Supplier management
Onboard, qualify, monitor, and re-evaluate suppliers — without spreadsheets. Designed to support compliance with ISO 13485 Section 7.4 requirements.
Supplier lifecycle
ArvoDocs manages your suppliers through a clear lifecycle:
Onboarding
Collect supplier information via customizable questionnaires. Capture certifications, capabilities, and contact details.
Qualification
Run qualification workflows with approval gates. Evaluate risk, review audit results, and assign a risk classification.
Approved
Qualified suppliers appear on your Approved Supplier List (ASL). They can be linked to documents, quality events, and purchase records.
Re-evaluation
Set re-evaluation intervals. ArvoDocs sends automated reminders and tracks overdue reviews on your dashboard.
Supplier scorecards
Track supplier performance over time with scorecards. Define your own scoring criteria — quality, delivery, responsiveness, documentation — and roll up individual scores into an overall rating. Scorecards feed into re-evaluation decisions.
Risk classification
Classify suppliers by risk level (Critical, Major, Minor) based on the impact of their products or services on your device. Risk classification determines the depth of qualification and frequency of re-evaluation — critical suppliers get more scrutiny.
Approved Supplier List
Generate your Approved Supplier List (ASL) with one click. The list is always current — when a supplier's qualification expires or they fail re-evaluation, they're automatically flagged. Export the ASL as a PDF for audits or management review.
