What if Suppliers Do Not Have Portals

In the early day, not all Supplier will have portals and many Suppliers may never have portals. For local or international Suppliers, they can use your portal at no cost to you or the Supplier. You can send ePIF or Specification Requests, notify Supplier via email, have Supplier enter data and documents into your portal, have Supplier submit for approval, return for correction and approve ePIFs or Specifications. Once approved, all ePIFs, Specifications or documents recertification and reminders processes and tracking are automated.

Additionally, you can manage Supplier and Facility data and documents.
