If a company wants to maintain compliance in a regulatory environment, it must be able to accurately track suppliers on an approved vendor list (AVL). The AVL must be continually managed and monitored, a process that becomes increasingly more complex as manufacturing processes and product designs are modified over time. A proven software solution can give manufacturing companies the ability to efficiently manage and approve AVLs and effectively track supplier quality and supplier statuses.

Expert supplier management can be mastered when you use a powerful set of professional supplier management tools like MasterControl Supplier™.

MasterControl gives all employees a user-friendly interface for accessing all documentation and records related to every supplier and their associated goods and services.

Ultimately, MasterControl's supplier management tools help reduce the resources otherwise wasted on purchasing out-of-spec or faulty products from unapproved suppliers.
The system's unique "Supplier View" feature displays a Supplier Status field for each supplier, which indicates if a particular vendor is approved or not.

MasterControl's user-friendly interface simplifies the process of adding or changing data relating to suppliers, parts, or services. Additionally, the goods/services links contained within the system operate bi-directionally, allowing users to automatically check approval statuses and review detail information.
