Supplier shortlist export: turn a directory search into a list you can work from

A supplier shortlist export takes the results of your MSI Supplier Directory search and puts them in one list, with each supplier’s star level, location, capabilities and certification status, ready for your supplier qualification process.

Searching the MSI Supplier Directory is free, and you can export up to 3 suppliers from any search at no charge. When you need a longer list of ISO-certified suppliers to compare, the supplier shortlist export saves you from copying listings one at a time.

What’s in a supplier shortlist export

  • Star level: what MSI has confirmed about each supplier, from ★ Listed to ★★★★★ MSI Assessed.
  • Location: where each supplier is based.
  • Capabilities: what each supplier does.
  • Certification status: the ISO standards each supplier reports being certified to.

Who uses it

Purchasing, quality and supply chain teams use a supplier shortlist export when they need to find, compare and qualify ISO-certified suppliers. If your management system requires you to evaluate and select external providers, as ISO 9001 does, a shortlist gives you a documented starting point: who you looked at, what you knew about them and when.

It is just as useful for a single sourcing project, such as replacing a supplier or adding a second source, as it is for teams who qualify new suppliers every month. Either way, you start from suppliers whose star level shows what MSI has already confirmed, instead of a blank search.

How the supplier shortlist export works

01 · Search the directory for free

Search the MSI Supplier Directory by what you need. There is no charge to search.

02 · Export up to 3 suppliers free

For a short list, export up to 3 suppliers from any search at no charge.

03 · Choose a Single Export or Unlimited Exports

For a longer list, choose the option that fits how often you source.

04 · Work from your shortlist

Use your export to contact suppliers, request quotes and start your own supplier qualification.

Choose how you export

Single Export: $49

One search, up to 50 suppliers. Best for a one-time sourcing project.

Unlimited Exports: $99/month

As many searches and suppliers as you need. Cancel anytime. Best for purchasing and quality teams who qualify suppliers regularly.

How to read star levels on ISO-certified suppliers

Every supplier in your export carries a star level, so you can see at a glance how far MSI has confirmed it:

  • ★ Listed: researched and listed by MSI.
  • ★★ Claimed: the supplier has confirmed its listing.
  • ★★★ MSI Reviewed: MSI has reviewed the supplier’s management system manual and certificates through the MSI Supplier Directory Review.
  • ★★★★ Self-Assessed: the supplier has completed the MSI Supplier Self-Assessment and MSI has checked its evidence.
  • ★★★★★ MSI Assessed: MSI has assessed the supplier directly.

Higher ratings cannot be bought. Star levels reflect MSI’s review status on the date shown; they are not a certification, which is granted only by accredited certification bodies. To confirm a certificate is current, check with the certification body or search IAF CertSearch.
