BQCIS

Validating Your Gateway for New Suppliers

A robust onboarding process is critical to maintaining control and integrity across your supply chain. Onboarding Process Verification ensures that supplier qualification procedures—such as audits, financial checks, and code of conduct confirmations—are consistently and effectively implemented.

This service examines your onboarding workflow, documentation, and internal controls to ensure that each step is applied uniformly. It verifies that all required approvals, documentation reviews, and compliance checks are properly executed before a supplier is approved.

BQCIS performs independent onboarding process audits to confirm consistency, highlight inefficiencies, and identify any procedural lapses. The outcome strengthens confidence that your supply chain entry points are controlled, transparent, and compliant.

Success Story

Audit Reveals Gaps in Supplier Qualification Process

The Challenge:

A global manufacturer needed to ensure that its onboarding process for regional suppliers was consistently applied across multiple sites.
