A Supplier portal, or also known as a vendor portal, is a secure internet-based eProcurement solution that allows companies to manage and connect with 3rd party suppliers of goods and/or services.
The system removes the manual effort that is required during the procurement process by automating most of the tasks that would normally have to be completed manually by both the company and the supplier. It provides suppliers with a purchase order system that makes their job easier while providing updates to the company ERP without all the manual hard work. The portal allows the supplier to confirm the PO, conveniently add delivery dates and related invoices, and keeps a log of each event associated with the PO.
The main purpose of a portal is to reduce time-consuming manual tasks like providing copies of documents, invoices, statements, reminders, and data updates, as well as automating aspects of the supplier management like onboarding and updating account information.
Portals provide both supplier and buyer a single, shared view of data. The portal offers the ability for suppliers to perform self-service inquiries online whenever they need to know the status of an expected payment. It offers a lens into the buyer’s ERP system. Inquiries that would need to have been conducted via a time-consuming game of phone tag could instead be performed with just a few mouse clicks. Portals also provide an online resource for buyers to communicate changes to contact details, routing guides, and business processes to the supplier community. Historically, these changes had to be communicated to each supplier through direct mail, phone conversations, or vendor conferences.
A supplier portal is a SaaS based hosted solution and there is no need for hardware or infrastructure to run this system.
