The SQMS built for fast-moving supplier quality teams
You became a quality engineer to solve problems — not to chase suppliers for overdue 8Ds, shuffle PPAP files in SharePoint, and update tracking spreadsheets.
Supplios is a modern SQMS (Supplier Quality Management System) that automates supplier quality management, so containment is faster, corrective actions actually close, and you're always audit-ready.
Easy-to-use, AI-powered, and well-liked by both SQEs and suppliers.

Built for SQEs, SQMs & Supplier Quality Teams
Supplios eliminates the time-wasting busy-work in supplier quality
Endless email follow-ups asking suppliers for containment, root cause, and corrective actions.
Suppliers get deadlines, reminders, and escalations — no chasers needed.
Excel trackers that are out of date the moment you save them.
Every claim, every supplier, every plant — in real time.
Documents arrive by email and pile up in SharePoint folders.
Files land in a structured PPAP record, organized automatically.
Rebuilding history from inboxes and shared drives before every audit.
Every submission and approval is recorded as it happens.
Nothing links one claim to the next — repeat offenders blend in and patterns go unnoticed.
Dashboards surface repeat offenders, problem parts, and cost of poor quality — before they become crises.
Cost is rarely tracked per defect, so chargebacks get forgotten before anyone invoices.
Every claim carries a cost record — chargebacks are itemized and stop slipping through.
Files pile up in email and SharePoint — nobody can tell which revision the supplier is working from.
Suppliers submit each element with version control — the current revision is always clear.
Findings end up in a report nobody opens after the visit — the same issues recur the following year.
Each finding gets an owner, a due date, and a verification step to confirm the fix actually worked.
Logging a minor defect takes more effort than it's worth — small recurring problems stay invisible.
Any user can raise a defect in seconds — it auto-assigns and starts the workflow.
Corrective Actions / 8D
Create supplier claims, notify the right supplier contacts, and drive containment, root cause, corrective action, verification, and cost recovery from one record.
- Automatic reminders and escalations
- Suppliers get automatic reminders before and after due dates, and overdue items escalate to the next level of ownership to make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
- Analytics to spot repeat issues
- See which suppliers, parts, plants, and programs have the most claims, the highest severity, and the worst trends to prioritize improvement efforts.
- Evidence and cost tracking
- Suppliers can attach photos, files, and costs directly to the claim record so that all the context stays together for reviewers and auditors.
- Configurable workflows and templates
- Set up different workflows, fields, and templates for different claim types, plants, or customers to match your existing processes.
- Supplier portal submission and collaboration
- Suppliers can submit claims, respond to requests for information, and complete 8D tasks directly in the portal without needing to email back and forth or log into internal systems.
PPAP & APQP
Give suppliers a clear PPAP package with the required elements, due dates, files, approvals, and revision history for every part, program, and supplier.
- Structured file upload and review
- Suppliers upload PPAP files directly to each required element, and reviewers can see version history, leave comments, and track approval status without needing to manage separate folders or email threads.
- Interim approval expiration tracking
- Set expiration dates on interim approvals to make sure they get renewed before they expire and put your launch at risk.
- Configurable templates for different requirements
- Set up different templates with different required elements, fields, and workflows for different customers, plants, or programs to match your existing processes.
- Visibility into launch readiness
- Program teams can see which suppliers are blocked on missing approvals, which items are past due, and where the bottlenecks are in the process to proactively manage launch risks.
- Audit trail for approvals and revisions
- Every submission, comment, approval, and revision is tracked with timestamps and user information to give you a complete audit trail for internal reviews and customer audits.
Supplier Audits
Run on-site audits, remote audits, and supplier self-assessments with structured checklists, scoring, findings, action ownership, and verification.
- Structured audit workflows and templates
- Plan and run on-site audits, remote audits, and supplier self-assessments with configurable templates that include checklists, scoring models, evidence requirements, and corrective-action workflows.
- Findings with corrective-action tracking
- Turn audit findings into tracked corrective actions with clear ownership, due dates, and verification steps to make sure issues get resolved and closed.
- Scoring and analytics to track supplier performance
- Standardize scoring across plants and suppliers to make it comparable over time, and get visibility into trends, risk levels, and areas for improvement.
- Supplier self-assessment portal
- Suppliers can complete self-assessment questionnaires and attach evidence directly in the portal without needing to email back and forth or manage separate files.
- Audit history and scorecard integration
- Keep a complete history of audits, findings, and corrective actions for each supplier, and feed audit results into scorecards, risk views, and supplier status decisions.
Supplier Certs & Compliance Management
Keep supplier certificates, policies, documents, and compliance requirements current with clear ownership, expiration tracking, and supplier-facing requests.
- Certificate and requirement tracking
- Keep track of all your supplier compliance requirements, whether they are certificates, policies, declarations, or custom requirements, with clear ownership, expiration tracking, and audit history.
- Automatic renewal reminders and escalations
- Set up automatic reminders for upcoming expirations and overdue items to make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
- Supplier-facing evidence upload
- Suppliers can see their open compliance requests and upload evidence directly in the portal without needing to email back and forth or manage separate files.
- Compliance status dashboards
- Get visibility into which suppliers are missing critical compliance items, which documents are expiring soon, and where the biggest risks are in your supply base.
- Rules for different supplier types and requirements
- Set up rules to automatically assign the right compliance requirements based on supplier attributes like commodity, region, plant, customer program, or risk level.
Scorecards
Combine quality, delivery, audit, compliance, and custom metrics into scorecards that suppliers and internal teams can review together.
- Custom scorecard metrics and templates
- Combine quality, delivery, audit, compliance, and custom metrics into scorecards that automatically refresh from live data and can be customized for different plants, programs, and supplier groups.
- Supplier-facing scorecard views
- Share scorecards with suppliers in the portal so they can see the same information, discuss improvement opportunities, and stay accountable for action items.
- Trend reporting and executive dashboards
- Get visibility into supplier performance trends, rankings, category performance, and drill-down details to proactively manage supplier relationships and improvement efforts.
- Improvement plans tied to performance
- Create improvement plans with clear action items, owners, and due dates that stay connected to the scorecard and can be reviewed in supplier meetings.
- Configurable scoring logic and thresholds
- Set up custom scoring logic, weighting, and thresholds for each metric to make sure your scorecards reflect your priorities and drive the right supplier behaviors.
