Supplier compliance, onboarding and evidence
Supplier compliance cannot be managed effectively when procurement holds the contacts, quality holds the certificates and sustainability maintains a separate questionnaire spreadsheet.
One supplier, one accountable record
SupplySpec connects supplier profiles, documents, approval status, supporting evidence and relevant quality actions. The aim is to make it clear what a supplier provides, which evidence was supplied, what has been accepted and what remains outstanding.
A supplier record also needs structured review. A certificate being uploaded does not prove it covers the product, market or revision in question.
Risk-based questionnaires for SMEs and enterprises
Not all suppliers require the same questions. Use suitable levels of evidence for the product criticality, location, category and identified risks. Supplier questionnaires support information gathering, but require a responsible internal reviewer and proportionate follow-up.
The Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 generally requires annual reporting by covered entities with consolidated revenue of at least A$100 million. Smaller manufacturers may not report directly but may be asked for information by customers that do. A response process should not imply that questionnaires alone establish legal compliance.
- Supplier approval and onboarding documents
- Tiered questionnaires and follow-up
- Declarations, certificates and review dates
- Supplier corrective action records
Connect supplier decisions to affected products
When a supplier is suspended or a critical document needs revalidation, procurement and quality should know which products and materials may depend on that supplier. Linking records reduces the need to rebuild the impact from spreadsheets.
