Supplier Communications

Supplios provides built-in communication features to streamline interactions with your suppliers. These features help ensure that all parties are aligned, reducing the need for emails and spreadsheets.

Key foundational communication features include:

• Topic-Based Messaging: Communicate with suppliers directly within the context of specific tasks, workflows, or documents. This keeps all relevant information and discussions in one place.
• Email Integration: Suppliers receive email notifications for assigned tasks, reminders, and updates. Suppliers can reply to these emails, and their responses will be captured in the platform and automatically sent to all other involved team memebers by email, ensuring that all communication is tracked and organized.
• In-App Messaging: Both internal users and suppliers can send messages within the platform, ensuring that communication is timely and contextually relevant.
• Automated Notifications & Reminders: Set up automatic notifications and reminders for upcoming deadlines, task assignments, and status changes to keep everyone informed and on track. These can be for individual tasks, or as 'digest' notifications that summarize all upcoming tasks and deadlines for a supplier or internal user.
• Collaboration Tools: Share documents, data, and updates with suppliers in real-time, fostering better collaboration and faster decision-making.

There are also other dedicated communication features within specific modules, such as the ability to send RFQs and receive supplier quotes within the Sourcing module, or the ability to send compliance reminders and receive supplier document uploads within the Compliance & Contracts module.
