A supplier system of record

The platform should connect supplier, facility, product and requirement records so teams can understand which obligations apply to which entities.

Evidence and document controls

Look for document ownership, status, expiration dates, version history and links between evidence and the requirements it supports.

Workflow and approvals

Assignment, due dates, review states, exception routing and audit history should be native capabilities rather than spreadsheet workarounds.

Reuse and integrations

The best architecture lets teams reuse validated data across workflows and connect accounting, ERP, procurement, logistics and document sources where appropriate.
