The path to the complete app

Six stages, 31 app tickets. Open a stage to see what it adds.

1 A useful workspaceSign in, save information, and organize the people and suppliers using the app. Underway4 tickets

#9Sign in and save supplier records

In progress

An invited customer can sign in by email code, add a supplier, and return later to find their saved information.

#10Build customer questionnaires

Up next

Customers can start with a template or a blank form, edit their questions, and preview the questionnaire before sending it.

#17Give each teammate the right access

Upcoming

Customers can invite their team and decide who can manage settings, run day-to-day work, or only view information.

#27Organize companies and locations

Upcoming

Customers can keep each supplier company and its locations organized, then choose which company or location a request is for.

2 Prepare and send requestsBring existing information into the app and send the right package to each supplier. Planned4 tickets

#16Bring in questions from documents

Upcoming

Customers can turn Word, Excel, CSV and readable PDF files into questionnaires they can review and edit.

#28Bring in questions from scans and photos

Upcoming

Customers can turn scans, photos, screenshots and handwriting into questions, then check and correct the results.

#15Add suppliers in batches

Upcoming

Customers can bring in a supplier list, review missing details or possible duplicates, and confirm the additions together.

#11Send questionnaires and invitations

Upcoming

Customers choose the supplier contacts, documents and due date, then confirm the invitation. Each supplier receives a fixed copy of what was sent.

3 Complete and manage responsesHelp suppliers respond, then review, follow up, download and renew their records. Planned11 tickets

#12Save and collaborate on supplier answers

Upcoming

Invited supplier contacts can work together, upload evidence, and return to unfinished answers. Customers see progress, not private drafts.

#13Sign, submit and review responses

Upcoming

An approved supplier signer checks and signs the response before submitting it. The customer then reviews and accepts it.

#18Manage supplier collaborators

Upcoming

Suppliers can suggest teammates, while customers approve their access and decide who is allowed to sign.

#19Correct submitted answers

Upcoming

Suppliers can make approved corrections without erasing the original response. The updated response needs a fresh signature and review.

#20Replace a changed questionnaire

Upcoming

Customers can send a corrected version to previous recipients. Earlier records stay available, and the replacement starts with fresh answers.

#29Explain questions clearly

Upcoming

Customers can add examples, explanations and upload instructions so suppliers understand what is being asked.

#30Show only relevant questions

Upcoming

A supplier’s answers determine which follow-up questions appear. Skipped questions do not create false missing-answer warnings.

#21Track follow-up work

Upcoming

Customers can request clarification or additional evidence, set a due date, and review the supplier’s reply before closing the task.

#22Download responses and evidence

Upcoming

Customers can download response summaries, answer spreadsheets and supporting files without exposing unfinished supplier work.

#23Manage reminders and deadlines

Upcoming

Customers can set or extend deadlines, control reminders, and receive alerts when important work needs attention.

#24Renew older responses

Upcoming

Customers can see which responses are due for renewal and confirm a new request. Eligible previous answers can be reused, with a fresh signature and review.

4 Turn answers into useful actionApply customer-defined grading and keep follow-up work clear and consistent. Planned4 tickets

#31Choose how questionnaires are graded

Upcoming

Customers can define their own grading approach and understand each result. Questionnaires can also remain information-only, without a score.

#32Review and update questionnaire ratings

Upcoming

Customers can review ratings, explain adjustments, and reassess existing answers under a new method while preserving earlier results.

#33Suggest useful follow-up actions

Upcoming

Customer-defined rules suggest follow-up work for review. A person approves each task before it is sent to a supplier.

#34Avoid duplicate follow-up work

Upcoming

New findings connect to related open tasks, while previously resolved work stays resolved unless someone deliberately starts new work.

5 Build the full assessment pictureConnect cargo flows, outside concerns, inspections and human judgment. Planned6 tickets

#35Map how cargo moves

Upcoming

Suppliers can describe the stages of their cargo flow in a clear map and submit it for customer review.

#36Keep cargo maps up to date

Upcoming

Suppliers can prepare changes privately and submit an updated map for review without losing earlier versions.

#37Record country and route concerns

Upcoming

Customers can record concerns about locations or routes, along with supporting sources, dates and their reasoning.

#38Make an overall assessment

Upcoming

Customers review questionnaires, cargo maps, concerns and follow-up work together, then record a human assessment using their own method.

#39Reassess when information changes

Upcoming

Customers can see newer information and decide whether another assessment is needed. Earlier conclusions remain intact.

#40Use inspection checklists and evidence

Upcoming

Customers can create or adapt inspection checklists, share them with suppliers, and review the completed evidence.

6 Prove it is readyProtect the complete set of records and verify the full working experience. Planned2 tickets

#14Prove records can be recovered

Upcoming

The complete app is backed up and restored separately to confirm that records, access and supporting files are preserved.

#25Confirm the full app is ready

Upcoming

The complete customer and supplier experience is checked against the agreed plan before it is presented for final acceptance.

Build order, not a date promise. Questionnaire authoring is planned next; team access and company organization can follow the same first milestone.

Completion pace

Accepted app tickets, separate from planning decisions.

First ticket still underway.

Completion pace is not established yet. The work already completed inside an open ticket does not count as an accepted ticket.

0 in the last 7 days0 in the last 28 days

Initial checks are progress, not final acceptance.

Before the first ticket closes

The current hold and the remaining work.

Finish shared access

An account-access change is needed before the remaining shared-access setup can be completed. This is the current hold on final review.

Responsible Account owner, then development team

Complete email sign-in

The shared app needs its own working sign-in emails. This must be checked before reviewers can use it.

Responsible Development team

Check the complete first journey

Confirm that a reviewer can sign in, save a supplier, leave, and return to the saved record. Then the first ticket can be accepted.

Responsible Development team and project owner
