You inherit their gaps.
When a supplier skips a validation step or delivers an incomplete certificate, the finding lands in your audit and the delay lands in your project plan. Their problem becomes your problem.
"Suppliance" is the new supplier development platform by SIFo Medical: a training portal branded to your company, weekly live mentoring with an ISO 13485 Lead Auditor, and AI review of supplier documentation. Our founding partners start onboarding their suppliers soon. Wider availability is planned for 2027. Join the interest list and we'll let you know when new places open.
Most suppliers are excellent at making parts. Few of them know what ISO 13485, process validation or a complete first article submission actually require. So your team fills the gap. Again and again.
When a supplier skips a validation step or delivers an incomplete certificate, the finding lands in your audit and the delay lands in your project plan. Their problem becomes your problem.
Explaining sample sizes, TMV and documentation requirements to every new supplier eats hours your engineers should spend on your own products. And six months later, the next supplier asks the same questions.
Missing calibration records, wrong material certificates, incomplete dimensional reports. Every incomplete submission means another review loop, another email chain, another delayed release.
Free and non-binding. Joining doesn't reserve a place. We'll send you updates and invite you first when we open.
Join the 2027 Interest ListYou get a training portal in your company's branding. Your suppliers log in and work through proven courses on TMV, validation and MedTech documentation requirements at their own pace. What's in it for you: suppliers learn exactly what you need them to know, and your team never explains the basics again.
Once a week, your suppliers bring their real questions to a live online session with Simon Föger. Concrete answers on their actual projects, not theory. What's in it for you: supplier questions get expert answers without blocking your engineers, and problems surface before they reach your incoming inspection.
Supplier documentation gets an AI review against your requirements before it lands on your desk. Gaps, missing records and inconsistencies are flagged while the supplier can still fix them. What's in it for you: you review complete submissions instead of chasing incomplete ones, and releases stop waiting on paperwork.
Suppliance launches with a small group of founding partners. One platform for supplier development: training, mentoring and document review, finally in one place.
We're keeping the first cohort small on purpose, so every partner gets our full attention.
Join the interest list and you'll be the first to hear when we open Suppliance to more companies in 2027.
