For Swiss companies from 10 employees
Your supply chain. Provable at any moment.
SCRM brings supplier compliance and supplier risk management into one Swiss SaaS platform. Certificates, assessments and audits sit together rather than scattered across drives and mailboxes.
SCRM = Supplier Compliance & Risk Management
Three of these four lines become findings in the next audit. That is exactly where SCRM starts: continuous monitoring instead of spot checks, reporting at the push of a button.
Starting point
The process exists. The evidence does not.
In most SMEs supplier management is lived practice – spread across heads, mailboxes and spreadsheets. Nobody notices until somebody asks.
Scattered data
Payables in the ERP, certificates in a mailbox, evaluations in a file that belongs to one person.
Unnoticed deadlines
Certificates expire quietly. It surfaces during an audit or a customer request – the worst possible moment.
Effort in waves
Three weeks of preparation before every audit, because nobody kept up for twelve months.
How it works
Four steps. The first one takes an afternoon.
Capture
Import the supplier list, set ownership and criticality. Including the providers purchasing never thinks about.
Evaluate
Define criteria once, then apply them to everyone. Evaluations stay comparable instead of individually argued.
Monitor
Expiry dates, review cycles and incidents surface automatically. What is due carries a name and a date.
Evidence
The audit report is an export. With history, author and timestamp – not a list tidied up afterwards.
Benefits
Three reasons, and all three are countable.
Compliance without the all-nighter
Evidence is produced during the work, not after it.
- ISO 9001 clause 8.4 fully covered
- ISO 27001 controls A.5.19 to A.5.23 evidenced
- Customer questionnaires answered from the record
Less effort per supplier
Upkeep spreads out instead of piling up before the audit.
- One record for quality, IT and purchasing
- Self-disclosures straight from the supplier
- Reminders instead of chasing
Risk visible before it gets expensive
Single sources and hidden dependencies surface early.
- Criticality by impact, not by order value
- Dependencies beyond tier one
- Incident history reveals patterns
Standards and regulation
Everyone has a different trigger. The underlying data is the same.
Certification audit, customer questionnaire or regulation: the questions land on the same facts. Read up on what applies to you.

Investment
The question is not what it costs. It is what today costs.
Supplier work does not disappear when you skip the software. It spreads across hours nobody records – requesting evidence, tracking deadlines in a calendar, chasing, assembling everything before the audit.
Pricing follows company size and the number of suppliers you maintain. In the consultation you get a firm number for your situation.

Entry CHF 1,990 per year
1 – 10 full-time equivalents
Move the slider to your company size
The ladder runs to 100,000 full-time equivalents; above that on request. The figures are upper limits, not entry thresholds – a company of eight pays the entry price. Francs in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, euros in the rest of the EU, at the same figure.
Worked example
Ten monitored suppliers, one responsible person.
Effort per supplier per year, assuming evidence, deadlines and evaluation are actually kept.
Assumptions · ten monitored suppliers · fully loaded rate CHF 150 per hour
| Activity per supplier per year | today | with SCRM |
|---|---|---|
| Request, check and file the self-disclosure | 0.5 h | 0.2 h |
| Request certificates and verify validity | 1.0 h | 0.4 h |
| Track deadlines and keep them in view | 0.75 h | 0.1 h |
| Annual evaluation: gather data, score, document | 1.5 h | 0.6 h |
| Chase missing responses | 0.75 h | 0.2 h |
| Assemble documents for audits and customer requests | 1.0 h | 0.1 h |
| Total per supplier | 5.5 h | 1.6 h |
| Across ten suppliers | 55 h | 16 h |
39 hours less per year. At a fully loaded rate of CHF 150 an hour that is CHF 5,850 – close to three times the entry price. Arithmetically it pays for itself from the fourth monitored supplier.
Model values based on typical routines in certified SMEs, not a measurement. The hourly figure is a fully loaded rate – salary, social charges, workplace and overhead – not gross pay. We rerun it with your own rates and supplier counts in the consultation. The leverage grows with the number of suppliers, not with headcount.
