The problem

Three to four months, and almost none of it is the audit.

The technical assessment of a supplier is quick. What takes a quarter is the paperwork: certificates chased over WhatsApp, the same company details retyped into a different form for every buyer, and 63 certificate types checked by hand, one at a time.

How it works

Three steps, start to finish.

One process, run the same way for every buyer and every supplier.

  1. 01

    Suppliers build a profile once

    Certificates, statutory identifiers and financials go in once. Each one is checked where it can be, and labelled with how, so nothing passes as more certain than it is.

  2. 02

    Buyers post a requirement

    Suppliers apply using a form autofilled from that same verified profile, not a blank spreadsheet.

  3. 03

    Buyers review a verified shortlist

    Every answer on the shortlist shows where it came from. Approve, reject or ask for changes from one screen.

Who it's for

Built for both sides of the qualification.

For buyers

Keep the qualification form you already use. Publish it once, and review the answers with their evidence attached instead of chasing paperwork by hand.

For buyers

For suppliers

Build your profile once. Every later application fills itself from that same verified record, and certificates are tracked so they don't lapse unnoticed.
