📄 Automated Collection of Legal, Tax, and Technical Documentation in Supplier Onboarding
Avoid emails, folders, and wasted time for every new supplier
Whenever the Purchasing department starts a new business relationship, it must collect a set of key documents to verify that the supplier meets the legal, tax, and operational requirements to contract.
These documents usually include:
📋 Tax ID (CIF/NIF), articles of incorporation, powers of attorney/representation
🧾 Certificates of good standing with the Tax Agency and Social Security
📑 Insurance policies, quality certifications, OHS, GDPR, etc.
📄 Technical data sheets, declarations of conformity, sector-specific licenses
📆 Documents with expiration dates that must be reviewed periodically
When this collection is done manually:
❌ Documents are requested by email and received without order or traceability
❌ They’re stored in shared folders without version or date control
❌ Documents get lost or are accepted without proper review
❌ Too much time is spent reminding, chasing, and validating paperwork
⚠️ Risks of an informal document collection process
- Contracting without complying with legal or internal policies
- Non-conformities in audits or certifications
- Acceptance of expired or invalid documents
- Poor image with suppliers and other departments
- Unnecessary, non-scalable administrative workload
🧩 How does Trackline solve it?
Trackline automates the entire request, receipt, and validation process from the very first contact:
- Create document requirement lists by supplier or service type
(avoid asking everyone the same things without criteria) - Send a link for the supplier to upload documents
(no user account or email back-and-forth required) - Trackline automatically validates dates, formats, and document types
(prevent errors and reduce review time) - Assign internal owners to review technical or legal content if needed
(with task control and comments) - Receive alerts when a document is expired, incomplete, or incorrectly uploaded
(act proactively, not reactively) - Consolidate everything in a digital supplier profile accessible anytime
(no dependence on folders or manual searches)
