Supplier monitoring & risk
Supplier quality assurance
iComplai supplier risk monitoring scores the suppliers you buy from on real-world evidence, in addition to self-reported forms. Different modules score your 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 — and iComplai takes that evidence from authority records. Different modules — detailed below — cover supplier search, origin risk and per-location supplier scoring. The resulting ranking drives audit prioritisation: highest risk first, with the underlying evidence attached to every score.
Different modules that rank supplier risk
iComplai ranks supplier risk with three modules: Supplier Search, Origin Risk Scoring and Supplier Risk Scoring.
Search
Supplier Search
Look up any supplier in the global database and see the published quality related issues before you onboard — due diligence in minutes. Anything from child labour to recalls or illegal waste disposal.
Module · Score
Origin Risk Scoring
Country-level risk for every sourcing origin — regulatory quality, rule of law, corruption control and political stability.
- 195 countries, continuously updated
- Feeds your sourcing decisions and VACCP
Score
Supplier Risk Scoring
Each supplier scored per manufacturing location based on authority notification data — completely auditable and traceable, fully customised to your supplier base.
- Location-level granularity for every supplier
- Drives audit prioritisation: highest risk first
Common questions about supplier risk
Q1
How are suppliers scored without questionnaires?
iComplai scores them 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 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.
Q4
How can a QA manager keep a supplier risk assessment up to date with global incident data?
By scoring suppliers continuously on authority records, not once a year. iComplai scores each supplier per manufacturing location on authority records and ranks them highest-risk first, with the evidence attached to every score, and keeps origin-country risk continuously updated alongside. When a supplier’s risk rises, that uplift can prioritise its audit in your existing FSQ systems.
Q5
How can a procurement team assess the risk of a new origin country before buying?
Start with the country, then the supplier. iComplai’s Origin Risk Scoring gives a country-level risk for every sourcing origin and feeds both sourcing decisions and VACCP. Supplier Search then shows a candidate supplier’s published issues and recall history before onboarding, and raw material risk monitoring shows how the same ingredient behaves from that origin.
