What is a supplier portal solution?

Supplier portals include tools for companies to establish, manage and govern access for a network of diverse suppliers and partners to enterprise supply chain information. These external users need secure, timely access to information within a company but should not be granted the same level of access as internal employees. Supplier portal solutions offer a platform to share the right information with the right suppliers in an IT-friendly, secure and convenient manner.

The best supplier portals feature built-in identity and access management, providing a single-sign-on environment that is secure, compliant and fully auditable. Businesses can build their own applications and easily integrate backend systems, such as ERP and content management systems.
