Material onboarding
Turn supplier dossiers into reviewed material records
Compound reads each SDS, COA, TDS, and supplier document. It extracts the values that matter, checks them against your onboarding standard, and shows what is ready, due for review, or missing.

Why teams use it
Supplier files arrive unevenly
Every supplier has its own format, naming, and completeness. The team still has to decide whether the material is ready.
Backlog hides risk
Old dossiers and inherited records make it hard to know which materials are defensible before an audit or customer request.
Approval needs evidence
A material record is only useful if the decision links back to the SDS, COA, spec, certificate, or supplier document behind it.
What changes
Build reviewed material records
Compound turns each dossier into a structured record with source-linked values, required documents, and open gaps.
Surface what is missing
Tables turns expired, missing, or conflicting evidence into the to-do list for supplier follow-up.
Keep approval with the team
Compound drafts the record and findings. Reviewers accept, correct, or request more from the supplier.
Who is it for
Quality leaders
Owners of supplier qualification, material approval, and audit readiness.
Operations and supply chain
Teams that need approved materials ready before production or launch.
Supplier quality and procurement
Teams managing recurring supplier gaps across the portfolio.
Material onboarding, in practice
What teams ask before reviewing supplier dossiers.
What documents can Compound read?
SDSs, COAs, TDSs, spec sheets, allergen statements, certificates, questionnaires, supplier forms, and PDFs you already use. We map the fields to your onboarding standard.
What makes this a reviewed material record?
The record contains the extracted material and supplier details, the source behind each value, the required documents, and the open gaps. Reviewers can see what changed and what evidence supports it.
Does Compound approve materials or suppliers?
No. Compound drafts the record, checks it against your criteria, and surfaces the gaps. Your team keeps the approval decision.
What if a dossier is incomplete?
Compound turns missing evidence into the worklist and shows which document, certificate, value, or supplier response would close each gap.
Do we need to clean the files first?
No. Upload or forward the files as they exist today. Compound classifies the documents, links them to the material, and flags anything ambiguous for review.
Our requirements live in SOPs and spreadsheets today.
Many teams start there. We map the first onboarding standard with you, encode it as checks, and test it against past supplier dossiers before it runs in the workflow.
