Target Users and Use Cases

Supplios is designed for the people who work with suppliers every day, as well as the internal stakeholders who participate in supplier processes occasionally.

Typical internal users include:

• Buyers, sourcing analysts, category managers, and GSMs.
• SQE, SQM, supplier quality, supplier development, and quality assurance teams.
• Supply chain, logistics, planning, and operations teams.
• Engineering, R&D, tooling, finance, accounting, legal, compliance, and management stakeholders.
• Admin and IT users who manage access, configuration, integrations, SSO, and account-level settings.

Suppliers use Supplios to respond to the work assigned to them, without creating a separate cost burden for the customer or supplier. There are no costs associated with supplier users, no per-supplier-user fees, and no limit to the number of suppliers or supplier users that can be invited to the portal.

Common platform-wide use cases include:

• Maintaining supplier master data and contact information.
• Running RFQ/RFP/RFI sourcing events, intake requests, and award workflows.
• Managing supplier quality workflows such as Claims, 8D/SCAR/NCR, PPAP, APQP, NPI, audits, and corrective actions.
• Tracking supplier certifications, contracts, policies, acknowledgements, and other compliance documents.
• Onboarding new suppliers, managing supplier status changes, and refreshing supplier data over time.
• Generating supplier scorecards, tracking KPIs, and triggering improvement actions.
• Coordinating order confirmations, delivery date updates, inspection data, ASN, and other order or shipment-related processes.
• Building custom workflows for supplier-related processes that do not fit a standard module.
