Eliminate supplier data chaos to accelerate your SAP Procurement workflows
While SAP powers your core business processes, the quality of your output is only as good as the data you put in. Graphite Connect acts as a proactive gatekeeper, ensuring that only validated, high-quality supplier information reaches your procurement systems. For users of SAP S/4HANA, automate the creation and maintenance of Business Partners (BP) to ensure your digital core remains clean.
Overview
Faster supplier onboarding at the speed of business
As business continues to move faster and faster, onboarding is often left in the dust. With supplier-managed data, automated supplier validation and risk assessments, and SAP integration, the solution provides the tools needed to address critical slowdowns experienced throughout supplier onboarding.
Automated supplier validation
Validate critical supplier data like tax ID, banking information, and sanctions checks. Sanctions checks are repeated every 90 days, and other data is validated if a supplier ever makes a change.
Supplier-managed profiles
Suppliers maintain a single vendor onboarding profile containing critical tax and bank data, along with all their questionnaire responses. This profile is then shared with customers during onboarding to simplify the data collection process.
