Everything about a supplier, on one file
FOSS IQX™ Supplier Quality is built as modules built for the job covering the full supplier relationship.
Supplier information
One record per supplier: sites, contacts, materials, documents.
Supplier audit
Plan, run and record audits against your own criteria.
Supplier quality evaluation
Score suppliers on the measures that matter to you.
Supplier complaint
Raise, track and close complaints with an action plan.
Template management
Reusable questionnaires for onboarding and review.
Supplier portal
Let suppliers submit and update their own documentation.
Supplier quality settings
Categories, criticality and workflow rules, configured once.
Template management
See which certificates lapse next, before they do.
Module availability depends on your configuration. A specialist can confirm what applies to your operation.
Nothing expires without you knowing
Replace the shared drive and the reminder spreadsheet with one record the supplier keeps current.
Expiry dates on the record
Certificate and document deadlines surface before they lapse, not after an auditor finds them.
Score suppliers consistently
The same criteria applied to every supplier, so comparisons hold up in a review meeting.
Audit-ready records
Documents, audits and complaints filed against the supplier it belongs to, and exportable.

I can go on from home, from my phone, from anywhere I have an internet connection.
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.
Watch somebody use it
Real screens from the software, in the order a person moves through them. It runs on its own; pause it whenever.

You do not need a FOSS instrument
FOSS IQX™ Supplier Quality is a standalone product. It runs on supplier data, not instrument data – so it works whether or not you own FOSS analytical instruments.

Alongside FOSS IQX™ Device ManagementWho runs it
Typical ownersFOSS IQX™ Device Management and FOSS IQX™ Supplier Quality are two dedicated products on one software. Each works without the other – you can run either, or both.
