Core AvailableEvaluate suppliers through a connected record—not a single certificate or a temporary impression
QSigma360 Supplier Quality brings supplier profiles, documents, evaluations, audits, nonconformances, SCAR, and scorecards into one quality environment. Quality and procurement teams gain a clearer view of qualification, monitoring, and reevaluation, with decisions supported by evidence retained over time. The standalone supplier portal and selected advanced automation are not yet complete.
Who is it for?
The product serves supplier-quality, food-safety, procurement, and supply-chain teams; audit and SCAR owners; and people authorized to approve or restrict supply scope. It suits organizations needing to connect actual supplier performance with qualification decisions.
The problem and the value
A certificate may sit in email, an audit in a separate report, and rejected lots elsewhere while a decision is made without complete history. Fragmentation hides recurring nonconformance and turns reevaluation into administration rather than a risk- and performance-informed decision.
QSigma360 Supplier Quality connects the record with supply scope, documents, evaluations, audits, NCR, SCAR, and indicators. Teams review evidence, assess responses, and record a decision to continue, improve, or restrict. The platform does not automatically approve suppliers or guarantee conformity.
Six capabilities and outcomes
- 1Structured profile and qualification: Record supplier data, sites, classification, supply scope, owner, requirements, and internal status.
- 2Document and certificate management: Connect required documents with dates and status so gaps and renewal needs become visible.
- 3Evaluation and reevaluation: Assess defined criteria, compare performance, and retain decisions, follow-up conditions, or scope restrictions.
- 4Connected supplier audits: Link plan, scope, checklist, evidence, and results, then turn findings into trackable actions.
- 5NCR and SCAR: Record nonconformance, request corrective action, and follow response, evidence, verification, and decision.
- 6Scorecards and trends: Combine configured acceptance, nonconformance, audit, and response indicators to support prioritization and reevaluation.
How the lifecycle works
- 1Create the supplier and define classification, supply scope, and internal owner.
- 2Gather documents and initial assessment data and check completeness and validity.
- 3Review evidence and record qualification status, decision, and conditions.
- 4Connect incoming results, inspections, audits, and quality events to the record.
- 5Open NCR or SCAR and assess the response, evidence, and verification internally.
- 6Reevaluate and record a decision to continue, improve, restrict, or reassess.
Integration, governance, and availability boundaries
The product connects with QSigma360 Documents, Audits, NCR, CAPA, Risk Management, and Reports. Permissions separate collection, review, and authorization, while activity history preserves decisions. AI may suggest summaries or review points; it cannot approve a supplier or close SCAR.
Core internal capabilities are available according to configuration. The independent portal for self-registration, document upload, and direct SCAR response—plus recurring alerts, advanced automation, and broad integrations—remains partial or in development until its approved operating scope is complete.

Frequently asked questions
What is available today?
Supplier profiles, documents, evaluations, audits, NCR, SCAR, and scorecards exist as core internal capabilities according to the configuration and approved scope of each deployment.
Can suppliers sign in and upload their own documents?
The standalone supplier portal is not complete; available external access depends on each deployment’s approved configuration.
Does the system approve suppliers automatically?
No. It supports evidence collection, scoring, and follow-up, but authorized users make the final decision under policy.
Does the product guarantee supplier quality or compliance?
No. It supports control, evaluation, and traceability but does not replace technical verification, audit, or contractual and regulatory responsibility.
