Solution features
Pain-free Supplier management
Qualify suppliers with one-touch form
Gather all relevant data and documents from external suppliers with a one-touch form. Suppliers respond to a customizable form in your branding without having to access a portal.
Approve or reject with flexibly defined workflows
Configure workflows yourself and include whoever you want wherever you want into the approval steps. All decisions taken in a workflow and any comments which approvers left during the process are displayed in a workflow history, ensuring audit security.
Release on category or material group level
Release suppliers only for the categories and materials they are qualified for. Further categories and materials can be released or deleted later and, if you prefer, with a different approval workflow.

Solution benefits
Configure the solution flexibly according to your special requirements
The solution framework can be configured according to your specific needs, offering an alternative to standard Cloud applications. You decide on the level of complexity you require.
Accelerate your supplier qualification and onboarding processes
Qualify suppliers with a one-touch form which is fully customizable and branded to your corporate design, without the need for suppliers to register for a portal. Gather the required master data, documents, certificates and more directly to accelerate the qualification process.
Ensure suppliers compliance easily by collecting all data at once
Automatically consider regional aspects such as legally required documents or information as well as technology-specific aspects like quality management requirements already in the initial supplier qualification to ensure compliance.
Approve suppliers for specific material groups and product categories only
Manage your suppliers on the level relevant for your processes. You can approve suppliers for individual categories or material groups, release more categories or materials later if needed and remove them if the supplier no longer matches the requirements, all while keeping a fully transparent history. You can also mass change, assign or delete material groups and product categories to make it even quicker.
Integrates with your third party applications
An open API framework approach allows to include third party data into the approval process directly. Leverage this opportunity to consider for example sustainability checks, external compliance checks, Supply Chain Law checks, carbon footprinting, data validation or anti-fraud detection.
