The Prospective Suppliers module provides the ability to new suppliers to self-register in the platform (or be requested and invited by the business), undertake a qualification and assessment process and be accepted or rejected by the customer organisation as a prospective supplier.
There are two ways a new supplier can register in the platform: either self-register or be requested by internal users and be invited to register into the platform. In both scenarios the prospective suppliers module provide the following features:
- Suppliers are able to generate their login credentials; activate their account; and provide all required information to complete their registration (e.g. company profile, respond to questionnaires).
- Customers are able to monitor suppliers’ registration status; review their information; communicate internally and / or with the supplier(s) via the platform; make an assessment of the suitability of the supplier; and eventually update their registration status (e.g. accepted, rejected).
