How Atri compares
What it does, what it leaves to others, and where to go for the jobs it does not do.
Atri is early warning for the costs, suppliers and customers your business depends on. Tell it what you buy and who you buy it from; it watches news, regulators and price benchmarks across the UK, US and India, traces each effect inward to your costs, and warns you early when one of your costs is about to move.
Atri sits between three kinds of tool a small business might already use: supplier-risk platforms, energy brokers and tariff calculators. This page says what Atri does and does not do, so you can choose. It makes no claim about any other company's product.
What Atri does, and what it leaves to others
| If you need to… | Atri | Where to go instead |

| Publish its own hits and misses | Yes: the track record shows every dated cost call | — |
| Buy, switch or broker an energy contract | No | Your energy supplier or a licensed broker |
| Calculate the duty on a specific shipment | No | The official tariff tools listed below |
| Audit or score a named supplier's finances in depth | No: it flags news, filings and regulator notices that name a supplier you told it about | A credit reference agency or your own due diligence |
| Tell you to buy or sell an investment | No, never | — |
Supplier risk
Atri watches the suppliers, customers and lenders you list for news, filings and regulator notices, and traces what an event could mean for your costs. It does not run supplier questionnaires, onboarding or financial audits. How it works.
Energy
Atri tracks the electricity and gas prices and charges that move business energy bills, so you can talk to your supplier or broker earlier. It does not arrange contracts. Energy costs we track.
Tariffs
Atri warns when tariffs, duties, trade rules or exchange rates that touch your imports are changing. For the code and duty rate of a specific product, use the official tools:
- UK Trade Tariff (GOV.UK): commodity codes, duty and VAT rates
- Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (USITC)
