  • Supplier Master Data & Information

Turn fragmented supplier data into one trusted record for every business partner

SupplyOn helps manufacturers centralize supplier master data and information, keep it current, and make trusted supplier data available across strategic and operational processes.

The Challenge

What is Supplier Master Data & Information?

Supplier Master Data & Information provides a structured foundation for managing supplier master data and related information. SupplyOn combines shared business partner data with customer-specific information in one supplier record, while suppliers can maintain and update their own data.

Shared information can be maintained once and reused, while private and customer-specific data remains specific to the individual customer relationship.

The Challenge

Supplier processes depend on data teams can trust

Supplier information is often spread across ERP and SRM systems, spreadsheets, and email threads. Missing contacts, expired certificates, duplicate records, and inconsistent data make it harder for teams to find the information they need and keep supplier processes running efficiently.

No single reliable view of supplier data

Information stored across different systems and sources makes it difficult for teams to access a consistent and reliable supplier record.

Supplier data quickly becomes outdated

Contacts, certificates, and other supplier information change over time, leaving teams with incomplete or outdated data when updates are not collected systematically.

Data maintenance requires continuous manual effort

Buyers and administrators spend time searching for missing information and following up with suppliers to keep records complete and current.

The Solution

Build supplier processes on a trusted data foundation

SupplyOn combines centralized supplier records, supplier self-service, automated updates, and data quality controls to keep supplier information structured, current, and available across connected processes and systems.

One supplier record for shared and customer-specific data

Create a unique supplier record that combines shared business partner data with customer-specific information. Supplier profiles can include addresses, contacts, certificates, public identifiers, company information, hierarchies, and locations alongside customer-specific qualification, risk, performance, compliance, and sustainability information.

Business impact
  • Reduce manual effort during supplier intake
  • Collect initial supplier information faster
  • Improve data completeness from the start

Continuous updates through supplier self-service

Let suppliers maintain their information through self-service and use automated update requests, expiry-based confirmations, and event-triggered surveys to request fresh information when it is needed.

Business impact
  • Reduce manual follow-up for buyers and administrators
  • Refresh critical supplier information faster
  • Increase confidence that supplier data is current when teams need it

Data quality, enrichment, and cross-process integration

Improve supplier information through validation rules, duplicate checks, external data checks, workflow-based enrichment, and optional managed services. Connect supplier data with ERP, SRM, customer systems, and SupplyOn processes across lifecycle management, compliance, performance, risk, and sourcing.

Business impact
  • Improve data completeness and validity
  • Build more trustworthy supplier information for downstream decisions
  • Use supplier data more effectively across strategic and operational processes
