# How Can I Automate a Reminder for an Expiring Supplier Certification?

You automate certification reminders by connecting every supplier certification's expiration date to an automated alert triggered ahead of time. On **Jestor**, this runs through automation tied to certification expiration fields.

Supplier certifications tracked only when someone happens to review supplier files risk lapsing without anyone noticing until an audit or customer inquiry catches the gap.

## What untracked certification expiration costs

- A supplier's certification lapsing without anyone noticing until it's caught externally
- Compliance exposure from continuing to source against an expired certification
- No systematic reminder before a certification actually needs renewal
- Time spent periodically reviewing supplier files to check expiration manually

## How automated certification reminders work

- Every certification's **expiration date** connects to an alert triggered ahead of time
- A dashboard shows every supplier with a certification approaching expiration
- Nothing lapses unnoticed, since the system watches continuously
- The responsible team member gets notified in time to follow up with the supplier

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automated alerts remove the risk of a certification lapsing unnoticed
- This reduces compliance exposure from sourcing against expired certification
- Consolidated visibility covers every supplier's certification status at once
- This scales from a handful of suppliers to a large, diverse supply base

| Untracked certification expiration | Automated certification alerts |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| Risk of unnoticed lapse            | Flagged before expiration      |
