Only buy from
approved sources.
Manage your suppliers and your contacts in one place. On the quality side: supplier approval and re-approval, scorecards, and a live approved vendor list — so purchasing only pulls from sources you’ve qualified, and performance is tracked, not assumed. On the relationship side: contacts, communication logs, call reports, and follow-ups — the whole thread in one CRM. Because TLM is two apps on one system, buyers check the AVL and log activity in a browser while quality owns the approvals.
supplier approval · re-approval · scorecards · AVL · CRM
Qualified suppliers, tracked performance, and every relationship on one thread.
Supplier approval, controlled
Qualify suppliers, capture the evidence, and set approval status — so purchasing pulls only from sources you’ve actually vetted, not whoever answered the phone.
Re-approval on schedule
Re-approval due dates are tracked and flagged, so an approval never lapses quietly and an audit never catches an expired one.
Scorecards and performance
Rate suppliers on quality, delivery, and more — and let the numbers drive re-approval and where you source, instead of habit.
The approved vendor list, live
The AVL is always current — and it’s the list purchasing and receiving actually check against, not a spreadsheet from last year.
CRM: contacts and communications
Customers, suppliers, and partners with communication logs, call reports, and follow-ups — the relationship thread in one place, not five inboxes.
Issues tie back to the supplier
A nonconformance or complaint links to the supplier record, so a scorecard reflects reality — not just the paperwork from onboarding.
One system. Two apps. The right tool for every person.
TLM runs as a deep desktop/network Main App and a modern browser Web App on one shared database. Quality owns the approvals; buyers just check and log.

How is this supplier really doing?
Ask Claude to summarize a supplier’s performance across scorecards, on-time delivery, and any nonconformances — flag whose re-approval is coming due, and even draft the supplier correspondence. The vendor review that used to take a morning, in a sentence.
Approved sources, wired into the work.
The approved vendor list isn’t a spreadsheet off to the side — it gates purchasing so an order can’t go to an unapproved source; a supplier’s nonconformance lands on their scorecard; and qualifying a new source, like a second supplier, runs as a tracked project. Suppliers aren’t a contact list — they’re part of the quality system.
Could you prove that supplier is approved — right now?
If the AVL lives in a spreadsheet and the evidence lives in an inbox, bring it. In a 20-minute demo we’ll show supplier approval, scorecards, and the CRM working as one — with purchasing that can only pull from approved sources.
