Expiry tracking that does the watching for you
A live status board and automated follow-up replace the spreadsheet-and-inbox routine.
A live board of what's current, expiring, and expired
Every required supplier document sits in one filterable view with its status and renewal date, so nothing slips by unnoticed.
- Status shown by colour and icon for fast scanning
- Filter to what is expiring soon or already overdue
- Spot missing documents before an auditor does
Automated chasing that escalates only when needed
Evidash emails suppliers as renewals approach, keeps following up, and loops in your team only when a human is required.
- Scheduled reminders before and after expiry
- Incoming replies processed automatically
- Clean escalation to QA for the exceptions
The problem
Expiry tracking breaks down fast when it lives across inboxes, spreadsheets, and folders
Most teams do not have a real system for managing expiring supplier documents. They have a spreadsheet somewhere, email reminders, a shared drive full of PDFs, and a lot of manual checking.
That works until the volume grows.
A certificate expires quietly. A renewal never gets logged. Someone assumes another team member is chasing it. The wrong version stays on file. Then the problem shows up at the worst possible time — during an audit, before release, or when someone asks whether a supplier is actually current.
- No clear view of what is expired, expiring soon, or still missing
- Renewal dates tracked manually and updated inconsistently
- Supplier records spread across inboxes, folders, and multiple owners
- Time lost chasing suppliers for updated certificates
- Audit preparation turns into a document hunt
The solution
Track every expiry date in one place
Evidash gives your team a single system for tracking supplier document validity across certifications, insurance documents, questionnaires, specifications, declarations, and other controlled records.
Instead of relying on memory and manual reminders, you get a live view of which documents are current, which are approaching expiry, and which still need action.
- Centralize supplier documents and renewal dates
- See expired, expiring soon, and missing documents at a glance
- Assign ownership for follow-up and review
- Keep the latest document tied to the right supplier and requirement
- Maintain a cleaner audit trail without extra admin work
How it works
How certificate expiry tracking works in Evidash
01
Define requirements and track expiry dates
Set the document requirements that matter for each supplier, then store renewal and expiry information so your team can see what is current, what is close to expiring, and what needs to be replaced.
02
Flag upcoming and overdue actions
Surface expiring and expired records before they create downstream issues. Make it clear which documents need review, renewal, or supplier follow-up.
03
Automatically chase expiring and expired documents
Trigger follow-up workflows automatically for documents that are approaching expiry or already expired, so suppliers are chased sooner and nothing critical slips through.
04
Keep supplier records audit-ready
Maintain a more complete picture of supplier document status over time, with the right files attached to the right records and easier access during audits or internal reviews.
Document types
Common document types teams need to keep current
Certificate expiry tracking is not limited to one document type. Evidash is designed for broader supplier document control.
Certifications
Track documents such as BRCGS, FSSC 22000, ISO, organic, halal, kosher, and other supplier certifications.
Insurance documents
Monitor liability and other insurance records so outdated coverage does not go unnoticed.
Specifications and declarations
Keep supplier specs, declarations, and controlled records tied to the correct supplier and version.
Questionnaires and approvals
Stay on top of documents required as part of supplier onboarding, review, or reapproval workflows.
COAs and supporting files
Track validity-linked records alongside incoming quality documents and supporting compliance paperwork.
Custom document types
Manage expiry-sensitive records based on your own internal supplier requirements.
Benefits
What teams get from better expiry tracking

Better audit readiness
Make it easier to show what was current, what was missing, and what actions were taken.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What kinds of certificates and documents can Evidash track?
Evidash is designed for a wide range of supplier documents, including certifications, insurance files, specifications, declarations, questionnaires, COAs, and other records that need to stay current.
Is this only for certificates?
No. Certificate expiry tracking is one use case within broader supplier document control. Many teams need the same workflow for multiple document types, not just formal certificates.
Can this help with missing renewals?
Yes. The goal is to make missing, expired, and upcoming-renewal documents visible sooner so teams can follow up before the issue becomes urgent.
Who is this designed for?
It is built for QA, procurement, and operations teams in food and other regulated supply chains that manage supplier documentation and compliance records.
Do I need to replace all of my current systems?
Not necessarily. Many teams start by replacing the spreadsheet-and-inbox workflow around expiring supplier documents, then expand from there.
Can Evidash track documents beyond supplier certifications?
Yes. The product is intended to support broader document review and control workflows across supplier-related records, not just certificates or COAs.
