THE WORKFLOW

Three steps. Continuous protection.

01

Upload your supplier list

Paste supplier names directly or upload a CSV. No special formatting required — our matching engine handles fuzzy names, abbreviations, and DBA variations automatically.

Supports up to 500 suppliers on Starter, unlimited on Supply Intelligence.

02

We cross-reference 8 databases

Every supplier is matched against FDA, USDA, CFIA, Health Canada, UK FSA, EU RASFF, EPA, and CPSC records — 28,000+ recall events updated every 4 hours.

Matching runs automatically on upload and re-runs every time a new recall is issued.

03

Get alerted before your buyers do

When a new recall, warning letter, or import refusal matches a supplier in your network, you're notified immediately — with full context, severity class, and recommended action.

Alerts delivered via email and in-dashboard. Webhook support on Supply Intelligence plan.

WHAT YOU GET

Four capabilities. One supplier risk system.

MONITOR

Live recall feed, matched to your supply chain

Every recall issued by FDA, USDA, CFIA, Health Canada, UK FSA, and EU RASFF is ingested within 4 hours. RecallScout automatically flags any recall that matches a supplier in your network — so you're never reading a press release and wondering if you're exposed.

  • Class I, II, and III severity tracking
  • Supplier match highlighting
  • Source and date filtering
  • Export to CSV for QA documentation
SCORE

Composite risk score for every supplier

Each supplier receives a 0–100 risk score calculated from five weighted factors: recall history, warning letter frequency, import refusal rate, inspection failure rate, and enforcement action recency. Scores update in real time as new regulatory data is published.

  • 0–100 composite score per supplier
  • Five-factor weighted methodology
  • Score history and trend tracking
  • Prioritised response queue
SIGNAL

Pre-recall signals before the press release

Warning letters, import refusals, and inspection failures are the signals that precede a formal recall by days or weeks. RecallScout surfaces them as Crisis Signals — categorised by severity and matched to your supplier network — so your QA team can act before the recall is issued.

  • Warning letter monitoring
  • Import refusal spike detection
  • Inspection failure alerts
  • Severity classification (Critical / High / Medium)
REPORT

Audit-ready documentation, always current

Every alert, score change, and supplier match is logged with timestamp, source, and severity. Export your supplier risk report at any time — formatted for retail buyer audits, internal QA reviews, or board-level risk reporting.

  • Timestamped audit trail
  • PDF and CSV export
  • Retail buyer audit format
  • Board-level risk summary
