Stay on top of the supplier documents BRCGS auditors expect to see

Evidash helps QA and technical teams collect, track, review, and prove control of supplier certificates, specifications, declarations, and expiry-driven follow-up, without relying on spreadsheets, inbox chasing, or last-minute audit scrambles.

Evidash helps food businesses stay audit-ready for the BRCGS requirements that depend on current supplier documents, approvals, records, and follow-up.

What BRCGS expects from supplier-document control

For the supplier and record-dependent parts of BRCGS, teams are expected to maintain current documents, show documented review and approval decisions, keep records accessible, and demonstrate follow-up when evidence expires or is missing.

What good BRCGS-ready document control looks like

  • Current certificates, declarations, and supporting files are stored in one controlled location
  • Each document has clear scope, owner, status, issue date, and expiry date
  • Reviews and approvals are logged with timestamps and decision history
  • Renewal reminders and escalations are tracked before documents lapse
  • Sites, suppliers, and materials are mapped so evidence is linked to the right context
  • Teams can retrieve current and historical records quickly during audits

Why BRCGS readiness breaks in spreadsheets

BRCGS preparation often breaks down in the same place: supplier documents live across inboxes, folders, and spreadsheets; expiry dates get missed; approvals are hard to evidence; and teams scramble before audits to prove that records were current, reviewed, and followed up.

  • Expiry dates are buried in files and inboxes
  • Supplier follow-up depends on manual chasing
  • Teams cannot quickly show who approved which version
  • Sites and materials are hard to map cleanly
  • Audit prep turns into a document hunt

From document chaos to audit-ready evidence

Before Evidash

Certificates are scattered. Expiry tracking lives in spreadsheets. Supplier follow-up happens by email. Approval evidence is hard to reconstruct.

With Evidash

Documents are centralised, dates are tracked, reminders are scheduled, approvals are logged, and your team has a clear record of status and ownership.

What your team can show more easily

  • Which supplier documents are current
  • Which ones are expiring in 30 / 60 / 90 days
  • Which suppliers have not responded
  • Which documents were reviewed and approved
  • Which sites or materials are missing required evidence
  • What changed between document versions
