

How is ZRG different from classic compliance tools?

Classic tools check backwards whether suppliers are ESG-compliant. ZRG Mineral warns forward 6–8 weeks before supply bottlenecks or price increases — with predictive alerts, live risk scores and coverage map.

Which materials does ZRG Mineral cover?

Gallium, rare earths, graphite, copper, lithium, NdFeB magnets and more critical industrial minerals in the material library — with CRMA-compliant field extraction.

Is ZRG Mineral LkSG and CRMA ready?

ZRG supports supply chain due diligence with documented audit trail, ZRG validation certificate (PDF) and compliance scores — designed for LkSG and EU CRMA requirements.

Is there a free way to get started?

Yes — free 30-day pilot on request with personal onboarding. Enterprise licences individually by B2B quote.

Competitive comparison

Tacto, Everstream, Prewave & ZRG Mineral — honest comparison

Teams searching for “Tacto alternative”, “Everstream vs ZRG” or “material risk software” often compare different layers: supplier workflow, ESG alerts, REACH/RoHS and CRMA material exposure. This matrix shows who does what — including ❌ for ZRG where we deliberately do not compete.

Four layers in procurement

Tacto digitises supplier management and compliance questionnaires. Everstream and Prewave alert on supplier and ESG risk. ZRG Mineral models material exposure for CRMA-14 commodities — gallium, neodymium, graphite, germanium — with € impact, MOFCOM lead time and the Watcher graph.

No single tool replaces the others. The question is which layer is missing: supplier workflow, chemical compliance or critical raw materials in your BOM.

When ZRG Mineral fits

Automotive, semiconductors, wind — BOMs with gallium, neodymium, germanium or rare earths
CRMA audit by 2030 — evidence of diversification and material exposure, not just supplier ratings
Concrete pain — last season's supply gap, CFO asking for € exposure, MOFCOM delays without plan B

Without that pain, nobody buys a second tool. “Nice to have next to Tacto” is not enough — that is why we start with a structured pilot on your real portfolio data.

Already using Tacto?

That is not a contradiction. Read ZRG + Tacto — why supplier workflow and material intelligence complement rather than replace each other.
