Supplier onboarding

Turn supplier spreadsheets into a governed register

Import the supplier data you already hold, open branded onboarding windows with your own rules, and make qualification decisions that survive an audit.

Migration

Start with the supplier data you already have

Upload CSV or Excel files. The platform profiles columns, identifies incomplete records, detects possible duplicates and helps your team map existing data into a controlled supplier register.

Your files, unchanged

The original workbook is preserved exactly as supplied, with a checksum. Nothing is edited in place, and no formula, macro or external link is ever executed.

Column profiling

Inferred types, empty and unique counts, example values and invalid entries — per column, before you map anything.

Duplicate detection

Similar legal names, shared registration numbers, shared bank accounts and repeated email addresses, surfaced for a person to resolve.

Cell-level lineage

Every committed value traces back to its file, sheet, row and column, and to the transformation applied.

Nothing becomes a live supplier record until a reconciliation report balances and someone approves the import. A committed batch can be reversed through a compensating entry — never by deletion. A buyer with no spreadsheet at all can add suppliers one at a time instead; importing is not the only door.

Vendor windows

Give every window its own rules

Create a branded registration link for a specific category, business unit or onboarding period. Define required documents, questions, declarations and qualification criteria.

Versioned on publication

A published window is immutable. Editing it creates a new version, and applications already submitted are unaffected.

Evidence you specify

Required documents with expiry rules, conditional questions, and declarations that must be accepted before submission.

Public or invitation-only

A window is reachable only through your own link. Vendors cannot browse other organisations or opportunities.

Vendors do not pay to register or submit an application. A draft application is the vendor’s own until they submit it — the buying organisation cannot read a draft or its attachments.

Qualification

Make defensible supplier decisions

Review evidence, assign findings, request corrections and record qualified, conditionally qualified or declined decisions with reasons and approval history.

Findings against criteria, not impressions

Reviewers mark each requirement pass, fail, unclear or not applicable, with the evidence they relied on and a reason.

A recommendation is not a decision

The reviewer who takes an application under review cannot approve it. An override references what it overrode and carries a mandatory reason.

What a decision record contains

Supplier identity and the window version applied

Every piece of submitted evidence

The criteria used, and the findings against them

Clarifications requested and answered

The recommendation, and the final decision

Conditions and expiry dates

Reviewers, approver and timestamps

Complete audit history

Boundaries

A supplier record is not an approval

Registration creates a supplier record — not an approved vendor. Qualification confirms that defined requirements were met — it does not create an invitation, contract, award or payment authority.

Each organisation retains control over sourcing, contracting, ERP creation and payment approval. The platform preserves the evidence and decision trail needed for those downstream processes.
