Certificate types supported (supplier tracking)
Use one standardized pipeline for the most common supplier ISO credentials. The purpose and artifacts below help procurement, quality, and EHS teams align evidence requests.
| Standard | Purpose (high level) | Typical supplier artifacts |
|---|---|---|
| ISO 9001 | Quality management systems | Certificate file, scope statement, sites covered, registrar and certificate ID |
| ISO 14001 | Environmental management systems | Certificate file, scope/sites, environmental aspects/impacts summary, registrar details |
| ISO 45001 | Occupational health & safety | Certificate file, scope/sites, safety management scope, registrar details |
| ISO 50001 | Energy management systems | Certificate file, scope/sites, energy scope summary, registrar details |

Required fields for each supplier certificate
Configure a single schema so every supplier record is complete and auditable:
-
Supplier legal name and vendor ID
-
ISO standard (9001, 14001, 45001, 50001)
-
Certificate ID and issuing registrar
-
Issue date, expiry date, and surveillance cycle (as applicable)
-
Scope statement and sites/facilities covered
-
Certificate file (PDF) and supporting evidence (e.g., scope addendum)
-
Primary contact at supplier (name, email, phone)
-
Internal owner/approver and business unit
-
Status (Pending Intake, In Review, Approved, Rejected, Expired)
-
Last verified date and verifier
-
Risk notes (e.g., nonconformance history) and tags (commodity, region)
-
Linked obligations (POs, quality agreements) and related controls
Parakeet standardizes these fields in smart forms and workflows, with automated evidence collection and audit trails. See Features.
Automated expiry reminders and cadences
Never miss a renewal by scheduling configurable countdown reminders that meet your supplier policy. Common cadence examples:
-
90 days before expiration: email vendor + create Trello task for buyer; place calendar event. See Google Calendar and Trello.
-
60 days: escalate to Slack channel for Sourcing/Quality; request new certificate upload via vendor portal/message. See Slack.
-
30 days: executive escalation; block new POs if policy requires; notify internal audit queue.
Reminders update dynamically as dates change, ensuring accuracy across calendars and collaboration tools. See Google Calendar integration and Features.
Approvals workflow (configurable)
Design a clear, auditable path from intake to approval:
-
Intake and completeness checks (auto-validate required fields; flag missing registrar info). See Features.
-
Compliance review (Quality/EHS/Procurement as applicable to the standard).
-
Risk notes and conditions (e.g., conditional approval pending site scope update).
-
Final approval and activation (certificate visible to downstream workflows like PO release).
-
Continuous monitoring (reminders, re-verification, and change tracking). See Certification Automation.
All actions are logged in an immutable audit trail for external audits and internal QA reviews. See Features.
One-click Export: audit binder
Generate an “audit binder” containing supplier certificate records, approvals, evidence, and activity logs:
-
Export to Google Docs for collaborative review and finalization, then generate a PDF for auditors. See Google Docs integration.
-
Include a register of all active certificates, exceptions, expirations in the next 90 days, and proof of reminders/communications.
-
Timestamped approvals with reviewer identity and comments.

-
Review and approve: route to the right approvers; capture comments and decisions with audit trails. See Features.
-
Export binder: produce a complete ISO evidence package via Google Docs, then PDF. See Google Docs.
-
Monitor continuously: dashboards highlight gaps, expirations, and supplier risk hotspots. See Manufacturing.
