Know exactly who's approved to supply what.
Suppliers and contractors, properly managed.
Your approved supplier list, document and expiry tracking, a qualification pipeline, supplier audits, and full contractor, induction and visitor management — in one place.
Illustrative interface
The problem
Supplier approvals done via email. Documents stored in a shared drive that nobody checks for expiry. Performance issues raised verbally and forgotten. When a customer auditor asks to see your supplier approval process, 'it's in a folder somewhere' is not an answer that inspires confidence.
Approved Supplier List
A live ASL with a seven-stage approval lifecycle, risk rating, approval categories and re-approval dates — a single source of truth for who is approved to supply what.
Document compliance
Define the documents each category must hold, track verification and expiry, and get a compliance rate per supplier — with alerts well before a certificate lapses.
Qualification pipeline
Move new suppliers through a visual qualification pipeline with configurable questionnaires, checklists and an approval decision — so onboarding is a process, not an inbox.
Also in this module
Supplier audits and scorecards
Schedule and run supplier audits, log delivery, quality and non-conformance events, and score performance on a weighted, configurable scorecard with red, amber and green bands.
Contractor and visitor management
Manage individual operatives, site inductions, competency certificates and contractor RAMS, plus a site visitor sign-in log — the evidence a site safety audit asks for.
ISO 8.4 evidence and reports
Five formal PDF reports, including an ISO 9001 clause 8.4 evidence pack and the Approved Supplier List itself — audit-grade output for ISO and BRC.
Evidence an auditor will accept
Supplier Ready is built to produce the documented evidence these frameworks expect — generated from your live data, ready to export.
Evidence for these frameworks — not a certification held by Compliance Ready.
How Supplier Ready connects
When a supplier issue needs action — a failed audit, an expired certificate, a performance concern — it is raised in Action Ready and tracked to closure. Suppliers link across the platform too: complaints, incidents, risks and audits can all be attributed to a supplier, and the supplier data feeds ISO Ready's clause 8.4 evidence.
Failed audits, expired documents and red scores raise actions
Complaints can be attributed to the supplier responsible
Incidents can be linked to the supplier involved
Formal supplier audits feed the supplier record
Contractor RAMS can link to risk method statements
Contractor inductions reference training requirements
Provides ISO clause 8.4 external-provider evidence
