Supply Chains are an intricate interchange of information between buyers and suppliers that result in an exchange of goods or services and payment. If all goes well, this can result in lasting partnerships.

One cumbersome aspect of the supply chain process is collecting and maintaining accurate and validated supplier information. Intensive administrative work is required from both suppliers and buyers to ensure accurate data to minimize risk.

The traditional qualification, validation. and onboarding processes require suppliers to submit their information to each buyer in different formats. For or buyers, compliance regulations demand reviews of supplier information and ratings.
