ZRG + Tacto
You have Tacto for suppliers. Now you need a picture for critical materials.
Tacto solves supplier workflow, questionnaires and REACH/RoHS-oriented compliance. ZRG Mineral does not solve the same problem — and is not meant to. ZRG delivers the material intelligence layer: which CRMA-14 commodities in your BOM drive € exposure, which MOFCOM signals lead the market by 6–8 weeks, and which coverage gaps your portfolio has.
Not ZRG vs. Tacto — ZRG alongside Tacto
The most common objection: “We already have a supplier tool.” Correct — and that is why ZRG is not positioned as a replacement. Tacto manages supplier relationships and compliance workflows. ZRG answers a different question: Which material at which volume would stop your production — and what of that do you not see today?
What Tacto does well (and ZRG does not)
- Supplier onboarding, ratings and questionnaire workflows
- REACH/RoHS-oriented documentation and supplier compliance
- Broad coverage across supplier categories
ZRG is deliberately ❌ here — we do not replace supplier workflow. See the full competitive matrix.
What ZRG adds
- Material score per commodity (gallium ≠ copper ≠ neodymium) with ZRG risk score 0–100
- Portfolio exposure in € — for CFO, CRMA audit and board readouts
- Predictive alerts from MOFCOM, export licences and lag indicators
- Watcher: intelligence graph and supply chain map for tier-2/3 visibility on critical minerals
- Compliance Black Box: hash-chained audit trail for CRMA/LkSG evidence
When the combination makes sense
Not “every procurement team”. Teams with:
- Sector: automotive (e-drive, power electronics), semiconductors, wind — CRMA-14 materials in the BOM
- Materials: gallium, neodymium, germanium, graphite, rare earths — not generic steel/sheet
- Trigger: CRMA audit deadline, last season's supply gap, CFO asking for material exposure, export stop without documented alternative
Without concrete pain, nobody buys a second tool. “Nice to have next to Tacto” kills the deal — that is why we qualify pilots on exactly these signals.
Typical flow
- Tacto remains system of record for suppliers and questionnaires
- Portfolio upload (CSV/XLSX) into ZRG — material scores and coverage map in week 1
- Read-out: € exposure, blindspots, CRMA fields — enterprise quote or stop
