Supplier Quality Chain

What is your live exposure on this supplier, right now?

Kissflow runs the supplier quality chain on one system, alongside SAP and your PLM, holding PPAP, deviation, corrective action, and gate review on one supplier record.

Trusted by manufacturers worldwide

Deviations outlive their limits

A deviation approved for a quantity or a date expires quietly when nothing counts the parts or watches the clock.

Email is the escalation engine

A supplier corrective action moves forward when a quality engineer remembers to chase the supplier again.

Five processes, five systems

PPAP, deviation, supplier corrective action, internal CAPA, and gate review typically sit in five tools that share no supplier record.

The certified base is large

More than 102,000 sites hold IATF 16949 certification worldwide, and every one of them runs these processes for every part.

Capability thresholds are absolute

Many OEMs require a capability index of at least 1.67 before full sign-off, and a value below 1.33 commonly drives interim approval.

Dashboards report, workflows don't

A quality system holds the submission record while the corrective action that follows it lives in an email thread.

Your core systems stay in place. The workflow connects them in one place.

Five functions, one supplier record, and nothing you already run has to move.

The teams running the supplier quality chain

Supplier quality, engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and the supply base. Five functions, one supplier record.

The governed execution layer

Routes submission elements in parallel, counts deviation quantity against a hard expiry, links corrective actions back to the element that passed, and computes gate status from the evidence beneath it.

Permits Exceptions Incidents Shutdowns Field capture Contractor access

Everything you already run

Your ERP, PLM, MES, and quality systems. API and integration connectors. Nothing existing moves.

Submit

The pack is checked before a reviewer ever opens it.

Kissflow routes the elements in parallel and holds the submission against the supplier and the part record.

Deviate

A deviation carries a hard expiry and a quantity counter.

Kissflow shows a live deviation against the same part the submission covers, with the limit counted rather than assumed.

Correct

The corrective action traces back to what should have caught it.

Kissflow links the defect to the part and to the element that passed it, so the trail survives the closure.

Gate

Gate status is computed from evidence, not asserted.

Kissflow reads submission status, open corrective actions, and live deviations as the criteria the gate evaluates.

Built for how supplier quality actually runs.

Six things that separate a governed supplier chain from five disconnected tools.

An action layer, not another dashboard

Kissflow runs the cross-process work that a submission tool records for one process and nothing else.

Built for supplier quality workflows

Submission, deviation, corrective action, internal CAPA, and gate review share one supplier record and one part record.

Rollout in 30 to 60 days

The first process goes live in weeks and the sixth costs a fraction of the first once the records exist.

Audit-ready governance built in

Every approval is timestamped and attributed, which is the evidence an IATF surveillance audit asks to see.

Connects to your existing systems

Kissflow works alongside SAP, Oracle ERP, Siemens Teamcenter, your PLM, and your MES.

Built for fusion teams

Quality engineers configure the workflows they own while IT retains permissions, integration, and audit control.

The questions buyers ask before the demo.

Point tools go deep on the submission itself and we do not compete with them there. What they do not hold is supplier corrective action, deviation, internal CAPA, and gate review against the same supplier and part record. Kissflow runs that chain.

No. Your ERP, PLM, and quality systems remain the system of record. Kissflow connects through API and integration connectors and runs the governed work alongside them.

One process goes live in 30 to 60 days. Because the supplier and part records are already in place, each additional process is a schema and a workflow rather than a new implementation.

Kissflow timestamps and attributes every approval, holds corrective action evidence against the part, and retains the record an auditor asks for. It does not replace your certified quality system.

Submission is the entry point because it is the process everyone recognizes. The commercial case is the chain, since no point tool holds enough of it to show live exposure on one supplier.

Pricing depends on user mix across quality, engineering, and supply chain. A solution engineer can model this against your process count and headcount.
