Overview of Supply Chain

The Supply Chain in Simvia represents the network of organisations you work with, including suppliers, sub-suppliers, and customers.

Building your supply chain in the platform allows you to structure relationships between organisations and ensures that compliance processes work correctly.

Why your supply chain matters

A well-structured supply chain ensures that:

• Document requests are sent to the correct organisations

• Requirement rules apply to the right suppliers

• Compliance data is organised and easy to track

• You have full visibility into your supplier network

Without a structured supply chain, automation and compliance monitoring will not function as intended.

Core components of your supply chain setup

To get started, you need to set up four key elements:

1. Organisations – Your suppliers and sub-suppliers

2. Products – What is being supplied

3. Documents – Certificates and compliance files

4. Requirements – Rules that define which documents are needed

Recommended setup order

To ensure everything works correctly, follow this order:

1. Import organisations

2. Configure your products

3. Upload documents

4. Set up requirement rules

This structure allows the system to:

• Automatically identify missing documents

• Send document requests

• Monitor compliance continuously

After setup

Once your supply chain is configured, the platform will start working for you:

• The Dashboard will show tasks and insights

• The Compliance Overview will highlight risks

• Requests will be generated automatically

• Your supply chain will remain structured and up to date
