Doubts? Let's solve them:

How can I manage invoices with the help of a supplier portal?
A supplier portal allows you to manage the invoices associated with previously issued and/or received Purchase Orders. If you want more complete information we recommend you to read the following article.

Will my suppliers be able to manage themselves?
Yes, the management of purchasing processes, through the parameterization and implementation of a collaborative platform, allows us to “balance” the workload of the purchasing function processes, involving our suppliers in the performance of certain tasks inherent to our processes. Suppliers will be notified, with advance notice, in order to facilitate the planning and execution of tasks.
Can I approve suppliers on the platform?
Yes, you will be able to carry out an evaluation, classification and selection process that allows you to verify whether a supplier is suitable to work with your company.
We can make the same approach if the question is asked about the products/services that these selected suppliers can provide us with.
The evaluation process, and therefore the approval process, consists of a set of tasks, which may range from actions or work at source or destination, to tests and reports, templates and questionnaires, all performed by different people and roles, depending on the category/s in which the supplier is classified.
