One supplier quality workspace for OEM and supplier teams
GroundControl keeps requirements, submissions, approvals, scorecards, and corrective actions connected in one system. Every deliverable is tied to part, revision, and due date so your team always knows what is pending, approved, rejected, or overdue.
GroundControl validates submissions against flowed-down requirements before they hit receiving. Earlier visibility means fewer escalations, fewer avoidable rejections, and less schedule disruption downstream.
Supplier quality FAQ
What does supplier quality management software replace?
It replaces disconnected email threads, spreadsheet trackers, and shared-drive folders with a single workflow for requisitions, submissions, approvals, and corrective actions.
Can suppliers collaborate without buying full licenses?
Yes. Supplier accounts are included for broad participation so suppliers can submit required evidence, respond to comments, and track status for your work without creating licensing friction.
How does GroundControl handle OEM-specific flowdown requirements?
Teams can configure required forms, evidence rules, and approval gates by customer or program so submissions are validated against the correct flowdown before release.
Does this help close SCARs faster?
Yes. Containment, root cause, verification, and evidence are managed in one traceable workflow so owners and due dates stay visible until closure.
What metrics should we monitor for supplier risk?
Typical metrics include first-pass acceptance, response time, recurring defect categories, overdue corrective actions, and trend shifts by supplier, part family, or program.
