The Challenge
Supplier audits and third-party risk activities ran through spreadsheets, emails and disconnected systems, creating inefficiency and compliance exposure. Schedules, findings, corrective actions and supporting documentation were scattered across locations, making traceability difficult, communication between suppliers and auditors was manual, and regulatory documentation lacked any centralised visibility.
Schedules and findings held across separate places.
Auditor and supplier communication handled by email.
No line from finding to corrective action.
Documentation assembled under regulatory pressure.
Approach & Solution
smartData built a centralised platform on Angular, .NET Core and SQL Server with cloud infrastructure, digitising the complete supplier audit and third-party risk lifecycle from supplier onboarding and document management through audit scheduling, audit execution, findings tracking, corrective action workflows and the regulatory documentation that follows each closure.
A role-based architecture separates administrators, auditors and suppliers so collaboration stays controlled. Configurable workflow engines drive multi-stage audits with status transitions, automated notifications and role-based approvals, and centralised audit history carries document versioning and activity logging.
Key Features
Multi-stage approvals set by audit type.
Actions followed from raise through to close.
Every revision retained against its audit.
Suppliers contributing inside controlled access.

Final Outcome
Audit schedules, findings, corrective actions and documentation sit in one traceable record, suppliers participate directly instead of by email, and regulatory evidence stays current rather than reconstructed before an inspection.
