Answer for your supply chain without chasing it by hand.
Zilch keeps your suppliers’ audit reports, certificates and declarations in one place, chases what’s missing and fills in buyer due diligence questionnaires from what you hold. Save time and cost, reduce risk and stay ready as requirements change.
The problem
Your buyers are asking about your suppliers.
Larger buyers have to account for their supply chains. That includes companies reporting under Australia’s Modern Slavery Act and many government and corporate procurement teams. You’re part of their supply chain, so they ask for your supplier code of conduct, ethical audit reports, chain-of-custody certificates and where your products are made.
Most of that sits with your manufacturers, often several tiers back.
Chasing suppliers
Audit reports, certificates and origin attestations only come from suppliers. Getting them means follow-up email after follow-up email.
Answering the same questions
Every buyer sends their own due diligence questionnaire. Most ask for the same policies, audits and factory details, just worded differently.
Evidence going out of date
Audit reports go stale and certificates expire. They sit in inboxes and shared drives, so nobody can see what’s current or what has lapsed.
What Zilch automates

Stay ready for what’s next
When a buyer asks for something new, Zilch shows what you already hold, what’s missing and which supplier to ask.
How it works
Set it up once. It keeps itself current.
Bring in your suppliers.
Zilch reads the documents you already hold, then imports your suppliers and products by CSV or supplier feed.
See what’s missing.
