Audit Standards
Supplier Approval That Stands Up to Audit
Every major scheme expects you to know who supplies you, why they were approved and how you monitor them for changes. Primority is aligned with these requirements, giving you supplier and raw material evidence you can open in front of an auditor with full confidence.
BRCGS Food Issue 9
Approve suppliers and raw materials against documented risk assessments, and keep the certificates and documents for each decision on the supplier record, ready for the next audit.
SQF Editions 9 & 10
Show how each approved supplier was assessed and keep its supporting documents together, so your approved supplier list is backed by evidence rather than memory.
FSMA
Manage Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) by recording supplier risk assessments, approvals and verification, while preparing your supply chain for FSMA 204 traceability requirements.
Retailer Codes and Legislation
Meet retailer expectations for supplier control with approval records, supplier documents and alerts held in one system, so you can confidently answer customer questionnaires.
Who Supplier Quality Management Software Is For
QA Managers: Approve Suppliers Without the Chase
Approving a supplier often means weeks of emails and missing documents. Primority sends questionnaires to assess suppliers before approval, lets them upload documents directly and reminds you before certificates expire, so you spend your time reviewing evidence, not chasing it.
Technical Directors: Supplier Risk Decisions You Can Defend
Supplier risk decisions need to stand up to auditors, customers and the board. Primority scores every supplier and raw material the same way, by ingredient, origin and supplier history, and turns risk exposure into financial impact, so your decisions are consistent and easy to defend.
Procurement and Supplier Teams: Know Every Supplier's Status
Buying from a supplier whose approval has lapsed is a risk you can't afford. Primority keeps each supplier's approval, certificates and documents in one record, and matches FDA, UK FSA, RASFF and CFIA recall and alert notices to your suppliers, so you can act before a risk reaches your site.
Site Managers: Close Supplier Issues Faster
When a delivery fails, you need the supplier to fix it fast. Primority lets you log every complaint and nonconformance, assign actions, follow up with the supplier or run a root cause analysis, and trend complaints to spot repeat problems early. Primority helps you ensure your suppliers are always ready so your site stays ready.
