Supplier status a buyer can check in one click
SupplierTrust Verified turns a supplier’s entry in a list or register your department designates into a signed, revocable badge on the supplier’s own website. A buyer clicks the badge to check it against that record, then keeps a signed receipt for the procurement file.

What the buyer sees after one click
The result comes first, in plain words, with the time it was observed. Each of the five checks is listed with its own result, and a successful check gives the buyer a signed receipt to keep with the procurement file.
The result, and a signed receipt for the file.
Five checks, each with its own result: the source and its age, the signatures, the public claims, the website showing the badge, and the credential’s status.
When a claim doesn’t hold, the buyer sees why
Four other results a buyer can see, and what each one means.

A listing, not an award
Listing verified
Listing verified. Not proof of a contract award.
This source supports a standing-offer listing; it does not establish a contract award or good standing.
If you need proof of an award, ask for it separately.
Out-of-date source
Claim not established
Source evidence is too old
The source record is older than this check allows. It needs to be refreshed.
The record needs a fresh read from the source. Check again once it’s refreshed.
Revoked by the issuer
Revoked
Credential revoked
The issuer revoked this credential, so new checks fail. Earlier receipts record what was checked, and when.
Don’t rely on this badge. Receipts from earlier checks remain on file.

SupplierTrust Verified. Supplier status a buyer can check in one click.
Checking a supplier’s status can mean searching records by hand.
A supplier displays this badge on its website. A buyer can open the evidence behind it.
In one click, the buyer checks the evidence. The buyer can inspect the five checks behind the result. A signed receipt retains the result for the procurement file.
The evidence names the source and when the record was captured. This demonstration uses fictional suppliers and a test issuer.
A copied badge does not verify on another website. The buyer can open the authorized supplier page to check it.
The result says exactly what the source supports. A standing-offer listing is not proof of a contract award.
The check applies an agreed freshness limit. If the source evidence is too old, the claim is not established.
Revoking the credential causes new checks to fail. Earlier receipts retain the evidence checked and the result at that time.
We propose a test with one department. Ten to twenty suppliers and ten to twenty buyers. They would use public or test data. The sandbox would be in Canada, in English and French. If the program approves the test, Innovative Solutions Canada funds it. Results would be measured against your current process.
To request a test, contact Innovative Solutions Canada. Name SupplierTrust Verified and offer TS13-023685. For a twenty-minute demonstration first, contact us.
