The parts of the job that eat the day
Certificates lapse quietly
A document expires and nobody notices until an auditor asks for it.
Chasing by email
The same request sent three times because there is nowhere for the supplier to put the file.
Scoring by impression
Supplier reviews argued from memory because the evidence sits in different inboxes.
Where you sit in the flow
The supplier maintains their own file, and you see it in the state they left it.
One record per supplier, kept current by the supplier
Documents, certificates, audits and evaluations file against the supplier they belong to. Expiry dates are tracked, and suppliers can maintain their own paperwork through the portal.
- Expiry dates surfaced before they lapse
- Suppliers update their own documentation
- Consistent scoring across your suppliers
Both products are open to your role. Here is what each one does with your day.

The certificate nobody chased
A supplier’s certification is due to lapse next month. It appears on the record before it expires, so the renewal is a scheduled task rather than something an auditor finds first.
The supplier updates their own documentation through the portal. The version you are looking at is the version they uploaded, not an attachment forwarded twice and saved to a shared drive under a name someone chose in a hurry.
At the quarterly review, supplier performance is argued from the same scoring criteria applied to everyone, rather than from whoever had the strongest impression of the last delivery.
- Expiries surface before they become findings
- Suppliers maintain their own paperwork
- Reviews run on evidence, not impressions

Both instruments are connected to IQX™ – so rather than having one software package for this instrument and another for that one, it’s all one web-based system. I can go on from home, from my phone, from anywhere I have an internet connection.
