How it works

How supplier qualification works

1

Start qualification by category

The category defines which documents are requested or generated and how the Risk Score is calculated. If the supplier does not exist yet, Linkana creates the record in the same step.

2

Invite the supplier and collect documents

The supplier gets an invite, creates a portal account and submits the requested documents. Public checks against official sources run automatically in parallel.

Risk Score and approval steps

Linkana calculates the category Risk Score and triggers the configured approval steps, all the way to the approve or reject decision, with the full history on record.

What changes in practice

Decide on criteria, from invite to approval

Standardize supplier qualification and replace email back-and-forth and control spreadsheets with an auditable flow.

Automatic Risk Score

Public checks and private documents turn into a comparable score per category, from A to E, so you decide on criteria instead of guesswork.

Categories your way

Each category defines its own documents and risk criteria. A supplier can be qualified in several categories, each with its own score.

Approval steps

Automatic or manual approval flows by level, with every decision on record. Exceptions go through documented manual approval.

Real-time tracking

A category panel and filters by pending item, status and Risk Score show where each qualification stands, with no chasing status by email.

Public tracking link

Share qualification progress with internal teams or the supplier without granting platform access.

Automatic re-qualification

Categories with a renewal deadline trigger a new cycle on their own when the deadline expires, reflecting the current settings.

Integrations

Qualification connected to your ERP and e-procurement

Linkana integrates with the market's leading ERPs and management systems. Qualification can also be started automatically from your requisition system.
