Identifying and requesting SLCP assessments from Suppliers

As a brand, Retraced helps you easily identify which suppliers in your network have an SLCP Assessment available in the SLCP Gateway. You can then request that these suppliers download their assessment into Retraced and share it with you.


Step 1: Open the “Network companies with SLCPs” Tab

  1. Go to the Vendor Compliance > SLCPs section in Retraced.

  2. Open the new tab labeled “Network companies with SLCPs.”

This tab lists all your network companies that:

  • Have a valid SLCP ID, and

  • Are connected to you as a supplier.


Step 2: Review the Supplier Table

In this tab, you’ll see a table with key details about your suppliers:

  • Company Name

  • Last Request Date → when you last requested an SLCP Assessment from this supplier

  • Assessment ID and Facility Processes

At the top of the page, a banner shows the # of Companies with SLCP ID in your network and how many assessments you can request access to. Use Contact customer success to extend this.

Step 3: Request SLCP Assessments

  1. Find the supplier in the table.

  2. Click the lock icon (Request Access button) in the “Actions” column of the supplier. A confirmation “Access request sent successfully” appears.

What happens next?

If the SLCP feature is not enabled for your subscription, a modal will appear with the following message:

No Access to Feature
“You have # companies in your network that have an SLCP ID. The feature is not yet part of your subscription. Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager to get access to the data!”

If the SLCP feature is enabled, the supplier gets a task in their Activity tasks with the SLCP tag and a Learn more button, and an email. The notification details are:

  • Title: New SLCP Assessment Sharing Request

  • Body: Dear User Name, Brand Company Name would like to request access to your latest SLCP Assessment. If you have one, please download it from the SLCP Gateway and share it with them on the platform. Please follow the instructions below for a step-by-step guide.

Step 4: Supplier Next Steps

Once suppliers receive your request, they will:

  1. Download their most recent assessment from the SLCP Gateway into Retraced.

  2. Share the assessment with you directly through the platform (see How to Share an SLCP Assessment for details).


Example Workflow

  1. You open the Network companies with SLCPs tab.

  2. You see 25 suppliers with SLCP IDs but only 5 who have shared assessments before.

  3. For each of the remaining 20 suppliers, you click Request Access.

  4. Those suppliers receive a notification and are guided to download and share their assessment with you.

Tip for Brands: Use this feature regularly to close gaps in your supply chain transparency and ensure you’re working with the most up-to-date SLCP data.
