Supplier monitoring & risk
Supplier quality assurance
Supplier risk monitoring scores the suppliers you buy from on real-world evidence, in addition to self-reported forms. Different modules score 1.2 million suppliers — border refusals, origin governance, incident history — down to individual manufacturing locations.
What is supplier risk monitoring?
Supplier risk monitoring is the continuous, evidence-based scoring of the suppliers a food company buys from — in addition to the annual questionnaire, with evidence supplied by authorities. Different modules — detailed below — cover supplier search, origin risk and per-location supplier scoring across 1.2 million suppliers. The resulting ranking drives audit prioritisation: highest risk first, with the underlying evidence attached to every score.

Common questions about supplier risk
Q1
How are suppliers scored without questionnaires?
With evidence supplied by authorities: documented incident history and origin-country risk. The score reflects what actually happened at the authority level and in the record — in addition to what a form claims.
Q2
Can I check a supplier before onboarding?
Yes — Supplier Search covers 1.2 million suppliers across 195 countries. Look one up and its recall history appears with a timeline, contributing to onboarding due diligence within seconds.
Q3
How does this drive audit planning?
Suppliers are ranked highest-risk first, per manufacturing location, so the audit calendar follows the evidence. A risk uplift on a supplier can also trigger audit prioritisation automatically in your existing systems via workflow integrations.
